I cannot say enough good things about Bob and Happy Dog Training Academy. We sent our new to us rescue ‘Ringo’ to him to help us with some unwanted behaviors such as nipping, reactivity, and just overall testing boundaries etc. He got home last week and it has been a total game changer being able to communicate to him in a way he understands! When Bob dropped him off he spent two hours making sure we knew all of the commands and how to continue Ringos training at home. Bob is an amazing communicator and teacher, we truly are so thankful to have found him! We have already reached out with questions and he’s been quick to respond and help! Thank you!

Bob did an amazing job training our 6 month old Cavapoo. He was wonderful at communication with videos at least 3 times a week with updates. He came to our home to drop TIlly off with 2 hours of detailed instructions. It was a great experience from start to finish. Now it is up to me to keep up the training. I would highly recommend Bob for any dog training needs you may have. You won’t be disappointed

Highly recommend. Really helped us and our dog in just one session. We ended up doing the board and train later which really solidified the training. Had two other trainers who weren’t nearly as impactful as Bob

It’s been a few weeks since Bob brought the dogs back to us after 3 weeks of training. I may have been a bit skeptical after the first 2 weeks after Bob brought them back to us, but their training seems to be clicking in. They now walk beside me and respond to the prompts that Bob gave us. They are doing so much better with sit, stay, come while at home. I understand now that Bob laid the groundwork and now with consistent training from us the training he provided is paying off. Thanks Happy Dog Training Academy.
