What people have asked about this business.

What is the cost of your average class

8-week class (1 hour each) is $370, trainers are excellent! Small groups, personalized attention. Just finished puppy kindergarten with my dog

The classes I attended was 8 weeks long one day a week and it was $369 and well worth every penny... I have a 6 month old Pitbull who is extremely friendly and loving but was showing aggression with other animals... Laurie showed us techniques on how to address it and know introduce him to other animals...

I have been a returning student of happy dog behavior for the past 13 years starting with my first dog Pepe! We especially appreciate the fact that Ellen's training techniques are through positive reinforcement and well worth the effort and time you put in to training your pups . I have now trained 4 dogs with Happy Dog Behavior and continually use what I've learned from the classes on a daily basis . People are always asking how I get my dogs to pose for pictures it's not posing it's going to Mat and Stay ,dedication and Training .. A Huge Thank you to Ellen and Lorrie for your Life Changing and Valuable service !!!

We brought our cane corso puppy to classes at Happy dog training and had a wonderful experience. Our puppy learned a lot and loved coming to class. It has been 3 months since our last class and Ellen still answers any questions we may have and always gives great advice. We are looking forward to signing Boo up for more classes.

I can’t recommend this place enough! I’ve always rescued dogs from shelters so I’ve never really had a puppy (totally different ballgame btw). Each week we learn something new and it’s amazing how far our little guy has came in just a few weeks. They give you the tools to build a confident, happy, well behaved dog and that is just priceless!

We’re currently in our 7th week at Happy Dog and we could not be happier. My pup is a bit on the shy side and Ellen and Lorie really have gone above and beyond in helping him come out of his shell. He’s a Shihtzu so he’s pretty small compared to his classmates, so they went over the other class schedules and invited us for playtime with pups his size the last couple weeks. It brings tears to my eyes how happy I am with his improvement! Yesterday was probably the biggest improvement, he was running around and actually making friends with the other dogs! He’s truly growing into a well behaved confident young dog now and I am so grateful to them. I work in an animal hospital and have been in that field for many years. So I’m familiar with some dog behaviors, but every single week I learn something new in class. At this point I don’t know who’s more excited for class me or the dog 😄.

Ellen and her colleagues are highly knowledgeable, responsive to questions, courteous and very helpful. Our current dog is our third utilizing Happy Dog Training & Behavior and we are very happy with the results. There is no one better to our knowledge.
