Happy with Happy Tails! Took our very obnoxious 7-year old Chiweenie there for training and he came back a different dog.

Happy with Happy Tails! Took our very obnoxious 7-year old Chiweenie there for training and he came back a different dog. Chris worked with him and he now responds to commands, bark less and enjoy our house guest…as oppose to nibble at their ankles, yes that was a thing! I admit, I was nervous to leave my pup, but Chris eased our minds and made the entire process seamless; I suppose the updates helped too. Happy Tails was recommended to me, and I am now recommending it to you.

Amy was the trainer that worked with my puppy Sadie during her stay at Happy Tails. She was excellent at communicating with us and helping us feel up to speed on our pups progress. Not only is Amy professional, she brings a kindness and patience to this practice that is appreciated from a learning parents point of view. I feel comfortable and trusting knowing my Sadie bacon was trained by Amy!

We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Chris and Happy Tails. Our goldendoodle absolutely loves it there — which tells you everything you need to know. From day one, the training has been thoughtful, consistent and tailored to his personality. We’ve watched his confidence grow, his manners improve, and his ability to listen in real environments transform completely. The difference is night and day. What sets Chris apart is the genuine care he put into every session. It never feels like a one-size-fits-all approach — he took the time to understand our dog, our family, and what will work in real life, not just in a training room. We left each lesson with clear direction, easy-to-follow tips, and real progress. On top of great training, this is also our favorite place to board our pup whenever we’re away. We have total peace of mind knowing he’s not just being “watched,” but cared for like family. He gets plenty of playtime, socialization, and attention — and he comes home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly knows their craft, treats your dog like their own, and creates a fun, safe environment for both training and boarding, this is it. We’re so grateful we found them — and our goldendoodle is too!

We had Chris as our trainer with Aurora; he was AMAZING! He is kind, professional, and friendly. Aurora was always happy to see him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for any of your training needs. Thank you, Chris, for all that you do!!

Cannot recommend Happy Tails enough. Chris was encouraging and patient with us. His energy and positivity was just what our puppy needed. The three week residency was the right choice, tho it was tough to have our dog away so long. If you are looking for help with your dog give them a call they will walk you through the options.
