Aww, your dog - what a wonderful companion. You take her out for
pleasant strolls and she walks nicely on a leash. Together you go for
walks on the beach, and he always comes when you call him. You take
her with you to the local pet store, because she is calm and well-behaved, and greets both people and dogs politely. And friends and family enjoy visiting your home, because your dog never jumps on them or nips at them.
If this doesn't describe your dog, don’t worry, HAPPY HOUNDS can help.
Our love for, and bond with our dogs, sometimes allows us to forget that they are a different species, with different methods of communication, and a different view of the world. And they don’t speak English! As a result, we often convey the opposite message than we hope to. We wind up frustrated and our dogs wind up more confused than ever. Positive reinforcement training works by teaching rather than correcting first, by taking into account the way that dogs learn and communicate, and ultimately, setting up both dogs and humans to succeed. And it’s fun!
Positive-reinforcement training can begin as soon as you get your new puppy home. Training and proper socialization will help your puppy to become a confident, resilient and well-mannered dog. And an adult dog is never too old to learn how to behave in ways that will make him a more wonderful family companion.
HAPPY HOUNDS offers group classes and private instruction. Please browse our website for more details on our services.

Obedience training is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your dog. You'll both be happier, have a stronger bond and a more harmonious household.
