We have a set of 3-year-old litter mate extra-large pit bulls and our female has a re-direction of aggression issue. We've gone to many trainers, but very little results. Finally, we attended a seminar, and we were referred to Ralf. We finally got the results we were looking for! He was able to help us in too-many-to-mention ways and we finally have the re-direction issue under control, along with other great results that have helped our family live in peace! We are so Grateful & Thankful for Ralf's help. We even have a few training sessions left, that he allowed us to "bank" for future use, when/ if needed. Best investment in our "Hairy Babies" that we ever made!!!

I highly recommend Ralf and his Happy Dog Training!

The foundation of his training is building a strong relationship with the dog and using intrinsic motivation for positive reinforcement of good behaviors. For Leo, that was the ball and it was enlightening how strategic use of the ball could help him learn so quickly (and while having fun).

When Leo needed correction, it was never excessive and always constructive towards mitigating undesirable behaviors. Ralf is incredibly knowledgeable and methodical in his...read full review
