Happy Dog Institute has the most qualified, scientifically based and personable trainers. Emma, Ashley, Heather and Paul are incredibly knowledgeable, stay up to date on all things dog training, and have excellent rapport with ALL their clients. I have done their basic obedience classes, sports classes, one on one training advice and also their chaotic canine course for my reactive dog. All of my dogs that have attended classes here now have a stronger bond with me, listen great, and my reactive pup is leaps and bounds better than he was when we began. If you are looking to build a life-long bond with your dog through training and proper handling backed by real, current science, without using pain or negative training methods, and want to see positive and life-changing results, choose Happy Dog!
Heather and all the staff at Happy Dog Institute are trained and certified in Pet CPR and 1st Aid. They are prepared in case of an emergency. The staff is personable and well versed in all things DOG. I only wish they were closer to Tacoma so I could utilize their services. I highly recommend Happy Dog Institute
Highly recommend happy dog institute. Heather is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and a excellent trainer. She has helped my husband and I so much with raising and training our labradoodle with positive reinforcement. Group classes are great and 1:1 private sessions are the best. They really care about helping their clients be the best fur parents they can be and raising happy thriving and well behaved fur babies. 🐾🐾.
