Happy Hound Pet Services

At Happy Pets, Happy People, we understand that your dog's behavior impacts your entire family. That's why we're here to help you achieve your goals and give you the life you want with your dog. Our scientific methods facilitate communication between you and your canine companion, teaching them to follow rules and behave in a calm manner. We offer a range of programs including puppy training, adolescent training, adult training, and behavior consultation.

Our certified professional dog trainer, Dawn Sims, has been training dogs since 1997, promoting force-free, science-based training methods. She is a graduate of Animal Behavior College and holds certifications from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), the Pet Professionals Guild, and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. Dawn's extensive experience and knowledge have helped numerous dogs overcome behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression.

Imagine a dog who listens to you, plays with his own toys, and is a pleasure to be around. This dog can be a reality. Our training can teach your dog to sit politely to greet you and your guests, chew on his own toys instead of your furniture, walk nicely on a leash everywhere you go, and behave calmly even in stressful environments. If you're tired of dealing with problem behaviors and want a happier, more well-behaved dog, we can help. Contact us today to schedule a time for us to meet and discuss how we can help you achieve your goals.
