About The Happy Dog Method

What they do

The Happy Dog Method publishes six named programs on its own site rather than a generic service list: basic obedience and manners training, confidence training, reactivity therapy, hiking help, a puppy program and an enrichment class built around toys, treats and tricks. The hiking program is unusual in this metro – most trainers here sell indoor or in-home work, not outdoor handling.

The approach

The business's own position is that pet training is not just about the pet: it says the most integral part of the process is the owner, so plans are built to fit the owner's lifestyle and needs, and the programs are described as practical and flexible.

What the services page covers

The services page describes the most popular option as the one that addresses a wide range of different challenges and behaviors, and says personalized plans can cover staying, door manners, leash manners and problems that show up in the house, at the park or around other animals.

Before you book

Ask who will train your dog, what the programs cost and where sessions take place.
