Positive Reinforcement Training

Positive reinforcement training for dogs and their people...

The mission at Happy Dog is to create a positive experience for both dog and owner – to make training fun, interesting and effective.  Understanding how dogs think and learn will help you clearly communicate with your dog in a calm, relaxed manner.   With just a little patience, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll start to see results.  Every time you interact with your dog is a training opportunity.  I'll show you how to incorporate training into your everyday activities with your dog - because ongoing practice is important for a lifetime of good behavior.  And clear communication is the key to having a great relationship with your dog.

 

And yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!  It’s never too late to improve your relationship with your dog; in fact, it’s easier than you think to create a bonding experience with your dog based on mutual trust and respect.

 

Happy Dog offers private, in-home behavior training for puppies and dogs of all ages and sizes.  Group classes are available and include Puppy Kindergarten through Intermediate Obedience.  Puppies can start training/kindergarten as early as 12 weeks old.

Your New Puppy

Early and extensive socialization will help your puppy become a relaxed, resilient and confident dog.  Proper socialization (positive vs. neutral) is the single most important thing you can do to prevent behavior problems as your dog gets older.  Introduce your new puppy to lots and lots of new and different people, places, things, noises and animals in a safe, controlled way.

Housetraining your new puppy is probably the most challenging issue you’ll face.  It’s important to be clear and consistent at all times, and not allow your pup to make mistakes in the first place.  Crate training greatly facilitates this effort.  An in-home training session can help you avoid common mistakes and ensure that you can help your puppy become secure and successful.
