The Happier Dog – A Happier You

I worked with Kathleen on remote sessions only.  Before I met her I was worried I would never get my dog potty trained. She has been a life saver, wonderful to work with. I would have been lost without her.

Kathleen did an amazing job of working with our reactive rescue, Tex. There aren’t many trainers who I think have the knowledge, skills, and empathy to work with dogs like Tex

Julie N.

Kathleen was able to offer good practices that will be easily incorporated in daily routines. She is very patient, loving and kind

Training Solutions for Your Dogs Unwanted Behavior

The Happier Dog utilizes an aversive free, science based methodology. We offer training and behavior modification in a fun and motivating environment. “Special leadership”, dominance theories, nor magical potions are needed – just science and skill. We use methods founded in science and proven in practice to motivate the pet.

At The Happier Dog, training and communications are based on respect for both the human and animal. Fear and discomfort will not teach a dog new skills, but it can impart distrust and aggression. These methods should never be utilized in training. We use force free methods that everyone can feel good about. We operate on what science supports. Behavior modification and learning is the most effective when it occurs in a fun and enjoyable environment for all participants. We are committed to supporting you throughout the process, from start to finish, so that you achieve the results you want.
