Hi there. Our journey with Holly at Happy dawg obedience training started in Febuary of 2016. Our…read morejourney has been filled with ups and downs. We started our training and education well before we brought our puppy home. Holly has been understanding and informative and what a great teacher she is. Our family puts holly on a golden pedestal, a little over the top, to some maybe be to us, no. She will tell you she wants to create balance one dog at a time and that she does. I can sit here all day and rave till the cows come home. Training a dog comes with a ton of work and effort, Holly has shown us how to create balance with our dog Lacey. LACEY IS being trained for support work, her genuine caring personality and love for dogs has brought us here. We have got where We are with Lacey because of her dedication. Holly thank you for never giving up on us. We would never look at another trainer. This woman can not,and will not be replaced. Tanya, Matt, Jacob and Lacey Little.

From the owner: I help dogs and their owners learn how to create and strengthen bonds of trust and respect with…read moreeach other. To achieve this, I use a balanced, compassionate, common-sense approach to help change unwanted behaviors and encourage and reinforce good behavior. I believe that unwanted behaviors are the outcome of a problem, so I work with you and and your dog to first find the root cause of the issue, and then, work on changing it. Only addressing the outcome instead of the cause is like putting a small band-aid on a huge, open gash and expecting it not to bleed. From obedience basics to unwanted behaviors - e.g. leash pulling, excessive barking, jumping up, etc. - I work very closely with owners to help them build and/or restore strong, life-long bonds of mutual trust, respect, and loyalty with their dogs. And though our scheduled time together - e.g. basic obedience course - comes to an end, I am there for owners and their dogs for the rest of their dog's life.

I looked for trainers everywhere but just didn't feel it, I know that sounds wrong but when it…read morecomes to my fur baby Charlie, I am all about "vibes, or feelings" I found the best groomer in the world that way and was determined to find our trainer. I researched for months and saw Beth's site and beside her sat a beautiful Black Mini Schnauzer without a leash. WHAT?!? A A Schnauzer without a leash on? I honestly was ready to jump with both feet in. Our baby is a black mini so I knew she would get it. We met for our first class and I did it with an open mind but was hesitant because I found Brad Pattison's approach cold. So far what Beth and Jake have taught us in 2 classes has improved Charlie's behaviour significantly. We still need her and will be going to private classes and group classes for a long time to come. Plus I find it hard to think the dogs look unhappy, Charlie loves going to go to class and see his friends and never is bothered. Plus you don't pull on that leash after the first few minutes, they seem to get what you are showing them so you don't have to. Even just try a drop in to see what you think, she is great!

We had our first experience with Nancy last night. She came to our home to meet our rescue, Maggie,…read morewho is just over a year old. Maggie has some issues with jumping up on people when she is excited, not listening to us when she is focused on something else and fairly bad leash aggression. Nancy spent about 3 hours learning Maggie's behaviours and watching us interact with her. The last hour or so was hands on where she showed us different things to practice and explained very well why these tactics will work. She is extremely educated when it comes to how the dogs brain works and made us more informed about things we thought differently. I am extremely excited to continue working with her to not only make Maggie a better pup but to make us better owners.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some assistance with their pooch!
