We boarded our Dane in February and he us a different puppy. One that is calmer and happier. Knowing boundaries helps him be happier and us less stressed. She offers boarding too and when we welcomed our baby a few weeks ago she made herself available to help with our pup. And helped us introduce our pup to our new born. I can't say enough good things about how much help she has been, how good her training has been and how much we absolutely love her services. And her price point is on par with her competitors and speaking to the training we received it is very well priced! You won't be disappointed.

We have had such a great experience working with Makayla at East Bay Dog Spot. The private training…read morehas been exactly what we were looking for to raise our Westie puppy to be a well mannered companion. From the very first session, Makayla demonstrated exceptional patience and professionalism. The surprising part of this experience was that we were trained to work with our dog Sachi. We were given the priceless gift of being able to help our dog be more obedient, confident, and secure in her environment. Every technique was explained thoroughly, and we always felt supported and encouraged to ask questions or express concerns. The progress we have seen in our dog over the following weeks has been remarkable. My wife and I highly recommend East Bay Dog Spot. Thank you Makayla and Kayleen!

I found Happy Hound via a Google search, and I could not be happier with the results of their…read moretraining. I have just recently finished a Happy Hound training program with my 14-month-old Poodle mix with Tara Siefring of the Happy Hound, and the difference in our stubborn little girl, Jackie, is like night and day. Jackie is not an aggressive dog, but she is quite hard-headed, and like most young, confident dogs, she wants to do what she wants to do. But after our first session with Tara, Jackie was already responding, and by the third week of training, I felt comfortable enough to take Jackie into the park near my home off-leash. Of course three weeks is not the whole story, and Jackie and I have a lot more work to do, but we are on the right path. And not only is she better behaved, but maybe even more important, I have a clearer idea of what it takes to lead her to better behavior. So Jackie and I have both learned a great deal about better behavior from Tara! Tara herself is knowledgeable, dedicated, and great to work with. She'll come to your house for private training, or board your dog for more intensive work. After your dog finishes a Happy Hound program successfully, Tara offers ongoing Saturday morning group sessions for socialization and learning new techniques/tricks. She also maintains a Facebook group for her clients, and her Happy Hound website is packed with all sorts of dog information. Our training involved the use of an electronic collar, but STOP! Don't go away because of that! These are not the scary "shock collars" from years ago. Tara had me hold the receiver unit in my hand before she ever put it on Jackie, and even at a setting of 20 (out of 100), I could barely feel a buzz. And that was MUCH lower than the setting we use for Jackie. Jackie has now learned that when the collar goes on, it's time for fun, so it is effective, but it's not a threat to her. So, if you have reservations about using an electronic collar, I hope you'll re-think your position and give it a try. You won't be sorry. It should be clear by now that I highly recommend Tara Siefring and the Happy Hound for your dog training needs! You and your dog will be happier for it!

Daniel was a life saver when it came to our sweet girl Piper! We rescued Piper in November of 2025…read more As she became more comfortable and adjusted in our house, she became more territorial. We tried different training techniques, research, and after months of nothing truly addressing the aggressive - territorial behavior, we knew we needed help. She was scaring people when they would come into our home. Putting her in another room (even in her kennel which is her safe space) made her become destructive and worsened her anxiety. Lorenzo's training style is much more than just obedience. It is about training your dog to have confidence in you and to respect you as the leader. Daniel educated us about what was driving Piper's behavior, what her body language means and what she is communicating when she behaves a certain way. He was incredibly patient and thorough with his teaching to my husband and me. He explained everything to us and ensured we were comfortable and understanding of the training techniques. We saw improvement in Piper in just one session. We had three more sessions with Daniel before she boarded with him. Piper now is confident instead of anxious, listens readily, and is substantially less anxious/aggressive when people come into the house and they get to see how loving our Piper girl is. We have one more session with Daniel and we have already seen such a drastic and incredible improvement! The hardest part of the training is training ourselves to be consistent. Daniel truly made an incredible difference for her and taught us skills that will help keep Piper and others safe. Daniel has a deep passion and love for dogs, and we are so glad we worked with him!

I was happy with the Beginners Obedience class we took here. Sure you could do it on your own but the hands on approach is so much more effective, it was for me anyway. The class size was reasonable (about 8 dogs) we never lacked attention. The head trainer and at least one assistant were always available and quite helpful. Beginners obedience is just that, the basics...sit, stay, come, down, helpful leash walking tips etc. They recently put in a swimming pool which you could rent by the hour or sign up for personal training sessions and they offer agility classes which look like so much fun. I think this is a pretty cool place and while the pricing is not inexpensive it seems to be the standard rate when it comes to dog training.
