HAPPY K9 TRAINING

​​​​​​​​​​​WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME

​

Cooperative training for a happy dog and happier human! 

​

Welcome!

Happy K9 Training offers humane and cooperative methods allowing the animal choice and ability to opt into training.

​

Our goal is to provide compassionate and quality professional care.

We do not employ the use of e-collars, prong collars or choke chains during our services.​​​

​

We have 26 years of professional experience working with client and foster dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. ​

​

*We are currently referring out any separation anxiety, aggression or reactivity cases to other qualified and certified, force free trainers, including a recommendation to contact Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Kelly Moffat at VCA Mesa Animal Hospital.

​

Dr. Maggie O'Brian is another Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist who recently launched

Virtual Veterinary Behavior Medicine as a way for clients to have access to specialty level care.

*** The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB), The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, along with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and The Pet Professional Guild all strongly caution against the use of pain and fear in dog training and behavior modification.

Based on current scientific evidence, AVSAB recommends that only reward-based training methods are used for all dog training, including the treatment of behavior problems.
