Unleash Your Dog’s Full Potential with Happy Paws Dog Training!
Is your furry friend bouncing off the walls, ignoring commands, or struggling with bad habits? Fear not, dog lovers! Our professional training services are here to save the day (and your patience)!
Why Training is Essential?
Confidence & Freedom: A well-trained dog can safely enjoy off-leash adventures, family outings, and social time with other pups—without stress!
Mental & Physical Stimulation: Training isn’t just about commands; it keeps your pup engaged, challenged, and happy. A well-exercised mind means better behavior!
Better Behavior = Stronger Bond: Teaching your dog to listen builds trust, strengthens your relationship, and makes everyday life more enjoyable for both of you.
Peace of Mind at Home: No more jumping, excessive barking, or leash pulling—just a well-mannered, happy dog who knows how to behave.
Training Tailored to Your Pup: Every dog is different, which is why we create custom training plans based on your dog’s needs, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Fun, Reward-Based Learning: Our balanced training approach ensures your pup enjoys the process while learning essential skills. Because training should be fun for both of you!

What is included with my dog training service?
At Happy Paws Total Pet Center, our training isn't just about teaching commands — it's about building a lifelong bond between you and your dog.
When you sign up for training with us, you’re getting so much more than a session — you’re getting a full support system for success!
Customized Training Plans – Every dog is unique! We create a personalized training plan based on your dog’s needs, temperament, and your specific goals. From basic obedience to leash manners and impulse control, we tailor every session to fit your pet’s journey.
Positive, Balanced Approach – We use a positive-first, balanced training method focused on building confidence, respect, and clear communication. Our sessions are encouraging, structured, and designed to make learning fun — for both you and your dog!
Owner Coaching and Guidance – Training isn’t just for the dog — it’s for you, too! We work closely with owners during each session to teach you exactly how to communicate, reinforce behaviors, and build leadership skills at home. When owners are trained alongside their dogs, success comes faster and lasts longer.
Real-World Practice – We don’t just train in a sterile classroom! Our sessions include real-world distractions and practical setups to prepare your dog for everyday success — walks, guests, car rides, and more. Oftentimes we will come to your house!
Ongoing Support Between Sessions - Have a question pop up between lessons? We’re just a text away! We believe in supporting you throughout the process, not just during scheduled sessions.
Graduation and Beyond – Once your dog finishes a training program, we celebrate progress and offer continued support through additional practice options, advanced training, and client loyalty perks.
