Dawna the trainer is very knowledgeable and experienced with the dogs behavior. I have enjoyed the classes and learned a lot about my pup. I will be continuing on to the next levels, until I have taken all classes offered. I highly recommend this training for your canine.

Dawna and her staff are amazing! we have a very skittish and nervous puppy who has totally turned over a new leaf with strangers and other dogs. They are so great our puppy goes to doggy daycare 3 days a week to help with socialization and it has been amazing. Highly recommend for both!

My 12yr old son and I brought in our 11month German shepherd/Husky, Marathon for training just before the covid19 problem.. First realize the training is actually for us the owners. Dawna teaches the class with enthusiasm and entertaining energy. She will give you the knowledge and first hand experience to train your dog. Bottom line…if you practice what she teaches you will have well trained dog. ?

We have an enthusiastic Golden Retriever puppy who is quickly becoming quite the gentleman, thanks to Dawna. She is truly training not only Finn, but even more the two of us. Even with various dog breeds, sizes and personalities, Dawna is competent and effective in guiding behavior, both in the dogs and their parents! She demonstrates every training technique multiple times and gives us opportunity to practice, with coaching. The weekly homework training sheets are magical! If we do our homework as prescribed, Finn is amazing! We’re fully aware that his success completely depends on our follow-through. We’ve graduated from Puppy Kindergarten and are moving on to the Graduate class with great expectations. We plan to continue classes until Finn is a delight in every setting. We highly recommend Happy Tails to You!

We love Dawna and her training classes. These classes are affordable compared to others, and super informative. I was really nervous to take my almost 1 year old, 100 lb pitbull anywhere, due to his size, strength and stubborn personality, but it only took 1 and a half classes to settle him. We take King to Canine Corral for boarding, so thought this would be a comfortable. We were right. He knows and loves the staff, and so do we! It’s well worth the time and investment, and I highly recommend it. I only wish we took him sooner!

We recently welcomed a rescue tripod into our home – our first dog! She’s anxious and her manners and social skills are limited due to her years as a street dog, so she needs some guidance to learn how to Dog. The Happy Tails beginner class was a terrific way for her to get some exposure to other dogs, as well as for us to learn how to relate to our newest family member. Dawna has a great approach: kind, understanding, and non-intimidating, but firm enough so the dogs understand what we want and aspire to make us happy. Our girl’s comfort levels in class improved dramatically from the first day to the last, and she’s got a solid 50 yard off-leash recall now too. We’d recommend Happy Tails to anyone, and have already referred friends with a new shy puppy for classes here as well. Thanks!
