About the Trainer

Happy Dog Happy Owner is a San Diego based dog training company dedicated to helping owners and their dogs achieve their training goals, whether for basic manners, dog sports, obedience, or severe behavior issues. They measure their success by the client’s success and aim to ensure objectives are accomplished.

They offer a variety of dog training services including Agility, Canine Good Citizen, Obedience, Scent Work, Private Training, and Board & Train. Additionally, they provide Pet Supplies and Photos.

A key aspect of their classes is teaching owners how to communicate with and train their dogs. Group class sizes are limited to ensure ample individual attention. They exclusively use positive reinforcement training techniques, believing this approach makes the training experience productive and fun, fostering trust and a strong relationship with pets.

They address common undesired behaviors such as jumping, barking, digging, begging, and chewing. They also handle complex behavior challenges like fear, aggression, and separation anxiety, developing customized treatment plans based on positive reinforcement, desensitization, and counter-conditioning techniques.
