Happy Family Pets LLC is a certified dog training business led by Courtney Rains, offering both group classes and private training sessions. They provide services for basic obedience, puppy socialization, and tricks, as well as addressing common behavior issues such as fear, separation anxiety, aggression, and resource guarding.

The business emphasizes a personalized approach, believing that every dog has different needs and that training should be meaningful and fun. They are committed to improving the bond between owners and their dogs, tailoring training to fit individual needs and incorporating owner feedback to plan subsequent sessions.

Happy Family Pets LLC utilizes positive reinforcement ideals, patience, and praise in their training methods.
