Happy Dogs - Behaviour & Training 

Michelle -  certified dog trainer

Happy Dogs was founded on the belief that all dogs deserve to be happy. We as their guardians are responsible for providing them with the best opportunity for happiness. 

This is why our training methods are designed to be enjoyable for both humans and dogs. Positive reinforcement, force-free, science-based training are exclusively used at Happy Dogs.

No aversives, corrections or applying any techniques that are aimed at causing physical or emotional discomfort or pain.

 

We focus on teaching the dog desirable behaviours through reinforcement and setting them up for success by meeting their needs using management, exercise, enrichment and breed fulfilment.

What Clients Say

“Michelle was absolutely instrumental in helping my dog with his anxious behaviour around other dogs. I feel so much more at ease with the tools she taught both me and my dog and am so happy to have called her for help. Michelle is highly educated and skilled with animal behaviour but better than that she is fun and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”
