Jingle Bell was an evil little goober who likes to attack my two other dogs, and she needed some…read moreserious intervention after being rescued. We tried to train her ourselves for a couple of months but we eventually gave up and enrolled her at Happy Hounds. Pat, the trainer/owner, charges reasonable fees and has 35 years of experience in positive reinforcement training. I learned very quickly that we were doing everything wrong and it kept making Jingle even more anxious. After four sessions, Jingle is a lot more focused, eager to please, and I haven't called her evil in a month! Pat doesn't have the crazy social media presence that other dog trainers have (Happy Hounds has a Facebook page and a no-frills website) but I love it because I feel like her main focus is just to help us train our dogs. She loves what she does and it shows. Side note: I love how much she loves rescue dogs too! (Although to be clear, she loves dogs of all kinds!)

We used Pat at Happy Hounds for training for our Pit Bull back in 2010. We did the "Board and…read moreTrain" program which at that time included a 6 week 1x a week group class. After completing that we enrolled our dog in the next level of training. Pat uses positive reinforcement clicker training. It's a lot of work as an owner, but so worth the investment (time and $). We have such a well behaved pup!

After years of having dogs--including a spirited bull terrier--we thought we were ready for the…read morechaos of two new puppies. Turns out, we were in for a wild ride! It quickly became clear we needed expert guidance, and we're so glad we took a leap of faith with Heidi and Complete K9 Training. I truly can't recommend them enough. Heidi's approach gave our whole family the tools and confidence to handle these adorable bundles of energy and stubbornness. Our girls now know all their commands, and we reinforce them with just 10 minutes of daily practice. The transformation has been incredible--and we feel so much more equipped to raise well-behaved, happy pups.

We've had a great experience working with Mr. Sam! Our dog has always been full of energy and…read morereactive--especially when someone comes to the door. He would bark, lunge, or jump if people knocked or even walked by, and I had kept him in one-on-one play at daycare because I wasn't fully confident in his interactions with other dogs. But after just the first session with Mr. Sam, we saw a noticeable difference. He not only helped our dog become calmer and more manageable at the door, but also gave us the tools and knowledge we needed to work through the behavior. By the second session, Mr. Sam had our dog calmly off-leash and playing with other dogs--including a puppy!--in a way I never imagined possible. He really understands dog behavior and is incredibly skilled at guiding both dogs and their humans through the process. Much of the progress is also specifically about me learning to manage my own nervousness due to his previous behavior and history - and trust the process, and Mr. Sam is great at walking you through that. If you're willing to follow his guidance and put in the effort, you'll absolutely notice a big improvement. I now feel more hopeful and empowered, and I'm already seeing a change in our dog's behavior both at the door and even in the car (another place he tends to go crazy). Looking forward to the continued progress--we're so thankful for his help!

My boyfriend and I recently adopted a toy poodle from a rescue less than a month ago and we were…read morehaving trouble with him adapting to his new environment. He didn't have the best relationship with my boyfriend at first, he was scared of him and wouldn't let him hold him, but after we had Sam come in for a consultation, it seemed like that all changed. We are going to continue to work with our dog with the tools that Sam gave us but even after one consultation, we saw immediate results. This was an eye opening experience for the correct way to train a dog. If you are even considering to get a dog trainer, go to Sam!

She doesn't just use one method to teach, she will figure out what is best for your dog and go from there! Please use Sierra for all of the services she offers.. it will be worth the money I promise! Our experience: We adopted Sunny from the West Valley Humane Society back in January. For months we tried various different training programs. We tried online training and in person private classes and nothing really seemed to work for him. He had a ton of anxiety, was not confident, was reactive and aggressive towards all dogs but specifically small ones, did not know boundaries, etc. We really had our hands full with our Sunny boy but he needed someone that was going to be patient with him and boy was Sierra just that! We purchased Sierra's board and train class (2 weeks) and Sierra kept our boy an ADDITIONAL 2 weeks because he was having a hard time focusing and getting comfortable. Not only that, her training was a third of the price that we were going to pay for a board and train at another local place. She really did what was the best for him. Like I said before, Sunny was a lot of work and Sierra went above and beyond in every way to help our boy. She first came over for a consult to see what we were wanting to get out of her services and how we were already doing things and offered assistance with that. At the time that Sunny was with Sierra he learned: -how to walk on a leash (before he would pull your arm off) -recall -"place" -crate training -riding in the car -listening to commands -gained confidence -how to interact with dogs -& so much more! Sierra was able to help with everything we mentioned to her in the initial meeting and more! Not only that but Sunny really loves her and her family. We feel completely comfortable leaving our boy with Sierra because we know he is in good hands. Sierra really gave us our life back and we live such an enjoyable life now WITH Sunny. We feel comfortable leaving him at home when needed and taking him to parks. We are so happy we found her!!!! Please use her!!!
