The training sessions have been going very well, and her instructions and feedback are always clear. I can see progress every day with my puppies. I really appreciate that she steps in to help correct an error when necessary, but also takes the time to observe what you are doing first. She evaluates whether it is something that truly needs her input, something you can correct yourself, or simply a one-time mistake, which makes the learning process for me better since I am also able to catch my own mistakes and get assistance when needed. Rashelle has also been extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. What I appreciate most is her ability to truly listen, not just to what we think we want, but to what we are actually trying to achieve. I often came in with a clear idea of what I thought we needed, and she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about our ultimate goals. Through those more in-depth conversations, she was able to better understand our family's needs and find the most effective training approach, often offering alternate or better solutions that made more sense for our dogs and our lifestyle.

The training experience that my dog and I received with Alphacademy was wonderful and really helped…read moreme develop a more well rounded understanding of how to strengthen my relationship with my dog. We signed up for obedience training with Rashelle and found her very personable and knowledgeable. She was the second trainer that we tried and was a complete 180 from our first training experience, which had emphasized dominance and fear based techniques, something that really didn't work well for us. When we worked with Rashelle, I found she had a realistic approach but was also conscious of maintaining the presence of patience, kindness, and compassion from me towards my dog . She listened to my concerns and made me feel heard. My dog and I have a much better relationship now and I incorporate the concepts she's taught us into many aspects of our day to day training and living. Thanks Rashelle!

I found Happy Hound via a Google search, and I could not be happier with the results of their…read moretraining. I have just recently finished a Happy Hound training program with my 14-month-old Poodle mix with Tara Siefring of the Happy Hound, and the difference in our stubborn little girl, Jackie, is like night and day. Jackie is not an aggressive dog, but she is quite hard-headed, and like most young, confident dogs, she wants to do what she wants to do. But after our first session with Tara, Jackie was already responding, and by the third week of training, I felt comfortable enough to take Jackie into the park near my home off-leash. Of course three weeks is not the whole story, and Jackie and I have a lot more work to do, but we are on the right path. And not only is she better behaved, but maybe even more important, I have a clearer idea of what it takes to lead her to better behavior. So Jackie and I have both learned a great deal about better behavior from Tara! Tara herself is knowledgeable, dedicated, and great to work with. She'll come to your house for private training, or board your dog for more intensive work. After your dog finishes a Happy Hound program successfully, Tara offers ongoing Saturday morning group sessions for socialization and learning new techniques/tricks. She also maintains a Facebook group for her clients, and her Happy Hound website is packed with all sorts of dog information. Our training involved the use of an electronic collar, but STOP! Don't go away because of that! These are not the scary "shock collars" from years ago. Tara had me hold the receiver unit in my hand before she ever put it on Jackie, and even at a setting of 20 (out of 100), I could barely feel a buzz. And that was MUCH lower than the setting we use for Jackie. Jackie has now learned that when the collar goes on, it's time for fun, so it is effective, but it's not a threat to her. So, if you have reservations about using an electronic collar, I hope you'll re-think your position and give it a try. You won't be sorry. It should be clear by now that I highly recommend Tara Siefring and the Happy Hound for your dog training needs! You and your dog will be happier for it!

After working on some of Stieg's undesirable behaviors & teaching him some basic commands, I decided to enlist the help of a professional Trainer. After 6 months of researching & interviewing numerous Trainers, Ashley Arnold Hersel of AAA K9 Academy.com, located in Loxley, AL was my top pick. Of course I was nervous after reading horror stories about bad Trainers, but I really felt a connection with Ashley after speaking with her. She owned Malinois' herself & was knowledgeable of the breed. So off my Boi went for a 2 week Board & Train with Ashley. It was a long, hard separation for me. Well, when I arrived to pick Stieg up, I was overjoyed to see my crazy, goofy, comical, sweet, loving, playful Stieg in Great Shape with new manners to boot! Ashley worked wonders in 2 weeks. She helped me with follow-up sessions to be a better Handler. Stieg was always excited to see Ashley again. She really made a connection with my Boi. I highly recommend AAA K9 Academy & Ashley to help you & your dog have a tighter bond & a more fulfilling relationship. A trained dog makes life much easier on all. J D Brunnhoeffer

The obedience classes are great if you want to learn how to train your dog. They do not train your…read moredog, they teach you the steps needed to be successful on your own. I was happy with the Beginners Obedience class we took here. Sure you could do it on your own but the hands on approach is so much more effective, it was for me anyway. The class size was reasonable (about 8 dogs) we never lacked attention. The head trainer and at least one assistant were always available and quite helpful. Beginners obedience is just that, the basics...sit, stay, come, down, helpful leash walking tips etc. They recently put in a swimming pool which you could rent by the hour or sign up for personal training sessions and they offer agility classes which look like so much fun. I think this is a pretty cool place and while the pricing is not inexpensive it seems to be the standard rate when it comes to dog training.
