That’s what we’re here for! Happy Pup Training offers positive reinforcement dog training classes and private dog training services in the Anacortes, North Whidbey, La Conner, and Mount Vernon areas. We also offer online video conferencing options for private sessions.
Dog Training Classes
I offer a variety of training classes at my training facility for you and your pup to learn multiple skills and behaviors. These classes will always be taught using positive, non-aversive methods (marker training) to ensure that you and your pup build a trusting and happy life-long relationship.
Private Dog Training
Private sessions are offered at my training facility, at your home (by prior agreement), in other outside locations, or via online Zoom video conferencing. I coach you and model for you so that you can effectively understand and communicate with your dog using positive reinforcement methods.

How Do I Train at Happy Pup?
I Love dogs and all of their dogginess. I provide information about dogs, how they comMUNICATe and their needs. this information helps you develop a relationship with your dog and helps them to feel safe in our human world. I use positive reinforcement training methods that include a markers & Reinforcers. Reinforcers include treats, toys, playtime, praise, and anything else your pup LOVES. These are proven training methods that build confidence and a strong relationship between you and your dog.
I do not use, and strongly advocate against using corrections, intimidation, FORCE, fear and pain causing devises such as prong or shock collars which are proven to increase anxiety and fear in dogs and to damage your relationship with your dog.
