Certified Dog Trainers in Winchester, Virginia

Whether your dog needs to learn a few basic cues or has serious behavior issues, we can help. Happy Hound Training's private, in-home lessons offer customized plans tailored to meet your goals. We are force-free trainers, so we use rewards (praise, affection, toys, treats, etc.) to motivate your dog to succeed. Using rewards (treats, play, affection, etc.) to motivate dogs to learn stimulates their thinking, improves your relationship with them, creates lasting results and best of all, makes training fun! Dogs learn better when they use their noggins to figure out how to earn rewards rather than doing the minimum to avoid punishment.

I currently offer basic obedience in dog owner’s homes. Addressing problem behaviors and teaching basic commands to create a happy home environment for all household members is my goal. Personal lessons in the dog’s territory are given one hour at a time for as long as necessary. I will gladly work with puppies or adult dogs.
