Really useful and fun classes. Did obedience 1 and 2 and it was awesome. I’ve gotten much better at communicating with my dog about what I want her to do and I’m better at engaging her. Lots of support with Lara’s weekly follow up emails and she is always very responsive. Will be coming back for some more training classes!

I first used Happy Dog Happy Owner in 2012 when we adapted our first rescue dog. Lara has been an excellent trainer. My wife and I take our 2 doggies to agility classes and it's always a lot fun. The dogs are happy and so are we! I highly recommend Lara!

Lara the Trainer is very Observant, Smart, Insightful, and Pleasant to work with. She watches, recognizes and adjust situationally to your dog. We've recommended her classes to many friends, all of who have gotten a lot from her teachings.

Lara helped me prepare my dog to enter service dog training. She is one of the best trainers I have ever worked with.
