HGL is an absolutely wonderful local dog training facility with the best staff. All instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and really enjoy working with dogs and their humans. It's compassionate training based on rewarding positive behavior rather than punishing your dog for being a dog. Special shout out to Heather who is the absolute best.

Just completed a beginner obedience class here with my husband and 7mo old rescue pup. We had a great experience overall. This was an awesome opportunity to practice training with the distractions of other people and dogs and with the support of 2 very talented trainers.\nI highly recommend Happy Go Lucky!

The trainers (Susan and Marissa) at Happy-Go-Lucky are incredible. We have a very reactive 7month old border collie that has seen massive improvements in his confidence via attending their classes. Thank you so much!

I wish Happy Go Lucky was recommended as the first puppy training I heard of! They are amazing and provide a great environment and instruction in a happy safe group setting, and even personalized coaching. Highly recommend.

I’ve taken 4 classes with my young dog at Happy Go Lucky and I’m so grateful for their guidance and instruction. The instructors are TERRIFIC and the extras that Susan taught in obedience have proven to be essential to calm, daily living with my dog. Having never trained a puppy, I was unprepared for the challenges and was floundering when we arrived. Through the classes I’ve become much more confident and my dog is thriving!
