What others are saying:

I am sending you my testimonial for your wonderful work with Ruby. Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and helpfulness! I began working with Elaine to control my dog’s (Ruby) aggression around unknown dogs. Immediately upon meeting Elaine, she made me feel at ease and addressed my concerns with compassion.  Elaine suggested a particular leash/harness after listening to Ruby’s issues of aggression and her pulling while walking. I purchased the harness and Ruby instantly improved. Elaine used positive reinforcement techniques to help me shape Ruby’s behavior. Encouraging the traits that I wanted to see and replacing the undesirable behaviors with new ones. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone facing dog challenges. She has a wonderful personality and this is conveyed through her training methods and enthusiasm. Before working with Elaine, I often thought that my dog was problematic. Now, I look at Ruby in a new light. She’s a great dog who is a work in progress, just like me. For that, I am eternally grateful.   AC – Land O Lakes, FL

“Buster  placed 9th in open division jumping 14.8 at the Splash Dogs Competition and one week later placed 1st in senior division at the Tampa Pet Expo Ultimate Air Dogs jumping 17.3… and he is a Canine Good Citizen. Buster brings much laughter and joy to our family and all of the people he touches.. Thank you Elaine & Happy Urban Dog for getting us to this point your training and support over the past 8 months has brought us to this point”. SG- Tampa, FL

 

Our positive training philosophy deters future unwanted behavior problems and creates happy well-balanced dogs.

Happy Urban Dog focuses on positive training methods, no force or coercive methods are used.  Positive training uses rewards (food, toys, praise) to strengthen good behavior.

Whether you have a dog or puppy that’s driving you crazy or you just want to improve their manners, positive dog training can bring out the best in your companion and make your life and your dog’s life more enjoyable and rewarding.

Resigning to the cliche of “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” just traps you into thinking that things cannot get better.  It has been proven time and time again that regardless of the age of the pet, a positive approach to training can usually result in rewarding outcomes.  Happy Urban Dog will work with you and your dog using simple and rewarding positive training techniques to bring about the goals that you are hoping for.
