Happy Dog Happy Owner is a San Diego based dog training company. Their mission is to ensure that you and your dog achieve your training goals. Whether your goals are related to basic manners, dog sports, obedience, or severe behavior issues they have the expertise to help. They offer a variety of group classes and private training options, from agility to obedience to water sports and everything in between.

It is our goal to create happy, healthy, rewarding relationships between dogs and their owners. We offer group classes as well as private one-on-one training sessions that address obedience as well as behavioral issues. Through our use of positive reinforcement methods, we work with you to train your dog in all obedience levels. We use behavioral adjustment training and counter conditioning to ease fear and anxiety related issues as well.

Sandy Pawz Dog House offers classes from puppy socialization all the way up to advanced obedience. Group classes and individualized training are both available. If you’d like to learn about pet CPR, those classes are also available. They not only train the dog, they teach you how to get the most from the training the dog has received. In the group classes you train your dog with their guidance. Classes are held at their facility where the dogs (and people) enjoy a thickly rubber padded sealed flooring material for safety, comfort and traction.

Our goal in training is to teach your dog to trust us and when that’s done, to follow our voice command. In the ‘trust phase’ of training the dog learns that we are fair but firm. Your dog sees that we treat it with respect and expects respect in return. The dog learns above all that we are consistent and when we ask him or her to do something they must do it.
