Our Vision:

“ To encourage a peaceful partnership with our pets and promote harmony in the home”

Force Free.

No pain, fear, intimidation, or coercion

No e-collars, vibration collars, choke/training collars, prong collars, shake cans, or air horns.

 

Big Picture.

Many struggles with our pets are not
"training" issues at all!

Often, adjusting an animals wellness plan and environment can improve undesired behaviors.  

 
 

Evolving.

Science evolves, just like our education!

Happy Leashes is proud to pursue continuing education from top professionals and experts in the fields of animal behavior and training.

 
 
 

Super Fun.

Happy Leashes uses game-based learning. Games make complex or confusing concepts easier to understand.

Research suggests play increases the rate of learning.

Most importantly, game-based learning builds a trusting bond with your companion!

Our 3-Step Process

  1. Initial Consultation

    -Jump into the history of your pet!

    -Identify patterns that lead to undesirable behaviors.

    -Apply management solutions to put a band aid on problem behaviors while we work through them.

    -Develop our goals for training

  2. Initial Coaching Session

    -Discover what motivates and enriches your pet!

    -Learn to apply practical training knowledge to everyday situations.

    -Continue the progress on your own through additional Private Coaching

  3. Practice, patience, and consistency.

    -Teach your pup helpful new cues and behaviors while playing fun and engaging games.

    Enjoy a lifetime relationship built on trust and effective communication!
