At Happy Tails Training & Pet Care, we offer a variety of services, customized to fit our client’s needs.
Dog Training
Our Mission: To strengthen bonds and build trust through positive experience.
Positive Reinforcement
Clients under our training program will learn to effectively communicate with their companions in way that are fun for both dogs and their owners!
We firmly believe in building positive associations through reward based training.
The use of prong collars, pinch collars, e-collars, choke chains, etc. will never be used while in our car.
Mastering the Basics
It is our belief that a solid foundation is the key to success. Dog will begin with mastering the basics and building on that knowledge so they can be prepared for any situation.
Basic commands include sit, stay, down, and come. During your consultation we will check your dog’s proficiency with each command to know how to best align their training.
Custom Training Plan
Every dog is different, and no two dogs learn the same. We work with the owner to build and create personalized training plans that cater to the dog’s needs and the owner’s goals.
Canine Fundamentals
Learn more than just commands. Delve deeper into the life of a canine and discover what makes dogs… Well, dogs!
Understanding our canine companions goes deeper than Sit, Down, and Stay, clients will have the opportunity to learn about dog body language, the history of dog breeds (What makes them tick? What jobs were they bred for?), and much more!

Pet Care
House Sitting
Going out of town can be stressful enough without sending your pet to some strange place they’ve never seen before.
With our house sitting service, pets will have the luxury of relaxing at home while you relax on your vacation!
The house sitting option is a 24/7 care option where we come and stay at home with your furry friends.
Drop In Visits
Don’t feel comfortable having someone stay in your home? Do your pets not need 24/7 care? Try out the Drop-In Visits option!
With Drop-In Visits, we will come by at least twice a day to check on your furry friends, ensure they have food, water, and take them out for potty breaks. During our visits, we will make sure they get walks and play time at no extra charge to you!
All pet care services include:
Check-ins each visit (Drop-Ins) or throughout the day (House Sitting)
We believe pictures are worth a thousand words and that’s why we will be sure to send plenty of your pets while under our care!
Clear and prompt communication on all matters related to your furry friends!
Meet & Greets are required for all new clients prior to booking with us. Please contact us today for a free Meet & Greet!
Dog Walking
Like people, dogs need exercise, and sometimes our busy schedules make it hard to give our companions the adventure they need. Whether they need a nice leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a long walk through the woods, we are here to help!
Walks can be catered to the needs of the dog and what the owner wishes. Walks can be as short as 30 minutes or as long as an hour!
Dog walking services are currently offered year-round, weather permitting.
