TESTIMONIALS
Fantastic puppy classes, I cannot recommended highly enough. So informative, well planned and enjoyable. We will be signing up to more classes as soon as we can. Thank you Emma and team!
Very caring, friendly, patient & knowledgeable staff. Answered all our questions, gave some good ideas to help with individual queries & situations. Lovely people. We'd recommend them & so would our puppy!
Amazing dog training school, great for puppy classes and now at the workshops! 10/10 recommended to all friends and family with dogs!!
Friendly, experienced, helpful staff and engaging classes. We feel safe in their hands in the puppy class as we navigate life with a young puppy and look forward to taking future courses.
We have just complete the Overfriendly Dogs course and it was exactly what we all needed. Each session extends the previous weeks learning in just the right way. The exercises are clearly explained and easy to transfer into training back at home. Both trainers are friendly, patient, encouraging and easy to talk to. All of our questions about issues at home were answered in detail and the advice given has proved to be very successful and we are seeing very positive improvements. . We would strongly recommend Happy Dogs Training School.

We have so much fun at Happy Dogs at Elmtree! . We regularly do Agility and have also tried Scent and Tracking, Rally, Hoopers and Parkour as well as Emma's special obstacle courses and rainbow runs. The small classes mean that even a crazy hyperactive terrier gets tired!!! Very safe secure facilities, lots of colourful fun equipment and very friendly clear teaching. Regular updates on future courses and an easy to use booking system. Looking forward to more fun and games this weekend!!! Thank you Emma and team.
