Clients reviews about Happy-k9

I recently worked with Tony for my dog, Bonnie and Nova I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! From the start, Tony was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, both with me and my dogs. He took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and tailored the training sessions accordingly. Tony's techniques were effective, positive, and humane, which made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I saw significant improvements in nova ]'s behavior, especially in obedience, leash training, socialization. What I appreciated most was how Tony also empowered me to continue the training at home with clear instructions and follow-up support. It’s evident that Tony genuinely cares about dogs and their owners. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dog trainer. Thank you for making such a positive difference in our lives! --- ~ Silvia R

Tony was very helpful in time of need. Both of my dogs responded very well to him. His experience, and knowledge about dog behavior is exceptional, able to evaluate bad habits and resolve issues. He makes it easy for customers with his quick and easy pick-up and drop-off services. His daily feedbacks and videos of progress and status the dogs were a delight, always making sure the care of your dogs and mind are at ease. I would recommend Tony for any dog related issues you may be having, I'm sure he will be able to accommodate, and help support whichever needs you may be having. ~ David O

We visited the Anaheim Marriot Suite and found out that they didn't allow dogs to stay in the hotel alone without a human custody at all times. Luckily, Happy-K9 Academy saved the dates. They not only provided boarding, but also trained our dog not to pull so much. We received videos of her training sessions every day, sometimes alone, sometimes with another dog, or even a robot dog! They had a free pick-up and drop-off service, so it was very convenient for us. The only drawback was that our dog smelled more like being licked by other dogs than before. ~ Jackie P

Tony was super great. I found Tony on google search and read the reviews and felt that he was the right person to have our dog Nala boarded for a couple of days. He is such a great guy with a true love and commitment for caring for Nala. He even walked and trained Nala to sit and obey. What a treat and send me videos of her everyday. Thank you so much Tony for taking good care of Nala. I will definitely recommend you to whoever needs their furry friends to be boarded. You're awesome and wish you the best in what you do. Our furry friends and love-ones are safe with you. Sally ~ Sally H

Tony is a hands-down great trainer and truly cares for the dogs he trains. Dodger was a menace to society before training with Tony and I couldn’t get a handle on him in public. After his month board and train he is like a new dog! Was able to go to the beach and walk with him and I feel like I have my life back. Tony also really cares and if you ever need anything after your dog’s time with him He is super communicative. Would recommend to everyone! ~ Niklas K

Tony Sit is amazing with our mini Aussie, Bingo! We have been fortunate to have him train our dog for 3 separate occasions now. He never disappoints. Not only does he pick up our pet at a time that is convenient for us, but he also drops her off in the same manner. Truly appreciate this accommodation. We can tell that Tony is passionate about his work and the dogs truly respect him. He sends daily video updates and answers any and all of our questions. I love that he responds quickly via text and is accessible on multiple social media platforms as well. He always takes his time at every meeting to give us a report and answers any further questions that we may have (ie upon pickup and return of our pet). Bingo always comes back happy and listens well to commands. We are impressed by how confident and skilled Tony is with handling dogs, especially since our Aussie was at first very aggressive to having visitors outside of our family. I can’t recommend Tony enough! Tony and his HappyK9 exceeds our expectations. We will continue to call on him for all our dog training needs. Book him now! ~ Stephannie G

I have never boarded my dogs for training before, so of course I was nervous that they’d be ok during their stay and if they’d respond to Tom correctly. I was quickly rest assured once I received daily footage of their interactions. I was able to see my pups progress and I could see that they were comfortable being trained. Even my stubborn frenchie did great. Tom is the best! I hope to send them for more training in the future. ~ Megan R

My Cavilier stayed with Tony for 3 weeks for boarding training. Before training my dog was not walkable, driven to jump on every human, and not house trained. My dog now goes outside, is much better about people, is much better behaved on walks, and is able to walk with a loose leash. My dog was happy to see Tony again and had positive feelings about him. I would highly recommend Tony as a trainer. ~ Meghan W

I am very happy with the training my dog, Roxy, got at HAPPY-K9. Roxy proved to be difficult for me to train due to her inattention and high curiosity. After a few weeks at HAPPY-K9, she can now walk on leash, play fetch, sit, stay, come on command, and more! Every week day I received a video of her progress. I recommend HAPPY K-9 to anyone wanting their dog trained. In addition, HAPPY-K9 also boards dogs and I will do so in the future. ~ rebecca c

Tony has been amazing with our Mal Zion. Tony has trained / boarded Zion three different times and took the time to reach us how to continue working with him. Zion is such a happy dog now. My son and daughter in law came to visit us with their two dogs this week. We called Tony to help with introductions and he helped us and the dogs get comfortable with each other. I would highly recommend Tony for any training or boarding needs. ~ Sean K

Tony did a great job helping our dogs get acquainted with my in-laws' dog. The training was customized and effective, leading to a smooth introduction and improved interactions between the dogs. His expertise and patience made the whole process stress-free and successful. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Tony to anyone in need of a skilled dog trainer! ~ Rylee K

Tony is an awesome trainer. He took our dogs through his training program while helping us to be successful when they came home. We received nightly video showing us their progress. These video will reinforce the skills we need to continue an at home program. As a disabled person I’m now able to take each dog on a daily walk using my walker. Thank you Tony! ~ Patricia T

Wonderful experience in Happy K9! Their training really helped my dog solve behavioral problems. My dog used to urinate and pounce on people. Now these problems have been completely solved. Super friendly staff and excellent results. If your dog needs a little help with etiquette, I definitely recommend it! ~ 郭亿

Highly recommended Happy K9 Academy. Tony is an amazing, very knowledgeable and caring trainer. I boarded Jordan, my one year old havanese mix for 3 weeks to help with Jordan’s barking. I hesitated taken him on long, or just walks in general because I knew he would bark at every dog he saw. But got great results in just a few weeks. He coached and shared with me few recommendations…so now both Jordan and I are able to be more relaxed, confident making our walks more enjoyable. Tony always stayed in touch and sent frequent videos of Jordan in training while being boarded. He always got back to me right away and even when Jordan was back at home I was always able to reach out to Tony with any questions he would respond almost immediately. And if I ever had a concern he would come to my house to observe Jordan himself. He understands every pet owners household is different, so it really helps to have a trainer who is caring but very realistic. Also because Jordan loves to be with Tony, he is the perfect person when I need to board my dog!! Your dog won’t just be cooped up in a cage like other places … they will get plenty of exercise since they are taken out to parks often! BONUS!! Thanks so much Tony! ~ judy h

happy-k9 has been instrumental in the support of my animals training and boarding needs. Particularly around Sam's aggression and guarding. I highly recommend happy-k9 for dog training. Sam is always super excited to see them! Thanks for everything happy-k9! The daily YouTube videos offer great insights into the training of our animals I love it! ~ Michael A

Tony helped us to train our Momo. She was crazy girl, and barked to everyone and every dog she met on street, After 3 weeks training, she is nice to everyone and every dog. We are so happy that we found Tony and Happy-K9. I highly recommend him if you need help. ~ Fiona L

I used Happy-K9 Academy to train my German Shepherd Jasper. Tony did a great job working with her. Jasper has come home a new dog and is really listing and following the obedience training on and off a leash. I will definitely use Happy-K9 Academy again for any future training needed ~ Natalie M
