A Happy Pet Tail

“Happy Training! Play with your Dog!” Rich and Suzana’s hard work and dedication to you as their clients is unmatched from my experiences with various other places. Not only did I learn how to train a dog properly, I learned how to handle two dogs with two separate learning methods. I came in with my cousin and her two dogs, my cousin has difficulty hearing so I was there as a note taker and a second handler for their sessions from start to end. One dog was more prey driven and her other dog was more food oriented, learning two different methods was mind blowing at first but once you retain the information and start seeing the small details, it’s those small steps that set you and your dog up for success.

I have had nothing but great experiences with Akina K9 and Ahappypettail. I took my energetic and feisty Jack Russell Terrier and wanted to be able to find a path for her energy and turn it into a positive outlet through training. Rich is not only very knowledgable about dog psychology and training techniques, he also is a natural teacher and genuinely cares about you and your dog's progress. He was able to explain the training techniques and theory behind them in an easy to understand way. Private classes are an excellent place to learn and group classes are very well organized and a great place to continue to work on training. Both me and my dog went through such a transformation during our time at Akina K9. Not only does Akina K9 provide a great space for your dog training needs, Ahappypettail also provides excellent board and train services.

Want to build a strong bond and relationship with your dog and learn more about dog training/psychology/behavior? Then Akina K9 and a Happypettail is the place for you. I previously had training with my cockpoo and wanted to learn more and take it to the next level and taking him to Akina K9 was the best choice I made. Rich is an extremely knowledgable, explains clearly, works with you on your goals, and really cares about your dog! I enjoyed learning so much in private sessions, had fun in group classes with my dog, and did a board and train when I went on vacation. On vacation I knew my dogs were well cared for and trained thanks to Rich and the Akina K9 Team. PLEASE if your dog has any behavior issues, is reactive, want to build the next level relationship with your dog and most importantly if you want to understand and enrich your dogs life, Akina K9/ahappypettail is the TOP NOTCH PLACE to be!!
