Dogs are not computers; you cannot program them and call it a day.
With a balanced approach to training, we create well-behaved, reliable fur-companions.
The majority of dog training fails because the owners don't have the time, or simply don't want to put in the work.
A dog requires timing, motivation and consistency, in order to be reliable. That last bit, "consistency", is the major failing point. Did you know a dog needs 3 weeks of consistent training for it to move from their short to long-term memory?
We train our fur-students using a balanced approach to training developed by Top Tier K9, paired with the utmost consistency by our TTK9 Certified Pet Trainer, Valerie Diaz.
Treated with care, in a family home environment
Balanced approach to pet training, with consistency!
Let's start with a meet & greet!
Don't just take our word for it. Hear it from our satisfied pet clients!

"Valerie was very knowledgeable and helpful. We sent our pitbull mix there for the 3-week training due to reactivity issues. We picked him up after 3 weeks and he was much better behaved and learned a lot of things from Valerie. We were very pleased with his training. He was much better behaved during our walks. Valerie took her time with explaining the training. Highly recommend Woof Happens!"

"We've owned dogs for 30 years and this is the first time we've hired a trainer. We adopted a 6mo old Great Pyrenees and I knew with her herding instincts, independent attitude and size that we needed little extra help to make sure that she grows into a well behaved family member. We hired Valerie for training and it's made such a difference in just 3 weeks. Our dog is much calmer on walks, is learning boundaries, and we understand what we need to do to help her moving forward. Valerie is also a fantastic person, a real pleasure to get to know her. I highly recommend Valerie for training and pet sitting."

Desi
"I normally don’t write reviews but i was so impressed with Ms. Valerie. We have a 10mo old Goldendoodle named Desi. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation for training and boarding. Our main concern was his jumping on guests and his reactive behavior to other dogs. After talking to Miss Valerie and seeing how she would correct his behavior we knew our Desi was going to be in great hands. During his time with her she would send pics/videos and keep us updated on his progress. Towards the end of his three week stay she reached out to let us know she wanted to extend his stay by a few days as she had been sick and wanted to make up the time. That speaks volumes for her work ethic! She has provided amazing tips and has helped me become a better dog guardian. We can see the change in our puppy. 🐾"
