***** was able to help train our family and our dog in a very professional manner. Comes with lots of exeprience and uses the latest clinical/ research based information to meet the needs of the client. ***** also built a strong relationship with our dog which showed his compassion in his career. Highly recommend.

Thank you ***** for your review. It was a pleasure to work with you guys and to watch the changes occur in *****, as his anxieties, fear, and aggression dissipated to the point of him being able to go to the dog park, and actually be able to initiate friendly play with other dogs!

I can't say enough good things about ******* Happy Dog Training! Our experience with ***** has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we reached out for help with our new puppy, ******, we felt supported and understood. ***** not only helped train ****** but also provided us, as owners, with invaluable tips and techniques to ensure a harmonious relationship with her.******* approach is both professional and compassionate. He took the time to understand ******'s unique personality and tailored the training sessions to meet her specific needs. The positive reinforcement techniques he employs made a huge difference, and we noticed significant improvements in ******'s behavior almost immediately.If you're looking for top-notch dog training services, I highly recommend Howie's Happy Hounds. ***** is a true professional who genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs he works with. We are incredibly grateful for his help and couldn't be happier with the results!Review from Jessica M

***** is the first trainer that was willing to take on our dog **** for his fear based reactivity to dogs and give us real results! Our dog can now meet other dogs without losing his mind. Other trainers told us we had to get our dog to learn to focus on us instead of the other dogs, and they wouldn't even let us continue with training unless we could successfully get our dog on his own to pay more attention to us than other dogs, which never happened. Thanks to *****, our dog can now make friends! He uses positive reinforcement and calming techniques for training. I don't care if people think Howie is rude or crude, I pay him to get results with my dog, which is what I got.Review from Yazmin V.

I am only leaving one star because besides how unprofessional and crazy this man is the few things he taught our dogs actually worked. I was a client of howie 4 sessions. I was fired as a client because I asked for my boundaries to be respected and he didn't like that. Howie during all our sessions would be unprofessional stating questionable comments such as on our phone consultation he mentioned that he knew someone with my name and they were great in bed, during our first session we told him our dogs slept in our bed and his response was "do you not like to have ***?" in another session he talked about making accountability a game and whoever won would be rewarded with receiving ***ual favors first. He also spoke very openly about his political views and his disregard for black lives matter movement. He would constantly talk about his other clients when they set boundaries or spoke out against comments he made he would speak poorly of them and as well as any other dog trainer in columbia. He would lose focus during sessions and start talking about his ex partner and told us in detail of the story about how his best friend commited suicide, we were charged hourly paying this man to tell us about his life and not our dogs. He wrote down everything he wanted us to do and phases but never let us keep the instructions, would make us take pictures Think twice before giving this unprofessional man your money.Howie's Happy Dog Training LLC Response
