DOG TRAINING

Calm, Confident Dogs. Relaxed Owners.

Is your dog becoming a handful on walks?
Do you dream of calm, focused training sessions — not frustration and confusion?
Whether you’ve got a cheeky pup, a reactive rescue, or a dog who’s just lost their spark, Happy Hounds is here to help you reconnect and rediscover the joy of training.

🌿 Force-Free, Science-Led, Tailored to You

At Happy Hounds, we focus exclusively on personalised 1-to-1 training — online or in person — to help you make real, lasting progress.
Every dog and every home is unique, so we start by looking at the full picture: your dog’s environment, lifestyle, personality, and breed type.
Then we design a plan that’s easy to follow, kind, and effective — built on calmness, positive reinforcement, and practical pattern games that strengthen your bond.

🐕‍🦺 Training Options

💚 1-2-1 Private Training Programmes

Choose between multiple session packages to focus on what really matters — loose lead walking, recall, reactivity, problem behaviours, and general manners.
Sessions include clear written plans, video guides, and full WhatsApp support.
📍 Available across Corbridge, Tyne Green (Hexham), your home, and surrounding areas from Bellingham to Alston, and Ryton to Haltwhistle.

💻 Online Training & Video Consults

Prefer to train from home? Our Zoom sessions uncover more than you think!
With years of experience, we’ll help you make real change after just one conversation.

🐾 Social Walks & Puppy Meet-Ups

Looking for calm, structured socialisation?
Our puppy and adult dog social walks build confidence, teach focus, and reinforce polite interactions in a friendly, supportive group.
