Our puppy had a great experience at Happy Pup Manor. We missed him so much but seeing photos of him so happy and playing outside was great, as were the report cards we got every other day. It’s hard to send your puppy away but he was clearly so loved and so well cared for, and he came home with some great skills that we can continue to build on. Big thumbs up from us!

We just got our 4 month old labradoodle puppy Taco back from Happy Pup Manor. He went for a month of training and we couldn’t be happier with how he returned to us. He left struggling with having accidents in the house, nipping and biting, only knowing limited commands. He came back to us a proper little gentleman. He is now totally house trained, no longer nipping and biting, very obedient! This is our second dog we have had Gabby and Happy Pup Manor train for us. With a new puppy I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them with training, their training eliminated many of the struggles you deal with when welcoming a new dog to your house.

We sent our Goldendoodle Wynnie to Happy Pup and had a wonderful experience. She is now a loving, well trained dog! Gabby and her entire staff are outstanding- Gabby opens her gorgeous home to all of the dogs and cares for them as her own. Our family can travel peacefully knowing Wynnie is in the best of care, and happy with her friends. We love to see all of the pictures and videos of her playing! Happy Pup Manor is truly an incredible, one of a kind training and boarding facility!

Gabby and her team far exceeded our expectations. We have a whole new dog. I don’t know how 10 days of training can change a puppy this much! Most valuable though, was the hour of time my family spent with Gabby learning how to continue training our golden doodle puppy on her own. Seriously this is the best money I’ve ever spent.

Photo 1: Gabby texted us photos of our dog throughout the weeks and kept us updated on how training was going.

Photo 2: we attended the hour long consultation and training with a 10-year-old and Four-year-old. Gabby was fantastic in helping her understand how to train the dog and also setting some reasonable expectations.

Our golden doodle Cosmo was trained by Gabby at Happy Pup Manor in 2018 and has been back to board twice while we were on vacation. We absolutely trust the care, love, and attention given to Cosmo by the staff at Happy Pup Manor. We love the door-to-door service, the picture and video updates, and the bath Cosmo gets before he returns home. We have recommended Happy Pup Manor to several friends who have also brought their puppies for boarding and training. We can't say enough about the great service we have experienced.

My experience with Happy Pup Manor was wonderful. My husband and I were very frustrated with our little pup when we reached out to Gabby for help. We weren't getting any sleep at night and walking her was a chore.

Gabby was very helpful over the phone and helped us understand why she was doing those things and how to change them. Bella, our pup, stayed for 10 day training/boarding camp and arrived home a refined dog. Gabby sent pics and updates throughout the stay and then went through all the training for over 2 hours with us when Bella arrived home. She is the same sweet dog, but with manners:)

Walks are so relaxing now and we are able to take her to patios and dine with no problem. She goes to her bed on her own now and knows not to jump on our guests. We have received so many compliments on what a well behaved dog we have out in public.

Thank you Gabby for your hard work!!!

We had the best experience with Gaby and Happy Pup Manor. We sent our (then) 6month old golden doodle puppy named Sunday to Gaby for the 10 day train and board and he came back a new puppy! He was always sweet and adorable, but now he is an expert at sit and down stays, he knows to go to his bed when people come to the door or ring the doorbell, and overall is just a better listener and well-behaved little guy!

I bring Sunday to work with me and everyone cannot get over how well behaved he is especially for his age. This past week he was used in a photo shoot for a dog friendly hotel client of ours and he was a super star model. Staying everywhere he was told and posing perfectly. I WAS A PROUD MOM -- and that is all thanks to Gaby!

Finally, you can tell that Gaby TRULY cares about the pups she trains, which is amazing. She also took the time to "train" my husband and I when she brought him home to us so that we can properly reinforce what he learned. We also received cute videos and photos throughout his time at Happy Pup Manor which was amazing since we missed our little guy SO much!

Anyway, I CANNOT RECOMMEND GABY enough - she is amazing and the only person you should consider sending your fur baby to for training.

This was a very positive experience for me as a first-time dog owner. My Nash completed the 10-day training at 11 weeks old and learned the foundational commands. I feel confident with continued practice and reinforcement that, Nash and I will have a great life together. He knew all the commands and, even with the puppy brain..did quite well. I also appreciate the training and information I received when he returned home; the trainer was friendly and provided clear guidance. It was helpful to have the training in my home. I enjoyed the regular updates throughout his training, their responsiveness, and the bonus of the picture, leash, and collar when he returned home. I am so happy that Happy Pup Manor was referred to me, and I will only leverage them for any future training and boarding needs I may have in the future. I look forward to seeing his growth and independence. It's funny right now; I don't get to practice the Come command because he never leaves my side. I think we both love being near each other:)
