Livingston County dog parents…

I think every dog has a superpower.
The fun part is discovering what it is.

Some dogs were born to chase. Others surprise their owners with confidence they didn’t know they had.

That’s why we built the Happy With Dogs Lure Course.

If you’ve never watched your dog sprint across a field with pure joy, you’re missing out. There’s nothing quite like seeing them do what they were born to do.

Whether your dog is fast, goofy, young, old, big, or small, they just might surprise you.

This is the Happy With Dogs team.
Michigan Dog Trainer | Board & Train + Lessons
Miami Dog Trainer | Board & Train + Classes

We talk almost every day, and we get together every week or two to go over our clients, our dogs, share ideas, solve problems, and figure out how we can keep getting better.

Our clients usually see the trainer they’re working with. What they don’t always see is the entire team working together to support them.

I am so thankful for every person in this picture. Every one of them cares about our clients, their dogs, and our mission to help people enjoy life with their dog.

Thank you for everything you do. Happy With Dogs is what it is because of all of you. ❤️ - Rebecca

This dog has a history of biting.

Before I ever touch the leash, I already have a plan.

I know where I’m going if she comes after me. I know how I’ll create distance. I know how I’ll keep myself safe.

I don’t expect to get bit. I just don’t walk into a bite case without a plan.

Most people never see this side of dog training.

What surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments. If you learned something, send this to someone who loves dogs.

Pet parents, stay informed. New World screwworm has been detected in the U.S.

While the risk for most pet dogs remains low, it's important to know the signs and check your dog regularly for unusual wounds. If something doesn't look right, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Socialization doesn’t mean your puppy has to meet every person or every dog.

I spend a lot of time teaching puppies how to watch the world instead.

Riding in a cart. Sitting quietly at the vet. Watching people walk by. Hearing shopping carts. Seeing kids run past.

Every positive experience builds confidence.

Whether I’m raising a future service dog or helping a family puppy, that’s the goal: a dog that feels safe in the world—not one that thinks they have to interact with everything.

If you’re looking for puppy training in Michigan, Michigan Dog Trainer | Board & Train + Lessons or Miami Miami Dog Trainer | Board & Train + Classes we’d love to help.

💜 Save this for your next puppy, and share it with someone who thinks socialization means saying hi to everyone.
