Happy Paws Dog Training LA

To all those pet lovers out there having troubles to understand your dogs and looking for a real solution, let me tell you my experience with happy paws dog trainning. I adopted a puppy just before the covid outbreak started, so he did not got a chance to socialize due to lockdown and walking the dog slowly turned into a nightmare: excesive barking, pulling the leash, aggresiveness with people and other animals, plus some neighbors complains, finally I gave up and stop walking the dog just keeping him inside, but the situation got worse when he bit my husband and never stopped barking, even inside. Thanks to Raquel, we took control of our pet at the end of the training session, we even were able to go outside and walk him again after so long, (we were really excited) Raquel explained the psychology of the dog and our impact on his behaviour in a very simple way, which was the basis of the success and definitively no other training would have solved our problems, or at least not so fast with such great results. All we need to do now is to be consistent with what we have learned, (because is our responsibility to do so) and surely we will never have this problem again. We are very greatful with Raquel to help us discover the best way to communicate with our puppy, so we can love him more than ever and enjoy the best version of himself. Thank you Raquel!!!

Raquel is awesome! I know it sounds unbelievable but my dogs were acting better within minutes of Raquel's arrival. Her method is about understanding how dogs communicate and teaching us to communicate to them what we want. In the past, I've taken dogs to "obedience school" at Petco or the like and it's been a frustrating waste of time and money. After working with Raquel I see that getting a dog to sit for a treat really IS a waste of time because their not listening to you, they are doing what they have to do to get the treat and its not effective because we want them to always listen- treat or not. We definitely still have some work to go (we are only about 1 week in) but the improvement is undeniable and I'd say my dogs are about 80% to where I'd like them to be. Our quality of life has improved and I think I can speak for the dogs on that too! We can see in their body language that they are more relaxed and happy- not stressed and anxious as they used to be. You wont regret investing in training from Raquel!

Let me just start off by saying that Raquel is a true dog whisperer. I contacted her because my puppy was having problems with socialization with other people and dogs. She truly knows what she is doing and I recommend her 100%. Every single penny was worth it. It’s crazy that with just one session my puppy Milo is already acting way different and more confident when we pass people and other dogs. I cannot thank Raquel enough for what she did for us. She trained not only Milo but my fiancé and I. She taught us how to be true pack leaders and how that is very important when owning a dog. Thank you so much Raquel for everything!!

Raquel is the most amazing person, she literally changed our lives in one session. We have a 17 month old Cavapoo who was demand barking constantly at home, was pulling terribly on the leash and was only taking commands when treats were available. Although I had completed a number of training classes, (which btw he behaved impeccably in, as treats were available) as he got older I actually had less and less control of him, at times I didn't even know what he was demand barking for and as a family we were at our wits end not knowing what to do or how to stop him from doing all these unwanted behaviors..... then I found Raquel!!!!! Raquel is truly some kind of dog whisperer. From the moment we met (in the doorway of our home) she began teaching and training. Before she even walked through the door she showed me how to stop him barking! I was able for the first time ever to stop him! She hadn't even walked in yet! I cannot begin to explain how amazing Raquel is. Aside from being a really lovely person she was able to teach and explain to us all we need to know to understand our pup and to get the best out of him. She taught and explained the mentality of dogs, what they want and need in order to be happy and obedient aswell as teaching us how to implement all of this information. Its alot to take in, but with her obvious knowledge and amazing abilities by the end of our session both my husband and I were able to stop our pup when he barked, walk him without pulling on leash and overall have control over him and have his attention. We have not looked back since, its only been a week but in this short time we have a VERY happy, contented, relaxed, obedient, loving and good dog. Life with our pup has changed from stressful to an absolute pleasure and this is all down to Raquel. We did the masterclass with Raquel and it was worth every cent. In my opinion the knowledge and ability Raquel shares and gives to you is priceless and life changing.

My partner and I were thoroughly trained yesterday and somehow a miracle happened and our dog blue is so much better today. Wow 💜
