SERVICES
Our services are worth every penny, we will always try to adapt as much as possible to your schedule and get the best out of your dog.
Puppy Training
Accommodating your lifestyle
Our Puppy training involves intimate understanding of your animal’s natural and individual history. Your pet has plenty of potential to learn and understand commands, and our techniques will lay the foundation for further training to build upon. We combine your needs and wants with the natural attributes of your pet. Basic puppy training includes, but is not restricted to: sit, stay, down, eye contact, recall, walking nicely on a leash, stopping jumping and biting, and good behaviour around food.
Intermediate Training
For pups older than 6 months
This training focuses on dogs who are older than 6 months. They should know some basic commands like sit, stay and lay down as the intermediate training will be a more advanced training focusing on commands at a distances and dog self-control. These are very important for your dog as it starts getting older and more confident. Responding to recall when there are distractions around is a major part of this and an area where many people battle.

We have worked and lived with animals for a long time. We have varying experience with a variety of animals. From wild animals in South Africa to shows dogs in the UK. This gives us a wealth of knowledge about animals and their behaviour that is a huge advantage over our competitors.
Good Manners
Coming from good backgrounds, we know how to talk, and act with respect. We work closely with owners to training their dogs and pour our passion and experience into our work.
Studied
We have an understanding of animals that not many people can claim. We have studied animal behaviour, body language and dog obedience training. This helps us to evaluate and help most dogs we work with. We are able to get the best out of dogs and create happy family environments.
Moral Compass
Being involved in conservation in South Africa is a major part of what we stand for. Jarred grew up, studied and worked in the African bush. He loved the bush so much that he has returned to train dogs to help with conservation of African wildlife. From Happy Days Dog and Puppy Training we do our best to contribute towards conservation in South Africa by making regular donations and raising funds for conservation work.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HAPPY DAYS DOG AND PUPPY TRAINING
Analees
Joey’s owner
Joey was signed for the 6-week puppy training as the whole family was doing their best to get him used to his new home. Thanks to Happy Days Dog Training Joey has learnt some basic commands that makes such a difference to our lives. Thanks to Jarred’ s advise I feel a lot more comfortable walking Joey and not feel afraid of perhaps been attacked by bigger dogs. My 2 boys played an active role during the training and therefore Joey also responds to commands from them. Onwards and upwards for my family as we feel a lot more settled and at ease after Joeys training. I highly recommend Happy Days Dog Training.
Matt
Murray’s owner
We booked a 6-week training course with Happy Days Dog Training and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. The classes were scheduled around our work commitments which was hugely appreciated. Our-10-week old puppy has learnt basic commands, and appropriate behaviour while walking on a lead and is growing into a well behaved pup at 16 weeks. I highly recommend basic training with Happy Days, especially if you have a young puppy!
Sharon
Chester’s owner
Truly outstanding. Cannot recommend Happy Days Dog Training highly enough! Jarred, our trainer, has an excellent understanding of dogs and from the very first session our dog was learning important skills, he also taught us as owners (also very important) how to train ourselves when dealing with dogs and potential issues at home such as begging at the table, toilet training, etc… Please use his great service, as he obviously love dogs and care for their welfare 10/10.
Paula
Mya’s owner
I only had one and a half hrs training over 2 days with Mya a border collie. She was 3-4 months old. I had leash training mainly to stop her pulling and because she was rearing up at traffic. After such a short time she walks alongside me with no pulling and traffic is no longer a problem. She is now five and a half months and is such a good dog. I would highly recommend happy days dog training. He really knows his stuff and nothing is too much trouble whatever problems you may have with your dog.
Phil
Bear’s owner
Jarred was really helpful, he was super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. He was excellent with our minaiture poodle Bear, who’s now a fully qualified pupper!!! Couldn’t recommend him enough.
Ben
Rocky’s owner
Jarred was great with our 8 week old puppy! As soon as we got our pup we arranged for Jarred from Happy Days training to come over. The 1 to 1 training was great for our pup and us. We learnt what to do when he was biting to encourage him to stop, and by the final week he was sitting on command, laying down and beginning to learn stay (now he has mastered it and he’s only 4 months old!). Would highly recommend!
Nicola
Quill’s owner
Absolutely amazing dog trainer. Brilliant with teaching us as well as training Quill. Quill has just completed his 6 week puppy training course and has come on leaps and bounds. All basic commands have been covered and Quill has grasped all of them with ease. Recall has also come on very well along with walking on his lead. Would highly recommend and we will be returning for more agility training with Quill in the spring. Thanks so much Jarred You have been fab!
Martin
Dexter’s owner
Jarred was great with our cockapoo Dexter. Really helpful being able to base the sessions at home so he could see the environment and issues we were having. Really helpful and answered our kids questions and was happy to engage them in training tips such as paw shaking and roll over. We got lots through it, even if some was just confirmation that what we had been doing was correct. Puppies are tough work but with Jarreds help I think we’ll come out the other side with a dog (and owners) well trained. Just be ready to go through treats !!!
Ceri
Dexter’s owner
Jarred is fantastic at what he does and has brought our little beagle on brilliant. Dexter showed improvement with every session and puppy classes have definitely paid off. Jarred is very knowledgeable and very flexible which was great with our very busy family life. Can not recommend Happy Days Puppy Training enough.
