“Happy Hounds Dog Training helps you train puppies and rescue dogs and improve obedience for dogs of any age. Celine Jacobs is the head trainer and owner of Happy Hounds. Information about experience and qualifications is on the Happy Hounds website. She has worked with and been involved with a wide range of large and small animals, but canine care and training became her passion after working closely with rescued dogs. She was always drawn to the most difficult dogs, frequently considered unsuitable for rehoming and with whom people were reluctant to work. Happy Hounds' weekly training classes are held at Larches Farm, Tytherington, South Gloucestershire. They have organised their training into three skill levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold; each level is progressively more advanced. Happy Hounds Dog Training offers a number of classes on different days, running independently of each other. They use positive reinforcement training to help you understand your dog and build a strong and trusting relationship. In addition, they have two secure, enclosed dog walking fields to practice recall, the secure fields are based in Arlingham, Gloucestershire. Training covers areas including Thornbury, Bradley Stoke, Almondsbury, Winterbourne, Berkeley, Dursley, Slimbridge, Cam (Gloucestershire), North Bristol, and all areas in between.”
