OUR PROGRAM
Happy Tails Obedience Training offers trained and socialized puppies for families and individuals who don’t want to worry about training a new puppy, or who may not have the time or knowledge to train their own dog.
Many of our clients simply understand that allowing a professional to train their dog during their most important developmental stages is the best way to own the dog of their dreams!
For owners searching for their future best friend we have a few started and graduated Elite Puppies available for them to choose from. These puppies are carefully selected and temperament tested before the even start training, to ensure we are only training and offering the best for our clients. They come from outstanding breeders with healthy and stable adult dogs, and have the personalities that make them ideal family dogs! Our puppies have also become service and therapy dogs across the states.
We will only accept puppies from high-quality breeders that meet our standards:
- Health tested adult dogs
- OFA certified hips and elbows OR PennHip.
- At least one dog of the breeding pair is clear of all hereditary genetic diseases pertaining to the breed.
- Adult dogs, and any dogs that will be around the puppies must have solid temperaments and good personalities.
- Puppies must be raised indoors. We do not accept puppies from kennels or puppy mills.
- No history of parvovirous or other life-threatening communicable diseases among previous or current puppies.

3. LET’S FIND A PUPPY FOR YOU
Whether you’re looking for a service dog candidate, a companion to hike with, or your family’s next best friend, we are here to help you find and train that perfect dog.
We start the journey by providing a our clients with a comprehensive questionnaire, to find out exactly what they want and NEED in a puppy. We discuss the GENDER, SIZE, ACTIVITY LEVEL and BREED of puppy they would like trained for their family, while also taking into consideration the puppy’s desired purpose (service, therapy, family pet, working dog, etc.)
Once we have the ideal puppy in mind, we will begin our search for the perfect breeder!
With the right breeder secured, we will put a reservation down on the litter and then temperament test all of the available puppies when they are between 7 and 8 weeks old.
After the temperament test has been completed, we will put a deposit down on the puppy our client chooses and get them ready for training.

We offer three training programs for our owners to choose from: Jump Start Puppy, Amazing Puppy, and Elite Puppy. Each program covers the four basics of puppy training: potty training, crate training, polite manners, and socialization.

In order to have a strong relationship with their puppies, we HEAVILY ENCOURAGE owners to come down and visit. We will even allow them to bring their puppy home for the weekend! This way, our owners get an inside look at our training program, have a chance to practice commands and behaviors their puppies are learning, and become an essential part of the raising process.
If owners aren’t able to visit their puppies throughout their training program, don’t worry. Our program is timed specifically to send puppies home during their crucial bonding periods so they can quickly and easily attach to their new owners as if they’ve known them their whole lives.
To make it even better, while the puppy is in training we keep the owner in the loop! We film, record, and document every step of the training process. Our clients recieve regular training updates with video tutorials, training sessions, and dog trainer secrets, all stored in a convenient online folder. This way the owner can have access to them anytime, anywhere!
We want our clients to UNDERSTAND their puppy’s training so they can have the same results we do.

FOR UTAH OWNERS:
We hand-deliver our puppies! We will conduct an essential session in our client’s home where we spend up to two hours going over everything their puppy knows. We will demonstrate commands and behaviors, discuss training topics and methods, and give owners the oportunity to practice these new skills one-on-one with their puppy.
We call this the Transition Session.
Once the puppy has settled in, we schedule a follow-up sessoin. This session is great for tweaking training to make it fit the owner’s lifestyle and home. It also gives us a chance to address any budding behavioral issues with the puppy, train new commands as needed, and answer any questions the owner may have.
With all of our programs, we also offer life-long training support through text, call, email, and private sessions. This way, no matter what’s going on with their puppy, our clients have the ability to reach out to us! If we can address the issue over the phone, perfect. If the owner needs one-on-one help, we will schedule a private session within the next few hours and get it taken care of.
FOR OUT-OF-STATE OWNERS:
We have puppies located across the States and have developed a special Transition Program especially for these owners!
A few days begore the puppy is scheduled to come home we will record and send a detailed Graduation Video to the owner starring their puppy! In this video, we go over everything the puppy has learned during their program, walk through and demonstrate commands and behaviors, and discuss essential training topics. This way, the owner always has something to look back on and review as they settle in with their new puppy.
If a training issue pops up, and we are too far away to help in person, we will schedule a video calls so we can see the issues in real time. This way we can observe the behavior, understand WHY it’s happening, and give the owner a detailed training plan to take care of the issue. If for some reason the issue is too challenging to address through video chat, we will point the owner to a trainer in their area who can help. Depending on the issue, we will help cover the training fee so the owner can get back on track to enjoying their puppy.
When you bring home a puppy from Happy Tails Obedience Training, you are bringing home a life-long companion.
