At Happy With Dogs, we offer customized training retreats where your dog lives and learns in a trainer’s home- not in a busy, overwhelming kennel facility. These immersive, real-life training programs create lasting behavior change that sticks.
Your dog stays with a professional trainer in a structured home setting- not a loud, crowded facility.
We do the hard work for you, teaching obedience, leash manners, and real-world socialization.
You’ll get lifetime support, so you always have expert guidance even after the training ends.
Spots are extremely limited each month. Schedule a consultation with our Michigan team today to see if your dog qualifies.

We’re in it for the long haul. All of our training programs include follow-up lessons and personalized support to help you maintain and build on your dog’s progress.
If your dog needs extra help after the program ends, we’ve got you covered- our team will recommend next steps, whether that’s additional lessons, a refresher retreat, or ongoing coaching. We’re here to make sure the results stick and you feel confident every step of the way.

Need help or have questions? We’re happy to walk you through it!
Your dog will stay in a professional trainer’s home- not a kennel or facility. We believe dogs thrive with structure, care, and comfort, so they’ll live like a member of the family while receiving daily hands-on training, play, and rest.
All retreats include personalized daily training, progress updates, follow-up lessons at home, and lifetime support for maintaining your dog’s new skills. You’ll also receive video tutorials, worksheets, and a clear roadmap to continue progress after pickup.
We’ll help you decide! The 1-week program focuses on house manners and leash skills. Two weeks adds public practice and stronger obedience. The 3-week retreat is best for off-leash reliability and behavior challenges like reactivity. During your consult, we’ll recommend the best fit based on your goals.
Yes, and you must be! At the end of your dog’s retreat, we’ll schedule a send-home lesson where we show you everything they’ve learned and how to maintain it. You’ll get clear instructions, demo videos, and plenty of support to keep up the momentum
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for further inquiries or to schedule your free consultation. We’re thrilled to embark on a rewarding training journey with you and your four-legged friend. Get ready for pawsome adventures and unleashed potential!
