Is Your Dog Running Your Life? And Do You Want It Back?
Dog Training Services
There are many different reasons why your dog may be acting up or misbehaving.
Dogs may misbehave by:
- Jumping on your furniture
- Jumping on you or your kids
- Biting or chewing on your furniture
- Excessive barking
- Pulling on the leash
- Digging in the yard
To solve these problems, we come to you. We train in your home to make it easy for your dog to learn new behaviors and retain new skills long after dog training is completed. This is less stressful for your dog and your dog learns more quickly in their home environment.
We can also take your dog to common places where you experience behavior problems with your dog outside of the home. This helps your dog learn new skills that match your normal routine.
Dog Training Services
When your dog has become to much to manage, it's time to consult with John to solve your challenges. Puppy parents contact us most often for the following dog training services.
Puppy & Adolescent Dog Training
Puppies can be unruly, chewing on furniture, pulling their leash or leaving puddles wherever they go. We can help get your dog on track so they leave their puppy behaviors behind.
Barking & Disruptive Behaviors
Your dog wants attention and sometimes, will do whatever they can to get yours. We train dogs to manage their impulses so they are less disruptive to your family and your home.
Becoming A Better Roomate
Dogs can be as disruptive to your life as babies and that means we need to help them learn how to coexist with other pets, people and furniture so you have a happy home with your pet.
Improve Your Confidence As A Dog Owner
Learning the skills to interact with your dog is critical so your dog respects and follows your direction. Our in-home training identifies what's needed to be a stronger, more confident leader.

Dog Training Services
Our training philosophy is built on the idea that every dog and every home has their own unique challenges, strengths and needs. At our initial consultation we will help you create goals for your dog and your household. Hands on dog training will continue at your home until you are satisfied with the results.
When we work one-on-one with you and your dog in the comfort of your own home, it helps the dog learn more quickly and suffer less stress and anxiety.
From the very first visit, you will notice a difference in your dog's behavior and demeanor.
Happy Dog Owners
John loves and understands dogs - and dogs respond. What I especially appreciate about his training methods is that he considers the dog in context and uses approaches that will be effective and realistic for the specific canine-human relationship at hand. Not only has he taught me how to work with my dog, who was initially a bit much for me, but he has also kept me informed about local opportunities to have fun with my dog - nose work, swimming and dock diving, canine puzzle games, socialization, etc. I am truly grateful.

John spent a lot of time with us demonstrating and explaining as we trained to make sure I understood the training and that I was doing the training correctly. Opa was sitting, staying, and coming to me after the first training lesson. My family was so impressed. I was showing off Opa’s new manners to all my neighbors the next day and still am. My neighbors and friends said, “Wow! Unbelievable!” I recommend John to everybody. When we are out and about people always comment on what a good boy Opa is. Both Opa and I really enjoyed the training sessions. Thank you John for getting us off on the right track to a wonderfully behaved puppy. You are the best!

It is my privilege to write a review for Happy Homes Dog Training, owned by John and Joan Grosskettler. Starting at 10 weeks of age, they worked with our family to train our Bichon Frise. They came to our home, so the training was tailored to our specific needs. Our dog immediately responded to their suggestions, and now, she is actually a certified Therapy Dog with Pets on Wheels! I would 100% recommended them to train anyone’s dog. These people are the best!
