Hey, I’m Stephanie.
"The results you want with methods your dog will LOVE!"
That's been my goal ever since I launched Happy Hounds.
I want to show you that you DON'T need to use corrections or harsh methods to get a well-trained dog!
I'm so glad you're here!

REAL Tutorials With Dogs in Training
Why do I film my Youtube videos with dogs that are ACTUALLY learning the skills on camera?
Because it's more helpful!
Rather than watching a perfectly trained dog demo something, I wanted to show REAL videos of dogs learning new skills so that you can follow along with your dog at home!
Steph is patient and kind (my dog loves her!)
Her training is fun, easy to follow, and most importantly:
it works!
