At The Happy Hound Play Park, we’re passionate about helping dogs and their families build stronger, happier relationships through expert training and guidance. Our team includes three certified positive-reinforcement dog trainers who are dedicated to transforming the way you and your dog navigate life together.
We proudly offer a wide range of training services, including day training programs, board & train options, group obedience classes, and private dog training sessions in Edmonton. Whether you’re working on basic obedience, resolving behavioural challenges, or preparing for advanced skills, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our programs are built on force-free, science-based positive reinforcement techniques, designed to strengthen your bond with your dog while addressing challenges and achieving your goals. From managing reactivity and improving loose-leash walking to creating calm behaviour at home, our training is tailored to set you and your dog up for long-term success.
We'd love to work together with you to create a well-behaved, confident, and happy dog—and an even happier life together! Explore our training options and find the solution that’s right for you.
You don't need to know what training is right for you or your situation; that's what an in-person consultation with our certified positive reinforcement trainer can help you figure out.
Ask questions, share your concerns and challenges, and ask about our training methods and our approach.
Our goal for you is to feel confident in your next steps with your dog and supported in your goals. Call or email to inquire and we can set something up that works with your calendar.
We're here to help you. To set you on the path to achieve your goals for your relationship with your dog.
Whether for obedience, puppy foundations, adolescent struggles, or behaviour rehabilitation, reactivity or aggression, our private training is tailored to you and your dog.
We offer group classes for all ages and focusing on everything from behaviour to behaviour.
Class-size is small with a maximum of five dogs so you get maximum trainer time and attention.
All classes are held indoors in our climate-controlled training room at 8305 Wagner Rd NW.
Our 12-session day train program takes places over four to six weeks, depending on the schedule you arrange with the trainer.
The personal program is developed in conjunction with the trainer in support of your goals. Whether it is obedience, loose leash walking, tricks, or other recreational training, our trainer will put together a program personalized to your dog.
Puppy kindergarten is a fantastic socialization and training support program that takes place during daycare. It incorporates basic training and behaviour fundamentals to help your puppy have a solid foundation both socially and for future training.
Your puppy spends the day with us in daycare personalized to them and has trainer-led time for socialization, confidence building and training.
Feel confident knowing your dog is being trained in an environment that looks out for your dog's overall wellbeing as much as it does the outcome of the training process.
Your dog stays with us in our fully climate-controlled facility and has structured activity and engagement times best-suited to them, their needs and your training goals.
Dogs do not innately know how to stay away from home or be boarded. They do not innately understand being away from you, the social aspects required of them, how to rest in a sleeping space that isn't home, and how to disengage from busyness.
Help your dog learn how to participate positively in a daycare or boarding environment, how to engage with and respond positively with the demands of an environment that isn’t home, and how to be able to rest well.
