Katrina's Happy Dogs

Katrina's Happy Dogs Positive dog trainer offering a fun and rewarding approach to training "Enhancing the bond for life".

Back in 2016 I was working at a charity in Cyprus helping to rehome animals within the military community. From that moment on I knew that I wanted to work with animals. I continued to pursue my career and became a fully approved Instructor with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour. I assisted owners and their dogs on a 1-1 basis and I worked at a non-profit humane animal shelter based on th

e central coast of California. I worked alongside 2 other dog trainers and experienced first-hand, that science based positive reinforcement training works. With this approach, I saw the dogs flourish and be placed into wonderful new homes. I am a member of the National Institute of Canine Ethics and I avidly pursue ongoing education and professional development by attending seminars and keeping current on industry literature. I offer a fun and rewarding approach to training that will allow your pet to happily co-exist with you. When not helping clients, I like to explore new places and spend time with my husband plus our two rescue dogs Djin and Django."

It’s Blue Monday, and with the cold January weather, it’s easy to feel a bit down. But your dog is the perfect reminder to stay positive. 🐾 A walk in the crisp air, some training, or simply relaxing together can help beat the winter blues and bring some joy to the day. 🐶

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Maisie.
Her owners reached out to me for some extra support. Maisie needs her confidence building when it comes to walking out in the neighbourhood and travelling in the car.

I am looking forward to working with the family to help them achieve their goals

Do you want to enhance the bond between you and your dog?

Here are some quick tips:

🐕 Spend quality time playing, walking and exploring new places together.
🎓 Train with positive reinforcement and reward good behaviour with treats and praise.
🧩 Challenge your dogs minds with fun activities, such as hide-and-seek.
🛑 Respect their boundaries—learn what your dog loves (and what they don’t).
🐾 Keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and playtime—this will help them to feel secure and happy!

If you would like help with training to "Enhance your bond for life" feel free to reach out—I’d love to help! 🐕✨

Hi everyone, my name is Axel. I have just started my training adventure with Katrina. My mum and dad have said they need help with walking me on lead and with my reactions to other dogs. I am loving the yummy treats and toys that Katrina brings with her. I can't wait to see what we have in store after Christmas.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the amazing owners and dogs I’ve had the pleasure of working with this year. You have all played a huge part in helping me continue my adventure in a field I am truly passionate about.

Working 1-1 with owners allows me to tailor training to your specific goals. It has been very rewarding to see not only the progress the dogs have made but also the growth in owners' confidence.

When you choose to work with me, I look into your unique needs and create a training adventure that is practical and fits round your work and personal life.
My goal is to show you what is possible with your dog and to work on
“Enhancing your bond for life".

If I have worked with you this year, would you please leave a comment about your training adventure, to help other owners reach out and seek support.
