Lisa and her dogs

About Us

My name is Lisa and I am the owner/founder of Hunts Happy Hounds which is an independent, family run business in High Wycombe. Dogs have always been my passion and at the moment I am the proud owner of a beautiful Rottweiler and a cheeky Jack Russell.
Training them is a privilege and gives me great enjoyment. I would like to share the knowledge and experience I have gained, along with the training I have received from organisations such as the IMDT (the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers), to help owners understand their dog's behaviour and needs to get the most from their training. Working with your dog should not be a chore, but a way of bonding, learning together and having fun.

As an IMDT member, my membership is reviewed regularly to ensure my continued development is in line with other professionals.

Testimonials
Ellie the Bordoodle
Heidi & Ellie
The beginner agility classes have been brilliant. Lisa provides clear guidance, building the skills and confidence of both dog and handler. Ellie has always refused to go through tunnels but is now happy to tackle these. Looking forward to extending our skills in further classes, thank you.
Rosco
Bronny & Rosco
...since you've been helping us with Rosco his recall has improved and he is much happier and more interested in what's going on. He always looks forward to his training.
Ralph the terrier
Jen & Ralph
Thank you for all your help and support with Ralph. We are really enjoying life with a dog and a lot of that is down to our increased confidence as a result of your classes.
Freddie the black Labrador
TW & Freddie
Following the first class, he fell asleep in the back of our car on the way home, totally shattered! The classes continually challenge him nearly 2 years on and he is so happy when we arrive. You can see his mind working out where the scent marker is hidden, joy in finding it, and I love how we have grown together as a team, working on the searches. I would highly recommend Lisa's classes, she is knowledgeable in how to train and get the best from your dog.
Eric the Schnauser
Derry & Eric
Fabulous - Lisa is clear, supportive, direct and fun with her approach. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone without any doubts.
Blix with scentwork rosettes
AC & Blix
I have a reactive, anxious dog, so I was quite nervous to start, but Lisa has been so patient, understanding, and knowledgeable from the beginning. She really tailors everything to suit each dog, which has made a huge difference for us. Scent work has given my dog a great outlet and I've seen a real boost in her confidence. I Would absolutely recommend Lisa, especially if you have a reactive dog. It's so good for them and mine loves it!
