A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I work with dogs because I absolutely love all of them. It's my true passion & a labor of love. I realized at a very young age that I was blessed with a wonderful gift understanding, patience and an ability to communicate on a deep level with animals, especially dogs. Because of my calmness and energy they’ve always responded well with me.
I’m a veteran of the Air Force & was in the aerospace industry most of my life. I decided it was time to do what I was put on this planet to do. I was very fortunate to have an amazing opportunity to train under a former Air Force K9 Handler. Over that period of time I learned advanced dog training, handling skills and behavior modification.
I was born and raised in south Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. I had a very adventurous childhood. I was always outdoors swimming, climbing trees, riding bikes, camping, fishing, ect. We always had a dog growing up. I went in the US Air Force after graduating high school. I went to jet engine school after basic training and was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force for 7 years stationed in Nebraska and Panama City, Florida.
After the military I went back to Louisiana and began working for NASA building the space shuttle tanks, and eventually transferred to Mississippi where the space shuttle main engines are tested. I worked there and Kennedy Space Center, Florida for over 13 years.
After the shuttle program ended I worked in the west Texas oilfields for 2 years, then went to work for a jet engine manufacturer in Connecticut building jet engines for the Airbus A320 aircraft, until deciding to move to Las Vegas to be closer to family.
Happy Dog Happy Home is not just a business name, it’s a business model shared with each and every client.

DOG TRAINING
I focus on obedience, behavioral training and modification. I’ve worked with many breeds, from puppies to mature dogs. I’ve had great success training & modifying unwanted behavior, and transferring the knowledge and skills to the owner.
Training is done in the owners home or at a nearby park if we are working on leash training or recall. Training sessions are 1 hour long, and typically once a week, on your schedule.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
When we adopted our dog Jim two years ago we saw some behavioral issues that we were concerned about. About 5 months after adopting Jim we realized he had developed severe reactivity to other people. He could not be with anyone BUT us and that really limited our lives.
Will was one of only two people to break through Jim. It was one of the only times that Jim was able to interact with someone and that opened up a whole new world to us where we could live our lives and have a happy home.
Will continued to help Jim have a better relationship with our other adopted (and deaf) dog, Dwight. Working with Will has helped us to see how Jim can be a wonderful addition to our family, he has given us the guidance on how to be most responsible with Jim and still love having him in our lives.
We are so grateful to have Will to be able to work with us and will continue to have him help make our dogs happy and well adjusted as possible.
- Josh & Jess
After 10 long years we decided it was the time to have another far baby in our family. Now we needed some guidance for our new addition. We found the perfect trainer to help our Cavapoo and also show and explain to us what to do. From our first meeting with Will from Happy Dog Happy Home we knew he was the trainer we wanted.
Will is knowledgeable and professional and totally understand canine behavior. His classes are enjoyable and informative and his techniques and strategies work for all of us. We could not be happier with our choice of Happy Dog Happy Home. Will is a true dog lover and we are sure you will be just as thankful for choosing him as we are.
