Who we are

🐾 Welcome to The Happy Dog Institute

At The Happy Dog Institute, we’re all about helping dogs live joyful, fulfilling lives — and helping their humans become confident, compassionate companions. Founded by Alex Middleton, a CPD-accredited professional dog trainer with diplomas in dog training, advanced obedience, agility, animal care, and canine first aid, our approach blends skill, science, and a whole lot of heart.

Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, managing behavioural challenges, or diving into sport training, we’re here to guide you every paw-step of the way.

Welcome to a place where paws get moving, tails keep wagging, and transformations begin!
