Few Words About Happy Valley Kennel
OurMission
Happy Valley Kennel’s origin is based on owner Krista Wade’s passion for dogs, coupled with a natural gift to teach dogs and people. HVK is unique in many ways. We have specialized breeding and training programs to fit the needs of you and your canine. Our breeding program is focused on selecting and producing German Shepherds, Wire-Haired Dachshunds, and Labrador Retrievers with well-balanced dispositions, temperaments, and high drives from superior proven bloodlines. To be selected for HVK’s breeding program, males and females must meet our high standards. Our evaluation process ensures that their genetics, temperaments, trainability, and drives meet our standards. Happy Valley Kennel’s premier professional dog training offers owners and their dogs in Tennessee the unique opportunity to achieve the relationship that they have always desired. Whether you purchase a German Shepherd, Wire-Haired Dachshund, or Labrador from HVK or own a dog of another breed, we welcome you into HVK’s training program. A well-laid foundation is the basis upon which a lasting relationship with your dog is built. We are dedicated to teaching you and your dog how to communicate to effectively build a trusting, loving relationship.
K9Training & Education
Happy Valley Kennel believes that education and training are essential to effective communication. Communication is the key to building the relationship you desire with your dog. Krista’s years of practical, real-life canine education coupled with her experience as a Tennessee professional secondary education teacher have aided her in developing Happy Valley Kennel’s training programs. We will teach you and your dog how to communicate more effectively and, in turn, build a relationship that develops into a partnership. The HVK training programs are available to all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. Because dogs do not have a voice like their human counterparts, they must communicate in other ways. Owners need the tools and information to communicate their desires to their dogs successfully. HVK’s education and training programs are designed for you, as well as your dog.
