Lara Schindler is the founder of Happy Dog Happy Owner. She has always had a love for dogs and an interest in dog behavior and dog training.

It was this realization that motivated her to combine her love for training and her love for dogs and become a dog trainer. Soon after, her San Diego based dog training company, Happy Dog Happy Owner, was born.
