About Us

Welcome to Good Dog Training & Behavior! We're passionate about helping our clients build strong and positive relationships with their dogs. Let us teach you how to "speak" dog and create a harmonious environment at home.

Our personalized training and behavior consultation services are designed to address your dog's specific needs and enhance their overall well-being.

 

We proudly practice modern, evidence-based, force-free training methods, which means we’re skilled dog trainers who don't need to use pain, fear, or intimidation to train your dog.

Our primary training tool is positive reinforcement, which employs rewards (praise, toys, treats, etc.) to motivate your dog to succeed.

 

At Good Dog Training & Behavior, we're committed to making a difference in the lives of dogs and their families. Let us help you and your furry friend thrive together.​​​

Whether your dog needs to learn a few basic cues or has serious behavior issues, we can help. Our private training and behavior modification services are customized to address your goals and concerns and take place in your home, where you'll have our expert's undivided attention. Although we technically offer dog training and behavior modification services, we really specialize in helping you understand how your dog thinks!

Positive reinforcement training stimulates your dog’s thinking, improves impulse control, strengthens the bond between you and your dog, and makes training fun!

Dogs learn more efficiently when they use their noggins to figure out how to earn rewards, rather than doing the minimum to avoid punishment.​

Good Dog Good Manners in-home training packages include enrichment activities, training the most useful cues, teaching you how to avoid future behavioral challenges, as well as age-specific topics like house training, impulse control, destructive chewing, and more!

Behavior Help

Undesirable behavior can negatively impact your quality of life as well as your dog’s. Our customized behavior consultation services are designed to address your dog's specific behavioral challenges.

We'll investigate why your dog reacts the way they do as well as what happens just before they respond. When we know what is triggering your dog to react and why, we can address the underlying cause and modify your dog's presenting behavior.
