Good Dog Rising training & behavior

We have had an excellent experience with this GDR and highly recommend them! The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about helping both dogs and their families succeed. What really stood out to me is that they focus not only on teaching the dogs but also on training the owners. Learning how to communicate properly and reinforce good behaviors at home has been just as valuable as the lessons for my dog. Thanks to their guidance, I feel more confident, and my pup is happier and better-behaved.

We have a rescue deaf small dog who was needy, reactive, and an emotional mess.when we walked into training, they had a perfect spot set for him that has helped him become a better dog. I look forward to going each week. Archie is becoming such a fabulous little dog. He’s more sure of himself and he’s learning that being deaf is ok and not so scary. This place is amazing. Highly recommend. UPDATE: Archie took another class to learn how to socialize. He’s become friendlier to strangers and walking him now isn’t a nightmare. Thank you so much Carleen and her amazing assistant Amanda. Without your guidance, we would be up a creek. We are grateful to you. Your kindness, guidance, and patience have been. A blessing to us.

Paws down, this is the best training and trainers I've used. They use positive reinforcement training to help you and your dog live your best lives together. Their training has made a huge improvement in my dog's confidence too. I recommend this place to everyone I know who has a pet, whether it's a puppy or a grown dog. They are worth the drive!

Excellent facility & trainers. My dog is recently adopted with no training & I was anxious due to a previous training class experience elsewhere. They listened to my concerns & set us up for success. My dog was able to focus & learn due to the accommodations they made for us & I now feel confident that we will be successful. Highly recommend!

GDR is a great place for puppy kindergarten and socialization. The trainers are knowledgeable, creative with their solutions to behavioral issues, and entertaining during class. I've now taken two puppies through their puppy class and they both loved training nights!
