We stayed in my neighborhood because my dog is familiar with the area. I learned a few techniques that are easy to practice and I can already tell my pup is catching on!

A few months ago we took our rescue pup on a walk with our friend and his rescue. Our dog wasn't to…read morebe trusted off leash and when we let him run around as a test, he ran off and almost went into the road. After watching our friend communicate with his dog using an e-collar, we decided to sign up for off-leash e-collar training with the Good Hound. We worked with Shannon and Siobhan and now feel fully prepared, confident and so, so proud of our pup who we can let off the leash at any time. The Good Hound was the best investment we could have made with our dog for many reasons: 1) They take the dogs out for hikes - giving them a bunch of exercise during the work day and a lot of opportunities to socialize with other dogs. 2) They spend time 1:1 with your dog to get a solid grasp of what they are capable of. In our case, they learned he was not a "working dog"; in other words, he tends to be very lazy and extremely stubborn. 3) They work with you, on what YOU need to practice with the e-collar and on communication with your dog. 4) The trainers LITERALLY go the extra mile. Shannon was so patient and sincere with us; even when we were discouraged by the lack of progress. He even asked if he could take our dog for another trek to further assess his response to recall, and came back with more insight, techniques for us, and a thorough follow-up plan.

The Good Hound has been a wonderful experience for us and for our dog for the last 5 years. When he…read morewas a puppy, they trained him to walk off leash and come when called. Now he is so excited when they arrive to take him on his trail walk. Year round, he gets to hike in fun parks with his "friends" and his beloved Good Hound team members. They respond quickly to questions, often share photos of the walk that are really cute, and also, their staff members have boarded our dog in their homes when we travel- for us, a much better option than sending him to a kennel.

I scheduled at my convenience, leaving a long period between my 4th and 5th sessions. Ida diagnosed my puppy son with dominance, very rare at that early of an age. I had diagnosed him with asshole, and it seemed I was right. She taught me how to show him I was the boss and get him in line. She also taught him all the important commands and gave me homework to strengthen those commands between lessons. She truly got into my dog's head and turned him into a wonderful companion. He is now 8 months old and my best friend. I still call Ida here and there for other problems I have like housekeeping or barking. She suggested a bell he could ring to tell me when he needs to go out and now he uses it every time. I have suggested several friends use Ida. She is a miracle worker.

Our team of certified professional dog trainers work hard to create custom programs that fit every dog, and every budget; from private training lessons to boarding and training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to the hundreds of repetitions and 24/7 accountability that successful dog training requires. You would much rather be spending the time you do have exploring, having fun, making memories, or relaxing with your canine best friend! That’s where our Board and Train dog training services come in. Our trainers will create a unique training program to fit you and your dog's specific needs to achieve the training goals. All travel, treats, care, training, tools, and lifetime guarantee of communication with your assigned trainer is included in each of our programs. At the end of training, your trainer will return the dog back to you where they will not only teach you everything your dog has newly learned, but also how to continue with training in everyday aspects within your own home. Our motivation is to see you communicate, connect, and thrive with your dog!
