Colette is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She was even willing to work with my young son so he could participate in the training process. I also appreciated that she was willing to meet our dog where she was and be patient with her progress. Look no further - Good Dawg Training is the best in Sonoma County!

I can't recommend Perfect Pooch Performance and Marie enough. Callahan has been going to her…read moredaycare for a few months now, and from the very beginning he was always so excited to go to her house, which told me everything I needed to know. Marie has an amazing setup, including a massive backyard that honestly feels like a private dog park. There's so much room for the dogs to run, play, and burn off energy in a safe, well supervised environment. After just one or two visits, I noticed a huge improvement in Callahan's behavior. He stopped jumping on people, which was something we had been working on. she also gives updates through her Instagram story so you can check on your pup throughout the day! One of my favorite things. Marie is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and clearly understands dog behavior. She's also very affordable and offers training services as well, which I'm really interested in doing at some point. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, well cared for, and learning good habits at the same time. Highly recommend.

My puppy took the puppy elemtenary and jr. high class that Molly offers. The location was great!…read more Molly is great, and I wasn't shy about asking questions outside of training. She has been around many dogs and knows what she is talking about. Molly helped us recognize things our dog was doing and helped us correct them in a positive way. The first class went over the basics and since we are first time dog owners the principles she taught were helpful to us. It wasn't just sit and stay, there is a lot of socialization of the dogs. The jr. high class seemed to repeat some things. However, it was good for us to remember the basics and helped us be consistent. Molly also has some playgroups which were fun when it was cold out. Plus, at those playgroups she is open for questions and she corrects any misbehaving dogs (ie...mine).

Molly is a wonderful person and trainer. You can tell she really cares about her clients and their…read moredogs. Of course everyone needs to make money somehow but you know right off the bat that this is Molly's passion and purpose in life and she loves it. Her rates are fair and she goes above and beyond when working with you and your pup. My husband and I are really glad we found her to train our little yorkie. It's amazing what just a few sessions did for our dog and Molly uses all positive reinforcement for training. At our last session it was a great refresher to get us, as owners, feeling good about all our dog has learned already and how to continue to train her in the future. I feel so much more confident now after having Molly come into our home to help us than I did before we met her. If any questions were to come up, I know she'd help in any way and just wants the best for the dogs (and clients)! If you are looking for a trainer that is truly invested in your pup's best interest and working along side you (for better or worse) Molly is the one! If I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. Thank you Molly for everything!

Lindsey is in an entire different league, helping you connect with your dog on an entire different level. Most trainers work just on the physical and "symptoms", especially with problem or aggressive dogs. Lindsey works to understand how they think, connecting with them on an emotional level. Obviously, this sounds much different than what most people are use to, but I highly recommend getting out of your typical comfort zone. Your dog will thank you.

It really works!…read more Sherry is amazing! I was skeptic on how the training over the phone would work. Let me tell you, it really works! It is like having Sherry right there with you. Sherry gives you calm, clear, detailed, interesting, and fun instructions as you learn from her to execute the training of your dog during that scheduled appointment. I adopted a 5-month-old Terrier mix, and she would not go through the dog door-petrified of it. With Sherry's help, in a few amazing training sessions, I am excited to say, that is no longer an issue. My dog goes in/out like it is not even there. We are now working on training her to take walks and with one session we are moving in a positive direction. I can't stress enough how I look forward to our weekly 30min sessions as Sherry gives me the confidence, sureness, and enjoyment of training my dog.
