They always communicate what is happening with schedules, and are reliable to a T. Our pup is always very excited to see them at pickup, and both clearly have many years of experience with all kinds of dogs. They work with you and their schedules for what works best, and of course what the dog needs too. Great people, great service.

She wants the dogs to get the most out of their time out and considers how the dogs in a group work together. The proof of what they do is easy to see. On pick up, our dog is thrilled to see Susie and when he comes home, he's happy, wet, and he's played himself tired. Susie is as great with us as she is with our puppy. As first time dog parents, I've probably been more needy and with more questions than most, and Susie is a great resource, giving all the time that we need. Flexible and understanding with scheduling and easy and fast with communications. Introduce your dog to Susie and John and he/she will love you for it!

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've told her she's so organized she should be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but I'm sure glad she does this instead.
