    At Doggie Do Good, Inc. we train many different types of Service Dogs depending on the need of the owner. We also will consider training a doggie that the owner already has if that doggie is a qualified candidate for service. All service dog training includes solid basic obedience such as: Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, and Leave It. We train Service Dogs for the hearing impaired and people who are wheelchair-bound, as well as for those who need seizure assistance or help with mobility and/or balance. We also train dogs for diabetic alert and companion/psychological assistance, among other things. Please contact us for more information or to see if we can train a Service Dog to fit your needs.

  • Boarding
    Program details

    Boarding at Doggie Do Good is not like taking your dog to an ordinary kennel. During your dog's stay with us, they will be in a loving home environment. Your dog will be allowed to play, sleep and eat under the careful supervision of our trainers. Your dog will have individual attention during their stay here. If your dog likes to play with other canine friends, they will be able to play in our large grassy yard with other fun loving pooches. If your dog prefers to have his/her own space then they can play in the yard by themselves or with a trainer. Whichever your dog's preference might be, Doggie Do Good provides a fun and safe environment for your doggie while you are away. We strongly recommend that your doggie completes one of our training routes before joining us for boarding. We will accept new doggies, however, if our trainers need to spend additional time correcting for nuisance behaviors while in our stay, we will contact you to discuss your options.

  • Daycare
    Program details

    At Doggie Do Good, Inc., we have a highly effective dog training program where dogs come to stay with us just as our Service Dogs do. We take our Doggie Camp dogs everywhere including beaches, parks, and even busy shopping centers. We also train them in our home and on our property where dogs learn advanced training and off-leash commands safely. We work on basic obedience (sit, come, down, stay, and heel) with distractions so that your dog learns to listen regardless of their environment. We also address all kinds of behavioral issues including various forms of aggression, jumping, chewing, digging, barking and nipping, to name a few. We can train advanced dog obedience tasks like boundary training, nite-nite/bed (go to a bed and stay), tricks, and off-leash work as well. Doggie Camp is completely customizable to meet your needs.

Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Hi I want to ask if you live in another state what do you do to get the dog with it’s owner and if the owner have to pay the cost of the travel. And what do you do to train the dog with the owner if the owner can’t travel. Do you do it virtually?

So a trainer comes to me and the trainer helps me learn all the tasks the dog has learned. What is the price range of a psychiatric dog?

Community answer · Keidy Velasquez · 2021-09-21

Hi there! We work with client's nationwide. If you live out of state and are unable to make it out to us in California for the training, we would send a trainer out to you. You would be responsible for the travel fees. When the dog is ready to graduate, it is important that we work with the handler to show them everything the dog has learned for them and how to be a successful service dog team. This is called the transfer process, and it lasts 5-7 days, this must be done in person.

Do you guys train service dogs for ptsd? And if so what would the range of the price be?

They do, the prices vary, some of that depends on what kind of dog you get.

Community answer · Carla Donaldson · 2019-09-21

We do train service dogs. All service training depends on the type of service dog you are looking for. You can find our available dogs here: https://www.doggiedogood.com/service-dogs

I have an autism comprehensive problem and they sent an application that I'm incapable of doing cause I don't understand it and I don't know someone who can help me. What's the point of saving up to pay for the dog and training and the expenses and monthly donations if they're not going to help you

We picked up our dog today that had been at Doggie Do Good for the last 4 weeks. The transfer process was about 5 hour because they took the time to train the whole family and transition us into being the trainers. Santiago did a great job of explaining not only how to work our dog but "why" each step of the way. We are very happy with the outcome at this point and look forward to continued improvement as we utilize the skills we learned. Thank you for making our stubborn Cane Corso more a part of our family.

It is virtually impossible to write a review for Doggie Do Good because one cannot adequately put into words how incredible everything about the organization, the staff, the facilities, the training, the results, the follow-ups, the family, and the results is. From start to finish and beyond, the word we found ourselves saying about every detail of Doggie Do Good was (and still is) WOW! Entrusting your dog (whether he/she is a puppy, fully grown, or anywhere in between) to other people can be one of the biggest leaps of faith you could take as parents, but Doggie Do Good made us feel so comfortable and confident about the entire process before we even left to head to their wonderful HQ in Arroyo Grande that we were beaming with excitement about the experience each of our two puppies were set to enjoy. When we arrived, the intake process was not only as professional as one could imagine, but it was so loving and joyful that we knew from the get go that our pups were going to be surrounded by immeasurable adoration and attention the entire time they were away from us. Every single one of the staff members we interacted with were superb, and second to none. It almost feels like a disservice to focus on one staff member more than the others (because they are all that amazing), but we must give a very special shoutout to our pups’ main trainer - Isaac. It would take a million years to say or write all of the phenomenal things we could say about Isaac. Not only is he the greatest trainer that anyone could ever dream up (if you tried to construct the perfect dog trainer in your mind), but he is a stellar human with the attitude, discipline, organization, follow-through, and drive to be able to succeed at the highest levels in anything in life. We can all be grateful (especially our dogs) that he decided to put his talents toward training animals. The training that our pups received over the weeks that they were with Isaac and the Doggie Do Good team was nothing short of transformative. When we dropped them up, they were rescue puppies who had been through quite a long and difficult journey on their way to being our fur children and were untrained and anxious (particularly with respect to being separated from us). They emerged from Doggie Do Good with more confidence than we have ever seen in most adult dogs, completely obedient of the practical and easily-enforceable commands that they had been taught, and with beautiful personalities that were endemic of the amount of love they had received every day since we dropped them off. After you receive your dogs post-training (at their facility or at your home via their amazing drop-off service), you may expect that your training experience/relationship with a service like this would end. We are thrilled to report that that is not the case with Doggie Do Good. It’s quite the opposite. When your pups finish “camp”, you all become part of the DDG extended family, and the staff and trainers (like Isaac for us) continue to check in with you regularly to see how your dogs are adapting and progressing. Again, you can clearly tell how much love exists with Doggie Do Good because the staff genuinely misses being around your pup(s) after they return them to you. We could not recommend Doggie Do Good more highly, no matter what your dog’s needs might be, and we genuinely cannot wait to have our pups spend more time there (yet another one of their endless perks) if/when we ever need to take an international trip or if a necessity or opportunity arises.

Doggie Do Good is amazing! They have transformed our puppy into a puppy that listens. They have been great training for us and our puppy so that we are able to communicate with him. Thank you, Doggie Do Good!

We do not have our service dog yet but I just HAVE to write a review. Destiny is so amazing. She does an AMAZING job running the service dog program. I email her so much and she NEVER seems annoyed and is always happy to answer my questions. We looked at lots of service dog organizations and none of them were like Doggie Do good. We can not wait to add our doggie to the family!
