Question on Google
❓ Will I feel behind if I join later or work with different trainers?

No. Our program is designed as a cohesive curriculum taught consistently by our entire team. Many experienced dog owners tell us this continuity is what makes our classes feel supportive instead of frustrating, even as puppies move through different levels.

Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2026-02-21

Question on Google
❓ Why do you train puppies off-leash in class?

Our off-leash training approach helps puppies learn real-world focus, confidence, and emotional regulation. Because our curriculum is consistent across all trainers and classes, puppies receive clear, predictable guidance — which allows off-leash work to be both safe and effective.

Question on Google
Do you use positive reinforcement training methods?

Absolutely! Our training is all about encouragement, praise, and treats – making learning enjoyable for both dogs and their humans. Every pup deserves a happy learning experience! We teach you about the developmental stages your puppy is in and what is appropriate for your puppy at that stage. When your puppy is ready, we'll add consequences for non-compliance. Those consequences are much like consequences we use with children today. Never ever anything scary, painful or intimidating. We'll never set you up to break trust and crush deepening the bond between you and puppy.

Question on Google
How long are classes?

Each class is 45 minutes long. Over the years, we’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot for class length. Your puppy is guaranteed to go home tired, but he won’t be overworked. We’re working around your pup’s developing attention span, and ensuring that he enjoys his time in class.

Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2023-09-21

What if I can't make a class?

Life happens! Clients who have purchased any of our class packages are eligible for one free make up session per level. They can also call on one of our puppy nannies for an additional fee. We will pick up your puppy and take him to class, where an experienced trainer will bang out reps and give him lots of lovin’. If you have registered for a single class only, we offer make-up sessions when available for an additional $25. If all else fails, you’ll still be able to complete the work at home thanks to our weekly homework and class recap emails.

Trainers advised us to essentially give up on our formerly reactive small breed dog, after 1 class. Basically told us she would always be reactive and wouldn’t ever be able to be a “go anywhere” dog. Boy were they wrong. We took our dog to other training facilities that actually helped us resolve the reactivity. Nowadays she’s not reactive in the slightest. We were extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism.

Jody are Ashley are fantastic at what they do! The facility is clean and new. It is a very low stress environment with small class sizes. It’s mostly off leash and divided into two halves. One side is for more shy dogs. The classes really focus on gaining confidence with the first part of class centered around play. Most all of the classes have corresponding online videos which I find very helpful. All around a fresh approach to dog training! Highly recommend! ☮️💕🐾

Both my chihuahuas are truly go-anywhere-dogs thanks to Jody and her team! Having a class with all small breeds really made a world of difference in development and socialization for my little guys. The class structure is unmatched my dogs leave feeling stimulated and happy every week! The new facility in Eden Prairie is incredible; clean, spacious, and the results are worth the (short!) drive from South Minneapolis. Ashley, Jody, and Emily are all a joy to work with and make training fun and accessible—we feel so lucky to have found Go Anywhere Dog!

Sage and I had a wonderful time working with Jody and Ashley in the Life Skills 101 class. Puppy interaction time was active fans encouraging. It was monitored and adjusted as needed to create a positive atmosphere for both playful and shy dogs. Class time examples and 1 on 1 assistance were great. My favorite teaching tool was the excellent website exercises and videos. Bonus for me were the weekly emails with supplemental information. I will be back for more classes. Thank you Ladies.

We have taken Life Skils 101, 201, and 301 with Emily and Ashley and it has been so great for our dog Tempo! He is a little sensitive guy when it comes to meeting new dogs, and they were amazing about helping us getting him acclimated to the class. He made such great friends and it was so fun seeing him play with them each week! Emily and Ashley were always willing to answer our questions, give us training tips, and guide us through each phase of training. Tempo’s impulse control has gotten SO much better. We loved every minute of these classes and only wish there were more we could bring him to!
