Been sending my dog, Lolo, to good citizen day care for close to a year now. The staff is incredibly professional and you can tell they love what they do.

Been sending my dog, Lolo, to good citizen day care for close to a year now. The staff is incredibly professional and you can tell they love what they do. Lolo went into it being a shy dog, but since going there weekly she has opened up and has a lot more confidence. I also have Lolo currently enrolled in one of their many classes. Deb does a fantastic job of making things simple and fun when it comes to training your dog. Can't recommend them enough!

Love this place. I started at another place and wasn't impressed at all. I went to Good Citizen based on a friend's recommendation and even though it is a bit further for me to drive, it is worth it. I also talked a long time to one of the staff members on the phone. She was super patient on the phone and answered all my questions and then some!! The staff are friendly and best of all they treat all the dogs like they are part of the family there. The owner is super knowledgeable and really wants to see these dogs succeed. At the same time, she doesn't mess around, you must put in the work because when you leave training class for the week, it is on us to keep training, to help our dogs rise to their potential! Our class was so big she added another class to accommodate everyone!

We first met Deborah from Good CitiZEN ten years ago when we adopted a rescue dog, who was extremely anti-social, afraid of everything and growly towards other dogs, he was basically a mess. With Deborah's guidance, we were able to help him work through his challenges using positive reinforcement and praise. He's now 11 years old and is such a great dog with a sweet old man disposition. Our recent addition is a border collie/aussie puppy. 6 months old, full of energy, over social and smart as a whip. It wasn't even a debate of where to take her for obedience training, it was "when can we register her with Deborah." A few weeks in and Karou is already responsive to ZEN, getting her jumping under control, and looking to us for guidance. We're looking forward to the next classes with Deborah and her staff, and we can't recommend enough of her techniques!

Our pup absolutely LOVES Good Citezen Dog and I’m happy to say, his parents do too! We have nothing but goood things to say about this establishment. They are personable and real. Deb and her staff work with you on a level that is fitting for your family, and we’re not treated as a number or as a paycheck. We genuinely feel cared for and like part of the family. They encourage and foster an environment of grace and look after all the pups as if they are their own. Our little family of three would highly recommend Good Citezen Dog to anyone and everyone!
