Good Dawg Training LLC

We enrolled our dog Dexter in a multi-week training program with Good Dawg Training, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Colette made an incredible impression, not just as a skilled trainer, but as someone who genuinely understands dogs on a deeper level. Dexter is a rescue and came to us with anxiety and some behavioral challenges, especially around food and interacting with our other dog, Batman. What stood out most about Colette’s approach is that she didn’t just “train” Dexter, she helped us understand him. She took the time to explain his behaviors, what was driving them, and how we could communicate with him in a way that made him feel safe and confident. Through her guidance, Dexter has made huge progress. He’s noticeably calmer, more secure, and, most importantly, able to coexist peacefully with Batman, even during feeding time, which used to be a stressful situation. The transformation has been incredible to witness. Colette also helped us grow as dog owners. We learned how to read Dexter better, respond more effectively, and build a stronger, more trusting relationship with him. It feels like we’re finally speaking the same language. Dexter absolutely adored her, which says a lot. You can tell she builds real connections with the dogs she works with, and that trust makes all the difference. We are so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Good Dawg Training, especially Colette, to anyone looking for not just obedience training, but a deeper understanding of their dog and a more harmonious home.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Colette for our Boston Terrier puppy! Over the 8-week training package, she taught us so many practical tips and techniques that built a rock-solid foundation for our pup—and for us as new dog owners. Colette was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made every session fun and stress-free for both us and our pup. We also loved attending her “yappy hours” and the sniffari zone—our little one made a beeline for it every single visit and had the best time exploring! We’ve already noticed impressive progress in her behavior and confidence, and we feel equipped and excited as dog parents. We doubt we’ll need more sessions anytime soon, but if we do, Colette will be our first call. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

I'm so very happy that I found Good Dawg Training. Colette is so kind, patient and knowledgeable and has helped my shy, nervous, little rescue dog so much. Colette's positive reinforcement and expertise has made all the difference for my little dog. She has taught us so much and I am a better guardian for my dog with everything I have learned from Colette. I highly recommend Good Dawg Training to everyone seeking training for their dogs.

Collette at Good Dawg is the best! She is so kind, and clearly loves dogs and what she does. We started working with her when we rescued a 15 week old puppy, and she breaks her instruction down into clear, digestible steps that really do work. She has also been wonderfully flexible in accommodating us when we were unable to make class due to puppy medical issues. I see real progress with our dog, Tonka (and us humans too), and also see Collette as being part of raising a happy, polite, canine citizen in the long term.

I wanted to share my amazing experience with Collette at “Good Dawg Training”. Having had some previous training done with my dog Snowey, it was so impressive to watch Collette work with her and reach a whole new level of trained behavior . What also made a huge difference was that Collette also trained me at the same time. Our dog is now a certified psychiatric Service Dog and can now fly on a plane with us to our home abroad. Thankyou Collette
