I had GooddogOC work with my wheaten terrier George and they helped him make strides in his behavior! George is so much better to deal with now and I'm grateful for GooddogOC!

We are incredibly pleased with the results from Adam and his team's training! Our 14-month old Golden Retriever started to respond to the commands within days of starting the sessions. The training process and approach seemed very well-thought out and tailored to each dog. Highly recommended for anyone in Orange County!

I don’t know what we would have done without Adam and Good Dog OC! We adopted our 1 year old Siberian Husky Varian from the shelter and within a few months, his behavioral problems started to show. He would snap at us, was aggressive with other dogs and had ran away 3 times (a common husky issue). We had worked with other trainers to help remedy these issues, but it didn’t work. After 8 months with barely any results, we found Good Dog OC. Adam had Varian listening to commands, heeling, and making friends with other dogs within ONE WEEK. A husky that can be off leash is so uncommon, but our husky can be off leash now and comes back the minute you say come. And the best thing is that Varian still had his goofy personality that we fell in love with, but was actually listening to us now! Even after the training was finished, Adam would still answer any questions we had and offered to help at any time. If you ever needed help with your fur babies, I can not recommend Good Dog OC enough!

Well, what can I say..... The GoodDogOC totally changed our lives! We have a rescue pitbull blue nose who is 3 y/o now and has been with us for 2.5 years. Unfortunately, we did not socialize him when he was a puppy. But he grew up with his brother from another mother lol who passed away a few months ago. Our Rex has not been friendly with people (except us) and also showed so much anxiety and aggression towards other dogs. It was a nightmare to walk him! He was pulling a lot and for me - his mom who is 120lbs - it was impossible to walk Rex who is 95lbs😂🤦🏼‍♀️ We almost gave up at some point that our dog will be able to listen to us and be more friendly. But God sent us GoodDogOC🙏 OMG!!! These guys showed us and Rex what a real Good Dog Life Is!! The results are amazing! Now we both can walk Rex, he is not pulling anymore, he is just walking right next to us, he follows all the commands, he allows people to come close and even pet him (which was IMPOSSIBLE before the training), and the most important thing that Rex enjoys his New Good Dog Life as much as we do! We can’t thank Adam and the whole team enough for bringing us joy and happiness, for their efforts and so much patience with our “difficult case”😂👍🏼 The price is very reasonable for what they do! Totally worth it! If you and your furry friend haven’t started to live a GoodDog Life, we highly recommend you do!🐾

To be honest I’m not quite sure where to begin other than it all started with a free consult. Our dog Duke is a 4/5 year old adopted Am Staff terrier who we believe was probably abused at some point in his life. He has a hard time trusting certain people and definitely has some serious dog reactivity & occasional dog aggression issues. Over the last year we have spent thousands of dollars in training, countless hours working with various trainers, emotionally invested nights and even to the point of tears and wondering if we would ever have a dog we could simply walk without ripping our arm off, pulling me over or being too aggressive in certain situations. We were at one point told “just put him down, he will never change”. Then we met Adam and our lives literally changed. You see, Adam isn’t just in the “dog training industry” he’s in the business of changing the dynamics of families and literally is the greatest blessing we’ve ever come across. From day 1 he said he will NEVER reprogram or rewire dukes brain but he will positive enforce behaviors that we WANT while slowly removing those we don’t by constant praise and rewards via affection. Duke LOVED Adam from day 1. After 3 weeks of intensive training with Adam and his rockstar partner Kara, we embarked on our journey walking and working with him every day. 20 minutes is all it takes. Some days more, some days less. But consistency is key. And we can honestly say we have hit a breakthrough with our dog. Although i don’t believe duke will ever be the neighborhood dog that the world comes over and pets & we are still cautious in certain situations i Can say confidently that i can walk my dog directly by my side and in various distraction settings. My husband was hesitant in the cost when i first told him about Adam. I promised I would work overtime to cover it and he wouldn’t see it come out of his pocket. I can say 100% honestly i would’ve paid double, even triple. It has been worth EVERY single penny. Duke is far from perfect but the progress he has made, the improvements in his behavior. His obedience. His leash mannerisms. His mellow ness it’s been worth every single time we were told he will never be a good dog, it’s been worth every tear and it’s been worth every minute invested in his training. From the bottom of our heart, thank you Adam and Kara for giving us the tips & tricks to truly have a Good Dog.
