I used Anne Pless first when I adopted my pitbull right before COVID In 2020. I didn’t realize the 2 dogs I had at home would be so unwelcoming and it was pure chaos. I called her to come into my home last minute for an emergency training session as I was not going to bring back my dog to the shelter and was determined to make this work. In just that one session she made a world of difference and I did a short board and train with my pit, it took many months of consistency but they have lived happily together since. I have then since adopted my Old English Sheepdog puppy Hugo. My first large dog breed, and I already knew who I wanted to bring him too. I had an 8 day cruise so I decided to do the board and train with them. I am a dog groomer so as someone in this industry, I for one understand time and costs. Their prices are great because their services are beyond that. “EVER DOG IS TRAINABLE”, the owner told me herself. The pet owner HAS to commit to being consistent with the training at home. What they do is absolutely amazing!!!! While on my cruise, I got email updates, photos, videos, voice memos from the trainer, as well as daily reports of what Hugo worked on that day. He was with other dogs, they took him out to public places, the owner even kept on top of brushing him as he is a combination coated dog and needs a weekly brushing or he could get matted. I was so happy when I picked him up and with the results with how smart and well behaved my big goofy puppy was that I started bringing him to daycare there after. As I do know I have a busy schedule and am sometimes tired when I get home, so I know at daycare they will continue working on his training there. They also asked me when I brought him to daycare if there was anything specific I wanted them to work on as far as with his training. I can’t say enough good things about them, the entire team is AMAZING. Shout out to Nikki as she sent me a recording (that she wasn’t aware recorded lol) telling Hugo how much she loved him! This is more than a job to the Good Dog Pet Training team, this is their PASSION! Which is why I will never ever take any of my dogs anywhere else! I highly recommend them. Even if you don’t live in the area, it is worth the 20 minute drive or however far away it is. As convenience never beats quality! I would give them 20 ⭐️ if I could!!!
Good dog pet training is amazing. My dog loves the enrichment program and learns/adjusts to new things all because of these amazing trainers. All staff treat our dogs like they are theirs.
The trainers and staff are amazing - they love my puppers as much as I do!!
I’ve been taking my Dog Bandit to Good Dog Pet Training for over 6 months now. Anne and her team are beyond amazing! I can’t recommend them enough! The best of the best!!!!
