Karen Falciani, owner of Good Dog Concept Training, has been a professional resource for me. Karen is knowledgeable and responsive to her clients. As the owner of a 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier, I am always looking for new ways to engage Neo and keep him fit. Karen recommended supplements that I am currently using to help Neo with senior joint discomfort. She has taught me how to play games with Neo to keep his brain challenged. I highly recommend Good Dog Concept Training as a reliable, training resource for you and your pet.

Karen has helped both my dog and me through her calm and insightful, and encouraging manner. I would highly recommend private lessons to work on behavior issues. Karen has an endless supply of ideas to engage the dog. We have seen a positive change, and will continue to use her ideas.

Jagger can be aggressive with other dogs and certain people and I'm so pleased that he's making such good progress with his issues. Even my friends can see the difference in his demeanor. Thank you, Karen!

Karen is awesome! She is extremely knowledgeable about why dogs behave the way they do and the science behind it. She has taught me (and my dog Luna!) so many valuable games, exercises, and training techniques that have really made a difference. From my time working with Karen, I have seen a definite improvement in my dog’s behavior and I have become more confident in what to do if unwanted behaviors should arise. I will definitely take all I have learned from Karen and continue to work and use it in the future!

I enrolled my 8 week old puppy into Karen's class and have been extremely pleased with the progress we've made! The classes are easy to fit into your busy schedule with zoom calls and virtual training and the handouts provide a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend!
