Woo hoo!!! That what I think of when I think Good Dog Coaching…read more
I somehow inherited a pit mix puppy a few months ago. At the ripe age of two months, everyone kept scaring me that pits have an aggressive temperament, and needed to be trained early. My dear Penguin was far from aggressive. Yes he is a rambunctious puppy, who loves EVERYONE, but def not aggressive. Due to potty training and basic manners, I did call out to many trainers. Unfortunately, there were one too many trainers out there that would not give Penguin a chance because he was a partial pit. One of the training places gave me the information to Good Dog Coaching and let us know that she works with dogs of all breeds, and they were correct.
I called Terri, set up an interview, and our relationship flourished from there. She brought a whole bunch of energy and positive reinforcement for my lil pup. WOO HOO with every command he got right. Each training session wasn't a pre-outlined session, it was individualized on Penguin's weekly behavior. Correcting bad behavior and praising the good. Needless to say, our pup is 7.5 months old, potty trained, crate trained, can sit, down, walk on a leash, and stay in place. He is still a pup, so we are working on training him not to jump on people, but she gave us a great working foundation. She trained us (BF and I) how to appropriately communicate with our pup to ensure the greatest outcome. She taught us how to set him up for success. She comes with a great knowledge base when it comes to training, and just flat out loving your fur-baby. She provided nutritional advice. Natural flea/tick remedy advice, etc etc. Overall, Good Dog Coaching is the way to go!!!
This company also provides other services which are worth checking out. I personally utilized the private dog boarding service. This is the same concept as bringing your child to grandma's house, so she can watch him/her for the weekend. You go for an initial interview to the home of the sitter. If all works out, you can board your fur-baby at their HOME. So this is a little more intimate then those indoor-outdoor camps. They are watched closely, treated like family, and well taken care of. Another good part about this is that there can only be so many fur-babies at once, so prevents overcrowding. A tad on the pricey side, but would def do it again.
For any training, boarding, pet-sitting, private boarding, your own in-home boarding.... I mean they have it all, just check out their website and browse through the services. I'm pretty sure if you are a mama in need of some fur-baby help, there is something this company has to offer. Enjoy!!
