I have to echo all the rave reviews for Janet and the variety of classes offered through Good Dog…read more Like others have said, she changed our lives and our relationship with our dog. We learned so many important things through her private training and the puppy socialization course. She turned our puppy into our friend who turned into a family member who turned into our first child! Within the first week of receiving our Beabull puppy (3/4 English Bulldog, 1/4 Beagle) two years ago, she began to behave obnoxiously dominant. She would attack my ankles any time we would play, if we tried to hold her down to show our dominance she would NEVER tire of scratching our arms until they were bloodied and bruised, she would do the opposite of everything we asked/showed, and she humped me all the time. There were times that I would cry on the couch because of her behavior, and times my husband confessed that coming home felt like more work than his actual job because of he could never just relax with our dog acting out nonstop. Janet came to our home and made our jaws drop, as her presence changed our dog's behavior immediately. She never lost her patience and taught me how to assert dominance easily. Her guidance rewards good behavior and helped us feel mounds more confident when faced with difficult moments. Our frustration decreased steadily and our pup slowly began to treat us with respect and love. She stopped attacking my heels within a day, and let us hold her down/put our hands in and on her mouth/ears/paws quickly. The humping has stopped over time and she listens very well. I never cried because of my dog after we were helped by Janet. I also recommend so highly the Puppy Socialization class. Aside from our wee one learning sit, down, shake, stay, come and how to walk on a leash better, she made some puppy friends and overcame her shyness around bigger dogs by the end of the course. We were also introduced to the agility/games course which was SO MUCH FUN! We noticed a big change in our dog's confidence and also loyalty to us as we built our bond through training. Additionally, all the staff seems very in tune with each dogs individual needs and never let anyone feel embarrassed or unwelcome because of a misbehavior. Good Dog Training was the catalyst for positive behavior with our dog. I credit the staff and Janet for teaching us how to become amazing parents to our pup and for giving our girl confidence and a conscience.

I was in search of a dog walker who was compassionate, well informed, and genuinely passionate about taking care of dogs (to soothe both my dog's anxiety and my own!). The trend these days is to use dog walking apps for supposed convenience and many people recommended these to me - but I had a gut feeling that Frida would benefit most from working with a consistent walker - someone who was interested in getting to know her quirks and to form a relationship that might improve her anxiety while I was at work. After just a couple weeks of daily visits and walks with Kris, Frida stopped chewing her paws completely and continues to appear much happier and more at ease when I come home from work each day. As of this month, we have been working with Kris at CAP for almost 3 months. BONUS - her walking on leash has improved immensely too! And in terms of convenience and correspondence, Kris is easy to reach, easy to talk to, affordable, very knowledgeable about dogs and her business, and provides fun photos and updates about their daily visits as they are happening :) Choosing Capital Area Pups and allowing Frida to build a positive, reliable, fun-loving relationship with Kris has improved her quality of life - what more could one ask for in a dog walker!?

It was a long period, so I was really considerate and careful when choosing the dog sitter. Then I met Sasha and she completely gained my trust! She offered to meet before the actual date to get to know my pup. She took the schedule and every instruction I gave her seriously and she stick to it! I honestly can not do a better job myself. Of course Sasha gave me up to date on my puppy everyday (she took amazing pictures lol). Tbh I was even a bit jealous to see Bim having so much fun with her :D One HUGE bonus point: Bim actually gets better with commands and he even learns some new tricks!!
