Reinforcement-based training - No force or fear used in training

Understanding the Dog Behind the Behavior

Every behavior has a reason. Understanding why your dog behaves the way they do is the first step to

 Why does my dog pull on leash?

Why does my dog bark at everything?

Why can't my dog settle?

Why does my dog ignore recall?

Why is my dog reactive?

Why does my dog have separation anxiety?


These behaviors aren't random. They are often clues about your dog's needs, 

emotions, experiences, and instincts.


At Good Dawg Training, we look beyond the behavior itself to help you understand why it is happening and how to create lasting change through positive reinforcement, enrichment, confidence-building, and practical everyday training.


  Based in Santa Rosa, California, Good Dawg Training welcomes dogs and their families from throughout Sonoma County for private coaching, Puppy Start Right, Yappy Hour, behavior assessments, and Area Search.  

Our Training Pathways

    Personalized training because ONE-SIZE-FITS-NONE

    Every dog is different, so training should be flexible to support their learning goals and also suit your needs and lifestyle.
    I teach you to understand your dog, the motivation behind their behavior, and how to apply our training practically in your everyday life. Good dog training is an investment in your future.
