Positive dog training for happy dogs and happy owners
because dog training should be fun
Thanks for all your advice, the lessons were great. Also, thought I would let you know that we had instant success with your advice of stopping Dobby barking while we eat. We have him sit on his bed with or without a bone, and he does not bark at us!! Seems happy just to lie there with us. Thanks again, Rachel and Flynn
Thanks so much for a very enjoyable party. The kids were still talking about it at school. They loved the tricks you guys were teaching them and their pooches. Thanks again. CheersMel
Cobby before a goodog visit!
Cobby is going well; he is being exercised every day, a nice run in the morning and likes to sleep for the rest of the day! He seems to have relaxed a bit and kids are armed with treats and how to behave around the dog. Obviously he is maturing and getting better in his old age. Behaving well at the park and coming back when he's asked to, yay! So far, so good. Thanks for your expert tips! Talk soon Tania
Thank you so much for a wonderful course that made such a difference to Roxy and her fans. Thanking you again and hope to continue training using your philosophy and role modelling. Roxy’s family.
Just a short note to you both, Lorna & Barbara, & Andrew on how much we enjoyed the Advanced Class. So much that I think we will be re-enrolling for the next series of Advanced Manners in coming weeks. Please keep us in mind! Our best regards as always. Stephen, Susanne & Dylan
Thanks so much to both Barbara & yourself for helping us understand the wonderful world of Niila a little more – it’s been a joy to watch her confidence grow over the past few weeks! Indie and Ben
We are really pleased that the hardwork and patience is paying off. Your help and advice has been very encouraging for us both. Chloe is enjoying her new found freedom on the extra long lead! Thanks again Myra
We, as a family, would like to thank you for a great course. We did training with our last dog but that was 14 years ago and we can’t get over how different things are now. Lynette, Andreas, Martin, Bradley, George & Phoenix
Thank you so much. It has only been 2 nights but Brent and I feel human again. We have put him back in his crate (he has been out of it for 4 weeks). We have been waking him up at 6am. We have increased training just before bed and put him in a smaller darker place to sleep. Not sure which one worked but we are sticking to it. Thanks again the well rested van Vuuren family
Having a Labrador puppy can be a bit of a challenge at times. We had done a lot of research prior to buying a puppy and were well aware that the first 4 months of Cooper's life would have significant impact on his nature forever. The five week Goodog course provided real life scenarios for the puppies (and owners) to experience in a controlled environment. We could see Cooper's confidence grow and our bond develop throughout the course. We enjoyed and got so much out of the course that we enrolled in the Goodog advanced course to continue training. Lorna and Barbara were excellent with their training techniques and we now have a confident puppy that is a pleasure to take out with us.
Megs is almost a pro on her tricks now! Thanks again, we really enjoyed the classes and Meg is far more confident now around people and other dogs
Flynn: Thank you for all your help. Three weeks ago our little rescue didn't know his name let alone any tricks. Thanks to you and Barbara we are so far ahead now than if we tried doing this alone.
