Methods
At Good Dog Society, we’re all about helping you and your dog build a strong, healthy relationship. We use balanced training methods because they give us the flexibility to communicate clearly with dogs, using the full range of operant and classical conditioning, to set everyone up for success.
Balanced training doesn’t mean a 50/50 mix of “yes” and “no,” and it definitely doesn’t mean your dog works for free. Treats are a MUST around here! We believe training should be positive, fair, and fun. With patience, consistency, and plenty of rewards, we help dogs understand what’s expected of them, and help owners feel confident every step of the way.
​
If you’re looking for clear communication, real results, and a training experience that actually makes sense for real-life dogs, Good Dog Society has you covered.
Vision
At Good Dog Society, our vision is to help dogs and their people build clear, respectful, and lasting relationships through balanced, relationship-based training. We believe great dogs are created through trust, structure, and consistency—not quick fixes or one-size-fits-all methods. ​​
​
We are committed to meeting each dog and handler where they are within their training journey by using ethical, humane, and effective training techniques that balance communication, accountability, and compassion. We aim to empower owners with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to lead their dogs successfully in everyday life.​​
​
​Training with us is about more than sit and stay. It’s about connection, confidence, and creating dogs who can handle the real world, and humans who feel proud of the partnership they’ve built. From everyday life skills to AKC sports, our goal is simple: happy dogs, confident handlers, and relationships that actually work.
