We fell in love with and adopted a snuggly puppy ... and quickly realized we were in over our heads. We'd never had a puppy, much less a people-reactive dog, or one that looooooved playing with other dogs so much. Thank goodness we found Good Dog to help us learn the science behind his reactivity, how to build a daily life that works for us and him, and how to read dog behavior (because not all dogs love him as much as he loves them).
But perhaps the best part of all is having a whole team of humans who understand our little guy and love him as much as we do. Big thanks to Cam, Archie, Kailey, Maggie, Cait, and the whole team for (a) making the... read full review

We took our puppy Rumi to Good Dog STL four years ago, with the hopes of her becoming a therapy dog. She started at 12 weeks in their 4 week boot camp, where she got to socialize and learn to play with other pups.

Good Dog has helped our Finny so much. She is a scared girl who is very dog reactive and would even snap at/bite us when we would walk her and encounter another dog. It’s been almost a year since she has snapped at us now and overall her fear and anxiety has decreased a ton. We love all the the trainers who have patiently worked with her - force free training is the only way my scared girl was going to learn new behaviors and coping skills. I highly recommend Good Dog to anyone who is struggling with a dog reactive pup.
