Good Dog Academy Dog Training Philosophy
You cherish the unconditional love your dog brings to your life...
Your well-mannered companion dog will become an integral family member that will be included in daily activities at your home and out in public. Good Dog Academy is committed to helping you create lifelong relationships with your dogs based on trust and mutual respect. The training philosophy we espouse is to do no harm, to catch your dog doing something good, and to effectively communicate your expectations to the dog without force.
Originally schooled in traditional, correction- based training methods, Gila found that humane, positive training techniques were more fun and yielded faster results for both humans and dogs. Good Dog Academy believes in setting your dog up for success rather than punishing or correcting it for making a wrong decision. Rewards-based training enhances the human-dog bond, fosters trust, and allows your dog to become an active participant in the training process.
