Training Philosophy
Good Dog 101 uses positive reinforcement as the training method for teaching. They believe the behavior that is rewarded is more likely to be repeated than the one that is not rewarded. Using these techniques dogs learn to make good choices on which behaviors to repeat.

Customer Reviews
LMS: If you are looking for a fantastic dog trainer, look no further! Vincent has been our trainer for over two years. My dog The Amazing Aida Bella and I have done both group classes and private classes. I recommend doing both types of classes. We have done a variety of classes which are obedience, tricks and agility. Vincent has extensive knowledge working with dogs, using only positive reinforcement techniques. Good Dog 101 has a wonderful atmosphere and a high quality indoor building to train and exercise your dog. Your dog will thank you for going to Good Dog 101 and working with Vincent. I know my dog can't wait to go to training and leaves with a happy grin on her face every time!

We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
