Welcome to GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 where your dog can learn all the skills necessary to thrive with their human families. Whilst dogs have been bred to live with us for many, many years we can’t discount the fact they were once wild scavengers and still enjoy hobbies like bin raiding, people drag racing and legging it after squirrels!

Dogs don’t come knowing the key skills needed to be a Good Boy or Girl and just like young children, they need teachers to show them the way.

In GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 we start to teach your dog how to be the goodest boy or girl your family could wish for including:

• Sitting and staying when asked
• Settling and chilling when asked
• Coming back even when there are squirrels
• Walking with the person on the end of the lead, and not pulling them like the huskies they saw on the Christmas advert on the Telly Box
• Being the best and fastest dog at fetch in the dog park
• Leaving stuff when their person says, even when it's the tastiest snack in the hands of a human puppy
• Listening to your every word
• Doing simple tricks to prove to your neighbours and friends they really are the goodest boy or girl in town

Of course, this will require a little effort from you too. Like any parent, showing your dog the way is the key to your dog graduating from the Good Dog level 1 class. In this class we have squished lessons into short 5 minute daily sessions Monday - Friday. Commit to just 5 minutes a day and marvel at the results.

Who are we...

The Good Dog Academy is a training school for dogs that was set up in Marathon in May 2018. I offer one to one lessons and can provide this service both on and offline. I specialize in making training fun for both dog and guardian, seeking solutions that are effective, modern and backed by science. I have made the ethical choice to never use fear or pain to train a dog. Instead I use motivational techniques such as using markers, food, toys and fun to train your dog.

My physical location is Rouse Lake, just outside Marathon. Whilst most of my work is in the local area I have online solutions, which have proved to be very successful, that allow me to provide help and support to anyone, wherever they live.

Of course, online courses allow you to train at anytime, but I am available personally to support you from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST(Toronto) time.

If you would like to find out how I can best help you and your dog, take a look at my online courses or contact me directly via my website.
