Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2026-02-21
❓ Will I feel behind if I join later or work with different trainers?
No. Our program is designed as a cohesive curriculum taught consistently by our entire team. Many experienced dog owners tell us this continuity is what makes our classes feel supportive instead of frustrating, even as puppies move through different levels.
Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2026-02-21
Our off-leash training approach helps puppies learn real-world focus, confidence, and emotional regulation. Because our curriculum is consistent across all trainers and classes, puppies receive clear, predictable guidance — which allows off-leash work to be both safe and effective.

Do you use positive reinforcement training methods?
Absolutely! Our training is all about encouragement, praise, and treats – making learning enjoyable for both dogs and their humans. Every pup deserves a happy learning experience! We teach you about the developmental stages your puppy is in and what is appropriate for your puppy at that stage. When your puppy is ready, we'll add consequences for non-compliance. Those consequences are much like consequences we use with children today. Never ever anything scary, painful or intimidating. We'll never set you up to break trust and crush deepening the bond between you and puppy.

You can sign up for an individual 5-week class for $185, but we recommend checking out our full class packages. By committing to our entire program, you get lots of extra perks including but not limited to:
One-on-one private Zoom consultations with your Dog Life Coach.
One free make-up class per level
Access to the class times that work best for you with VIP registration
Access to our Puppy Nanny, who will pick up your pup and take him to class for you. (Additional cost applies.)
Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2026-01-21
Each class is 45 minutes long. Over the years, we’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot for class length. Your puppy is guaranteed to go home tired, but he won’t be overworked. We’re working around your pup’s developing attention span, and ensuring that he enjoys his time in class.
Community answer · Go Anywhere Dog - Puppy Training School · 2023-09-21
Life happens! Clients who have purchased any of our class packages are eligible for one free make up session per level. They can also call on one of our puppy nannies for an additional fee. We will pick up your puppy and take him to class, where an experienced trainer will bang out reps and give him lots of lovin’. If you have registered for a single class only, we offer make-up sessions when available for an additional $25. If all else fails, you’ll still be able to complete the work at home thanks to our weekly homework and class recap emails.

My yellow lab Hazel took all the classes they offer, and she truly is a go anywhere dog. She’s completed all the classes, and gone on to pass the canine good citizen test and has regular visits to my grandma in a care home. They train the humans as much as they do the dogs, teaching them a gentle approach which pays off in spades. What I really appreciate is their classes are off leash, so the dogs learn the skills in an environment that allows them to learn to listen to you among many distractions. And you get to to go to a brewery for dog class in level 4 😉

Go Anywhere Dog was so helpful for our new very anxious dog Pepperjack to gain confidence and be able to see other dogs as friends. And it helped us as owners learn how to relate to Pepperjack better and learn basic obedience skills. The trainers are very knowledgeable and patient. Would recommend to everyone! And their positive reinforcement techniques are very effective and what I’m most comfortable with and also help keep my bond with my dog strong. Go anywhere and Woof Central daycare is one of Pepperjack’s favorite places to go!

My dog and I took 4 different sets of classes with Go Anywhere Dog, and I found the classes to be very helpful. During his first puppy class, my dog hid under a chair the entire time because he was scared of basically everything. The next week he started to come out of his shell, and gradually started to gain more confidence. I'm really glad I signed up for their classes. My dog still knows all of the commands he was taught during the class, and the commands have been very helpful in raising him. I especially liked that they gave the dogs time at the beginning of each class to socialize with the other dogs and "get the sillies out."

Highly recommend. My puppy was a hyper jumping barking machine! We are now on level 3 training and he is wonderful! He loves going to class and doing his commands.

Thanks to Go Anywhere Dog, my aussiedoodle is so well behaved and I can literally take her anywhere! We learned all the essential commands, how to walk gently on the leash and even a few fun tricks! I cannot recommend Jody and her team more highly! Their use of kind guidance for both dogs and their humans goes such a long way.
