Jody and her team are incredible! We have learned a tremendous amount about why dogs behave the way they do and are so grateful for the wonderful training for our dog. I was beyond thrilled to find a place where we didn’t have to rely on some outdated and questionable techniques to have the best Go Anywhere Dog!

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
❓ Why do you train puppies off-leash in class?
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.

How much do your puppy training classes cost?

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
How long are classes?
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
What if I can't make a class?
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.

We enrolled our puppy, Maui, in Puppy and Me and all the Life Skills classes at GAD. Maui learned a ton and had a lot of fun, and so did we! Ashley and Emily are terrific trainers. They were always helpful with any questions we had, even if they didn't pertain to the class, and Maui was always so excited to see them. We highly recommend GAD! We will be on the lookout for more GAD opportunities in the future.

We, and our pup, loved the classes and valuable training methods taught at Go Anywhere Dog. We started when our pup was around 4 months and it was a very open and welcoming training program. We had not had a dog in over 14 years and back in the day (20+ years ago) we were trained to manage dog behavior with very old school (harmful) methods. The instruction we received was so helpful in helping us develop the right habits, communication, consistency and care for our puppy. The instructors are excellent at managing the class, communicating the reasoning behind their approach, and providing a welcoming and fun environment. Our dog loved his time there and we look forward to signing up for his/our next level of training. We couldn't recommend them enough!
