FirstBarkOur experience with Colette at Good Dawg was fantastic. She is patient, knowledgeable, gets our dog, and is very good at pinpointing the problem in the moment, which is usually not the dog! We plan to continue to see Colette for her great training.

Colette is by far the most knowledgeable, caring, intuitive dog trainer we have ever met. Within 5 minutes of observing our very anxious 7 year old poodle mix, she was able to completely describe everything going on with our dog's emotional state. She has been instrumental in guiding us through a family crisis of an anxious dog struggling with us having a child. If we did not have Good Dawg Training at this time, I don't know what we would do. Good Dawg Training comes expertly recommended by the top behavioral doctor at the UC DAVIS behavioral science department. Good Dawg Training is 1 of only 3 trainers trusted by UC DAVIS in the entire North Bay Area. If you have a new puppy or an older dog like us, do not hesitate to book here. We made the mistake of putting our puppy in a local training program where she stayed there for 1 week- we found out later they use negative punishment and it only made our dogs anxiety worse. I highly recommend avoiding this route of a group training program like this and working with Colette individually.

We came to Colette with a reactive, insecure dog (Louie) who would bark and charge at my partner when I was home. I had an idea if why our dog was doing this but didn't know how to help him. Colette was really great with our dog, and explaining to us his behavior, the goal of training, what were were supposed to do and why we were doing it. This wasn't obedience, this was changing behavior and helping our dog navigate through his fears. We now have a bunch of tools to help him and are already seeing improvement after a month and a half! We will be back if we ever need help again, and I've already recommended Colette to some of my own pet sitting clients. Louie says thank you!!!

We cannot recommend Good Dawg Training enough! We looked at quite a few canine training facilities in Sonoma County and the atmosphere and training approach of Good Dawg was unmatched. Colette is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She was even willing to work with our young son so he could participate in the training process. We also appreciated that she was willing to meet our dog where she was and be patient with her progress. Look no further - Good Dawg Training is the best in Sonoma County!
If you are looking for results with your training, go to Collette! She teaches you all the basics and more! My puppy went from being crazy to calm and attentive in a short amount of time. Her positive method is easy to do at home and on the go with just a few minutes of reinforcement through out the day. Plus Teddy loves his training sessions! I highly recommend Good Dawg dog training.
