Working with Lindsey at GoodDogHappyDog has changed our lives in a very positive way! I adopted Gilda, a very strong, lab/pitty mix, from Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. When I realized I needed help with her leash reactivity and seeming refusal to respond to my requests, Muttville recommended I contact Lindsey. I am so grateful to her because she was patient, knowledgeable and, most importantly, supportive of me. She saw what a great dog Gilda is and gave us the tools we needed to succeed. I was afraid I would never be able to enjoy outings with Gilda but we now enjoy walks and trips to Stern Grove where Gilda happily interacts with every dog she meets! In addition, Lindsey had some great recommendations for harnesses, chew toys and other types of equipment that have made life at home more enjoyable. Thank you, Lindsey!

I would highly recommend Lindsay's dog training services more. She is a very compassionate and calming individual for both dogs and humans. My partner and I had a lot of difficultly acclimating our 10 month old Jindo rescue to the urban environment. Lindsay immediately established a rapport with him while respecting his boundaries and helped us build his confidence. She also provided us with valuable advice so we could feel confident in progressing his training on our own. We would gladly use her services again for any future additions to our family.

We cannot recommend Lindsay enough! We started working with her to help our dog, Max, with his reactivity toward other dogs in our building and neighborhood. Lindsay taught us practical and effective techniques that transformed how we handle stressful encounters.
Beyond reactivity, Lindsay helped us with separation issues because she understood our dog and his needs. Lindsay is kind, professional, and clearly loves the pups she works with. If you are looking for a trainer who uses positive, science-based methods, she is the best!

We have been working with Lindsay since we brought home our puppy, Clover, about five months ago. Lindsay is amazing! She is patient, knowledgeable, and so helpful. Clover is a bit of an anxious girl and we are first time puppy parents, but Lindsay has provided really helpful insights and tips to help us help Clover become the happiest pup she can be in this busy city. If you are looking for a great dog trainer in San Francisco who really understands dogs, I highly recommend reaching out to Lindsay.

Lindsay is the best! It's clear she really loves what she does and worked to understand my dog's particular anxieties. Lindsay helped with my dog's reactivity to skateboards and scooters so our walks are now much less stressful. I always look forward to our training sessions. Highly recommend!
