What people have asked about this business.
My dog is around 4 years old. We have to keep him on a leash in the yard he has plenty of room and plenty of leash but we can't let him just go and roam outside like the other dogs bc he leaves yard can you help?
Hi Kelsey: Yes, we can talk to you about boundary training. Feel free to call 256-890-1234 to discuss some options. Thanks for getting in touch!
I have a 4mo old gsdmix, he barks alot, nips,and jumps at everything. Will y'all be able to help me that?
While you dog is still young is a great time to begin to address these problems! We have a rescue dog, also a GSD mix, that we got when he was about two years old. Having the help of a professional trainer made it possible for us to keep and retrain him. It was hard but worth it!

I have my 5mo GSD in their puppy kindergarten and Nichole is great helping with my pup
I have puppies that I would like to give to place for they can be train for someone . How do I go by giving them to a place of service.
Hi Martha: I’m sorry but I don’t know of any organizations that take owner turn in dogs for training. You could try the local rescues to see if they can help you re-home them.
We just got our pup we know nothing about him but we need help from kitty training to obedience. How much will this cost? And how long does it take?
First off, I loved this dog school..A+ A+ A+😃. U will not be disappointed. I enrolled my dog Lucy because I could already tell she was pretty smart & was a fast learner on the basic little things I was teaching her @ home. There weren't any behavior issues 4 us 2 have 2 overcome, so that was a good foundation 2 build on. When Lucy & I signed up, we went through the Kindergarten Class (sort of like pre-school 4 dogs). Then after we graduated we signed up 4 the Elementary Class...sort of like being a 1st or 2nd grader. The K class was about 5 weeks @ reasonably priced, the E class ran 4 weeks & involved field trips 4 teaching socialization. Class size was 3 -4 dogs w/owners and 1 teacher 4 the group. We had Miss Callie & she was knowledgeable, attentive, completely open to questions & explanations. We had homework printouts for practice & to be ready 4 class (one day per week). If it pup is only 8-10 weeks old, I'm pretty sure the have some kind of new beginners lessons....

Hi Ann: Our group classes are $99 for the 5 week session. You can also get more info at our website www.suchagooddog.com.
Do you do service dog/emotional support dog training?
Hi Becca: We do all the obedience training necessary for SDs and can administer the public access test, but not the task specific behaviors. Emotional Support dogs do not require any specific training--they're basically pet dogs that allow you to live/lodge in places that do not allow dogs if you have a "need" letter from your provider. https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html
My dog is a little over a year. He's very eager to learn but is high energy. He gets a little mouthy. He also jumps on people alot. If I came in could you help me with that?
By taking one of mine in, he really learned a lot. I felt it was totally worth it and have recommended to others. It was fun to watch the other dogs learn too.

She can work miracles with dogs. No doubt she can stop the jumping.
Community answer · Michael Morgan · 2022-09-21
There were 3 other dogs in the class that my service dog in training Buck was in. They all were very high energy and jumped up on people. By the end of the elementary class they were all like completely different dogs and would only get better if they continue on with the intermediate class.
Community answer · Rick “OEF_OIF_VET68” Long · 2019-09-21
We'd be happy to help. If he's fine with strange dogs and strange people I think a group class--Elementary for his age-- would be a good start.
Community answer · Such A Good Dog · 2019-09-21
I just need some help so my dog Dale can start his service training.
My dog is very hyper active and uncontrollable it seems, i have tried to train him but maybe i just don’t know how, if i bring him here do you think it would help any? or is there other alternatives i should take?
Potty training and barking has been the main issues with him. I’ll try it out! Thank you!
Community answer · Alexis Smith · 2019-09-21
Hi Alexis: There are lots of techniques for high energy dogs to gain focus, and getting those extra tools may be what you need. If your dog has no trouble (aggression, fear) of strange people and strange dogs then a group class would be a good place to start.
Community answer · Such A Good Dog · 2019-09-21
I have no doubt they can help. Give her a try, you will be surprised how quickly she can help.
I have a 1 1/2 year old golden doodle that is wonderful around my kids. But when other kids or adults come over...he's aggressive. Recommendations?? Will this training help??
I would ask about private sessions. The trainers will know how to help with this behavior.

The trainers at Such a Good Dog are really good and feel most dogs can be trained. They will definitely answer your questions in person or with a phone call. But my Anatolian shepherd did great with the first class and we will probably be going back for the subsequent training.

We had an in-home session with Mary Ellen and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She addressed every question and concern about how to best train our rescue Weimaraner pup. She walked us through each command and response for the scenarios that we discussed and was a wealth of knowledge and experience. The bonus of having her in our home to practice in our dog’s known environment was invaluable. Scheduling was super easy and communication has been responsive and clear from the start. We will definitely be scheduling with them again!!

It’s been a very long time since we’ve had a puppy in our home so it came with a few challenges. So we decided to find a trainer to ask questions and to get on track to say we hit the gold mine with Nicole and “such a good dog”. Her training not only with the puppy, but with us is phenomenal. We were taking a weeklong Trip and was not sure how to handle the puppy. I reached out to the staff, asked my questions and decided that we were going to try the training and boarding. We had never done anything like this Being a nervous Nelly parent Nicole definitely put me at ease. I I got daily pictures, video updates & when I felt nervous I sent a text and got a response very quickly. The puppy had a fantastic time. The amount of training and effort that went into his weeklong training is fantastic. He is more confident he is more alert. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience for us.

I was so happy with the board and train for Rocco. Nicole is a great trainer and communicated with my daily and sent videos to show progression the entire time. My dog came home knowing all the commands that I asked for and continues to improve with practice. I highly recommend Such A Good Dog!

I would recommend Such A Good Dog to ANY dog owner!!! I just finished up puppy kindergarten with my girl and she did learned so much! It’s a great way to get the basics down in a controlled environment where you have an expert to keep you on the right track. I plan on completing every single class they offer with my dog!!
