Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Positive Reinforcement Only
Good Citizen K9 offers several training programs tailored to different needs. Their One-on-One Training package consists of private weekly sessions with the dog and owner, ideal for improving docility and addressing specific behavioral issues.
They also provide Board & Train programs where dogs stay at their facility. The 2 Week Board & Train program involves dogs being trained and exercised a minimum of three times per day, designed for owners who prefer the trainers to handle the intensive work.
The 3 Week Board & Train is their flagship program, preparing dogs for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification evaluation. This program focuses on more advanced household manners and correcting specific behavioral issues. The most comprehensive option is the 4 Week Board & Train, which provides four full weeks of obedience training and behavioral modification with personalized exercises, suitable for all dogs regardless of learning capacity or temperament.

Testimonials
“I rescued an abused dog who was very skittish and nervous all the time. I brought him to Damon and I was blown away by the results. Damon’s patient and gentle demeanor helped my dog gain confidence and come out of his shell. He’s a different dog! I’m so grateful for Good Citizen K9!”
– Marie B.
“Damon helped fix some issues I was having with my hyper Golden Retriever. I’ve never raised a puppy before so he helped explain things thoroughly and had unlimited patience with me as well as my dog. His methods make sense and are highly efficient!”
– Katie M.
“Amazing trainer! My dog did a two week program and not only does Damon work with the dog, he makes sure to train you as well. It has been over a year since Emerson completed her training and it has stuck with her! I have never had a dog leash trained this well. Highly recommend. Greater trainer and customer service.”
– Kaylea H.
