Good Dog Happy Dog LLC

Good Dog Happy Dog offers a comprehensive program designed to address complex behavioral challenges and promote the overall behavioral health of dogs. Their services are tailored to help both dogs and their owners thrive, focusing on individualized needs.

They utilize a modern, science-based approach that emphasizes teaching and reinforcing appropriate behaviors, rather than using fear or punishment. The business explicitly prohibits the use of shock, prong, choke, or other outdated and abusive training methods.

Specific issues addressed include reactivity (barking and lunging), hyperarousal (rambunctiousness, pulling, jumping, inability to calm down), fearfulness in puppies (struggling in group classes, new environments), and sensitivity in dogs (struggling in busy cities, refusing walks, worried about guests, alert barking). The goal is to help create a confident, well-mannered companion dog.

Good Dog Happy Dog LLC helps dog owners and their dogs navigate complex behavioral challenges, aiming for both to thrive. They offer a comprehensive program focused on the behavioral health of dogs, ensuring a fun experience for both ends of the leash.

Their approach is modern and science-based, creating confident, well-mannered dogs through positive reinforcement. They explicitly state that no harsh methods, such as shock, prong, or choke collars, are used or tolerated. They believe every dog is unique and create customized plans based on individualized needs.

They specialize in helping reactive dogs that bark and lunge, hyperarousal dogs that are rambunctious or can’t calm down, worried puppies struggling with fear, and sensitive dogs overwhelmed by city environments or guests. Lindsay Dellas, the trainer, is noted for making training fun and helping dogs become confident, happy city companions.
