Testimonials
I have known Linda for several years now. We discuss dog training, dog and puppy management and training techniques regularly. Linda is an excellent dog trainer and I feel very confident referring her to anyone looking for any dog or puppy training for everything from basic obedience to problem solving solutions. Linda is kind, honest and has a heart of gold. She uses positive reinforcement training and creates a training plan for each individual clients needs. I trust Linda explicitly with the care and handling of my own dogs (If you know me, you know I don’t trust just anyone caring for or handling my dogs)! That in itself tells you how much confidence I have in Linda. I give Linda my highest of recommendations for anyone looking for a dog trainer.

We had our husky mix stayed with Linda and Daniel for 3 weeks. The work they did with my dog was amazing and she is now an excellent family dog. We highly recommend Good Shepherd obedience training. They are patient, consistent and truly understand my dog.
