Lucky Dog Company is a dog training business in Naples, Florida, owned and operated by Mary Baker. Mary has over 15 years of experience working with dogs, starting with the Humane Society of Naples before founding Lucky Dog Company.

The company’s philosophy centers on positive reinforcement and innovative games to help dogs make good choices and develop skills for everyday life. They aim to help people and their dogs build strong, positive relationships and find joy together.

Lucky Dog Company emphasizes small class sizes (3-6 dogs per class) to provide individualized attention, lower stress levels for dogs and owners, and allow more time for specific skill work. They also offer a strong Therapy Dog program and Mary volunteers her training services with a local county animal shelter to assist with challenging dogs.

They explicitly state that they use only positive reinforcement and never physical punishment, correctional actions, prong collars, choke chains, or shock collars. They focus on identifying a dog’s motivators (treats, toys, affection, praise) and using them as rewards for desired behaviors.
