Doggie Do Good

Doggie do good exceeded my expectations! I'm so happy I chose to go here! I was referred by family and Very pleased with the results. Isaac, one of the lead trainers, was VERY patient, helpful, and thorough throughout the whole discharge process. I'm so pleased with everything I experienced at doggie do good. Also, wear sunscreen on discharge day haha, I learned that the hard way!

I was skeptical at first because I didn't want to leave my 2 year old golden retriever but it really paid off. I recently adopted my dog in February and she was a bit out of control and disobedient. I enrolled her in doggy camp and received weekly updates from the staff on her improvement. When I picked her up she was like a brand new dog. I'm glad to say the training stick too she's been well behaved at home but we have been continuing her training for about 10 minutes daily. Her trainers Angelique and Hanna were amazing. The whole staff was courteous and I'm happy it was worth it.

We have sent three of our dogs there for the training camp. A Shitzu, RottiePitt, and a deaf Pitt Bull for training. Our deaf dog was amazingly taught hand signs commands and tested for aggression in which she passed. We feel very comfortable taking our Rottie Sally and Deaf Pitt Harley for boarding there at Doggie Do Good. It feels good for the staff to greet them and our dogs are happy to see the staff. One of the staff Isaac has been with them throughout their training and knows our dogs well since 2019.

We took our 9 month old mini Australian Labradoodle to DDG due to minor aggression issues (biting when excited or when being defiant) as well as the fact that he decided he was the Alpha from the day he got home. We ended up leaving him for 4 weeks (we originally expected 3) after DDG called to explain that his aggression issues required more time with them.

We received our updates (they email a very nice report card, and make calls as explained in their documentation) on time, and were pleased that they were "keeping it real" with us! We were cautiously optimistic when we saw progress each week on our dog's report card, and when we spoke on the phone, we always felt listened to and felt that the person on the phone truly knew our dog personally as well as his challenges.

When it was time to get our boy, we had a 7 hour session with a very experienced trainer named Isaac. (I think most reunification sessions are 4-5 hours.) I could not believe the thoroughness and attention that he gave us as well as the other dogs/families that were there. We practiced all behaviors, watched demos with our dog as well as other dogs, asked questions, learned how to use an e collar, prong collar, 15 foot lead for recall, went over commands (also printed in a nice folder) asked more questions, and generally felt exhausted in a good way when we left!

We dropped-off a very hyper, mouthy, and non-obedient puppy; we got back a dog who knows ALL of the commands that he needs to know in order to live harmoniously with us and to go out in public amongst other people/dogs! It will be up to US to keep training him daily, in order for him to master his newly learned behaviors and commands. We truly could not be more pleased with all aspects of our experience with DDG, and I highly recommend them if you have a challenging pup, or a not so challenging pup! Bonus: we were able to have our ALD groomed (his first groom ever) as well as bathed just prior to our picking him up!

Everyone that we talked to on the phone was super nice and accommodating! It seems like a really great facility however they never tell you the price but boarding is $100 a night and during the holidays it was $150 a night. That's just not some thing my family can swing when there are places that are amazing that can board for about $30 a night it just doesn't make sense.

My experience has certainly been mixed. I received a service dog from them a little over 2 years ago, and his basic training is phenomenal. He listens well on and off-leash, he is extremely well behaved in public places, and he tasks most of the time, the key word being most. When I received him he wasn't even taught a command to look at his handler, which is an important part of the task I need him to do as he needs to pick up on physical cues - I had to teach him to focus on me myself.

He also has a very high prey drive for birds and cats, which became an issue as I moved to an area with a multitude of feral cats. A shock collar was utilized in his training, I feel, in an attempt to suppress his prey drive. I feel it was a misguided decision to continue him in the service dog program as I've seen how strong his prey drive really is through the 2+ years I've known him.

The dog I've gotten to know through these last couple years should be tolling through the fields retrieving shot pheasants, not attending college with me helping me get through day-to-day. I also feel the use of the shock collar has affected our ability to form a meaningful connection, as I feel he only listens to me out of fear. Regardless, I've grown to accept the parts of my dog that can only be managed and not fixed, and I am determined to make our team work for me and for him until he retires.

My dog was a rescue. He was a bundle of energy. He was given as a Bday gift from grandkids so I could not refuse. He was suppose to max out at 41# but is currently 61#! I'm a senior citizen and my family and myself were fearful he could knock me over with his jumping and other bad habits. After the 21 days with the exceptional trainers he is a COMPLETELY different dog.

People are commenting on how well behaved he is. The trainers were all so nice and understanding of my concerns and kept me informed of his progress. DoggieDoGood is FANTASTIC!

The biggest problem we had is our dog came home sick with Giardia the he obtained at the Doggie Do Good Camp. Our vet told us it's highly contagious especially in a kennel setting like that. The staff was nice and the training was somewhat effective. They really push for the maximum amount of training days with a "guarantee" our dog came home and continued to dig almost immediately even with training reinforcements. So I wouldn't say there's much validity to the guarantee. It's definitely overpriced to have the training not 100% effective.

We sent out 2 year old pomsky, Zeke, here for separation anxiety. We were recommended by 4 of our friends so knew they were good. They worked on basic obedience and separation anxiety. All of the trainers were so sweet and really cared about our dog as much as we did! Nece was AMAZING at training us and has made herself available via phone after Zeke graduated and we transition to home training and continue working on separation anxiety. Megan in the office was so sweet and communicative. Definitely recommend!

I met Brian tonight at the boardroom. His dog was so well behaved! I need to bring my dog! Seriously amazing!

Just dropped off our 1 1/2 year old lab, he's a big boy and needs some basic help. See how it goes.

We are currently puppy raising a chocolate lab. Destiny is so easy to work with. She has been so responsive.

I took my deaf rescue pup to Doggie Do Good after having some aggression and recall issues. They did an amazing job with him! I noticed huge improvements when I picked him up, and feel much more confident with him now. His aggression is significantly improved, but not completely fixed yet, as these things take time. Doggie camp was a huge investment seeing as I am a college student, but I'm so glad I did it. Free follow up sessions for the life of the dog were the biggest draw for me. Overall, I recommend them to anyone who asks. Thank you Doggie Do Good staff!

Our service dog is in the middle of training, but it has been an amazing experience. I'm not a "dog guy" and was nervous with our family getting one. But he has made such a positive impact for my wife and kids. The staff is amazing here, everyone is extremely professional and kind. I highly recommend Doggie Do Good. They provide constant feedback and updates on how he is doing in training.

If there is a problem area they feel he needs to work on they call my wife and set appts for her to go in a train with him side by side and build the strong bond. You can tell they really care about how strict they are on picking the right pups from litters and choose the best puppy raisers. So far I have zero complaints and will update and the process goes along.

If you have a dire need to get you pup in line this is the man to trust. There isn't another person id leave my dog with other than myself. Thanknyiu Mark for giving me my dog back!

I'm receiving a service dog from Doggie Do Good and they have been so wonderful and accommodating. I've gotten to visit my pup twice now and it's amazing. They give me updates often and let me send her gifts and toys :

Looking forward to visiting the facility and having my mastiff trained. 4 stars because my Basset Hound was trained 10 years again and Hoping my Mastiff does well will update when she returns.

This company performs a service that is in high need field. The training of service dogs is a long task that most are not willing to undertake. The training here is top notch. I have received training from them as well as supported them by raising/training a puppy for future service.

They are very knowledgeable and treat the dogs with respect, firmness and love. My dog was a hot mess, skittish, fearful, dominant and a nipper. He is 88lbs so that is a bad combination. He came home a well adjusted, confident, happy dog that follows commands and direction in a positive and willing manner. He is definitely a different dog and I am very very grateful for how they were able to turn him around. I will continue to use all the tools they taught me so my fur baby can continue to be a happy and well adjusted pup.

I received a "service dog" from Doggie Do Good a year ago. I have never left a one star review for anything, ever, but I feel that people need to be warned. The dog I received was not appropriately trained for public access. She pulled on the leash and ate food off the ground. It was impossible to take her to a restaurant or grocery store. In addition, DDG's training methods are cruel and inhumane.

Their recommendation for all of my problems was to turn up her shock collar or use other aversive tools to force her into listening, when the real problem was that she wasn't trained in the first place. Everyone at DDG was very nice and they tried to work with me to get her better trained -- but it shouldn't be my job to train a dog I paid tens of thousands of dollars for. Keeping up with her training for a few minutes a day, of course - training is a lifelong commitment.

But I was having to teach her, seemingly from scratch, how to not eat stuff off the ground so that I could go to the grocery store with her, or how to not get so distracted by other dogs so we could be around other service dog teams. I know several other service dog handlers and I know their dogs well. I know what the expectations are for service dogs and DDG does not train up to that standard.

In addition, I know of several people who had to wash or give back dogs due to aggression. This is extremely problematic that DDG places aggressive dogs. They even initially tried to match me with a dog who had been given back for aggression - I don't care if you theoretically rehabbed the dog, it just seems blatantly unethical to place a dog for service work who has a known history of aggression.

They were also not upfront about the origins of this dog and her having been matched before. I can't comment on DDG for non-service dog board and trains. Based on their methods with service dogs I wouldn't recommend it, but maybe it will work for you. But for service dogs - stay away.

It's been 3 years now since my dog Gus was at Doggie Do Good! Since then, despite a cross-country move, taking on a wild doggie brother and welcoming a baby, Gus is still the most well behaved dog I've ever encountered (I could/would not have been able to say that before/without Doggie Do Good)! While off-leash he still heels at my side. His temperament went from hyper and nervous to chill all the time!

Despite having an untrained dog come into the home a year younger than him, with consistency and discipline Gus still retained all his skills! If we weren't in Texas now, we'd have our younger doggo at Doggie Do Good too! Love this place and can not recommend them highly enough!

Doggie Do Good knows what they are doing. Put our two puppies through their three week boot camp, and haven't regretted it. Though it was extremely expensive, once you see the facility and their intensive training methods, you get what you pay for, and the results have been impressive. The staff obviously love what they do and the dogs get top notch care.

The dogs haven't gone through some metamorphosis and turned into perfect angels by any means, but it's the hundred little things that make all the difference in the world. They seem calmer all around, more comfortable with their environment, and far more eager to listen to commands. Their 1:1 instruction with us was eye opening as well, and helped us really dial our own methods in. Would absolutely recommend to anyone thinking about it for their puppies!

We brought our dog Wallie here to help with his behavior. He had been left alone for a couple of years before we got him and he barked constantly, was leash aggressive and just seemed out of control. Walks were a terrible ordeal. We left him here for a month and then received our training. What a different and happier dog we got in return. He still is ultra sensitive, that's just his personality, but our walks are so much better and enjoyable and while he still has the crazy eyes (he's a Pekingese) he doesn't go ballistic and can enjoy the dog park with other dogs. Many thanks to Doggie Do Good!

Cliche incoming: you CAN teach old dogs new tricks. Our 10 year old pup went for the 3 week bootcamp and we had to make sure it was the same dog when we got him back. His recall is fantastic. We can have to door wide open now and he doesn't go anywhere near it. The auto-sit. Have I mentioned the auto-sit? When we go for walks, anytime we stop, he stops and immediately sits. Oh, it's a beautiful thing. We've recommended this place to a number of people.

My fiance and I are super thankful for doggie do good! Our Dalton, a long haired miniature dachshund was by far the most stubborn tough anxious little dog you would have ever met. My fiance didn't sleep for weeks because he would bark all night in his cage and we couldn't let him out for fear of him damaging the carpet. When we took him to doggie do good it was clear that he had the highest anxiety of any dog most professionals have seen.

All sorts of professionals tried to help with advice and medication, but ultimately nothing worked. A training camp to help him learn to be in his cage without having to bark non-stop was what we needed. They delivered that and more. Fast forward to today: Dalton is the most well behaved dog I know. He has his moments still, but Paul trained us how to affectively correct him and lead him to the appropriate behaviors. Dalton can sleep in his cage through the night.

He is so attached we used to not be able to leave a room or even be more than 3ft away while he was in a cage. No he can stay with the command we were taught and it helps us establish boundaries. Their love for your animal shows and while they teach the pups how to behave better, they teach you how to work with your pup! Dalton went from being a nervous wreck and a huge problem for our neighbors to being the dog everyone is so amazed with. We give him credit too, but doggie do good was a game changer for us and dalton!

We did the boot camp for four weeks for our 1 year old golden retriever. When we picked her up there was a noticeable difference. Our biggest issue with her was jumping and they completely fixed that, along with other issues (including staying in the down position). You do have to continue to work with your dog daily and use the prong collar for the training to work.

So while this place is great to get things started, it will fall apart if you don't do your part as a dog owner too. We have also used them to board our dog when we go on vacation. It is good to know that your dog is taken care of while away on vacation.

My puppy received service dog training. She mastered her tasks in 4 month. Megan, Paul, Courtney, and Neece were very professional and helpful. It's been six months since my dog started to work with me. She is doing very well with her service tasks and well behaved in public. They sent me picture updates on how my dog was doing. The trainings are a bit expensive but it's worth it.

I have 2 very stubborn dogs no other place was able to train them especially my big one since he has tendencies of being aggressive. They worked wonder super happy with the results. My dogs used to fight a lot now the don't. I'm glad l found them even though I live in south Orange County I drive to them because they are amazing.

We took our 5 month old Goldendoodle to Doggie Do Good and that was exactly what he needed. Prior to taking him we were struggling with his nipping, biting jumping and door dashing. Fast forward to 8 weeks after 21 day camp and wowzers what a difference! It's made the puppy stage sooo much easier. We are now able to go on walks leash free, open the door without him taking off and do basic commands.

Everyone that I dealt with at DDG was super friendly and very knowledgeable. They made me feel very comfortable in leaving my dogs care in their hands. I recommend DDG to everyone with dogs!

Doggie do good worked magic on our Great Dane puppy. We dropped him off for their obedience camp for 3 continuous weeks. When we got him back his behavior was a night and day difference. The trainers there are awesome and friendly as well. You can tell they all have a passion for working with animals. Definitely would recommend this facility if you are looking for the best of the best!

This is such an amazing company. Everyone is so knowledgeable. So kind. So understanding. I was able to meet my service dog that is being trained and just lay outside and bond. Everyone came out to help and check on us. I was able to watch some of the group training done for camp and the dogs were happy. I watched people meet potential service matches, as well as, a class of people graduating service! I can not say enough!

We took our rascally crazy puppy who jumped on everyone and tried to eat everything and wouldn't listen to Doggie Do Good and picked up a respectful and well trained young lady. It's amazing what a difference it made. The trainers all knew her. They all loved her and were aware of her silly personality traits. I loved getting the updates throughout her stay.

We missed her like crazy, but they sent us pictures and it was great to see that she looked happy. They all seem to love their jobs and genuinely love the dogs and it's such a wonderful place. If I ever need to board Trixie, I will absolutely bring her to Doggie Do Good where I know she is already loved and she is comfortable. I am so impressed with the training and how well she is doing. I can't recommend this place enough.
