Good Pup Academy - Dog Obedience Training - Napa, CA

Member since Feb 2025

As a certified dog trainer through the Animal Behavior College, I bring years of experience and a deep passion for helping pets and their owners build stronger, more harmonious relationships. My training services encompass a range of essential skills, including basic obedience commands like sit, stay, wait, leave-it, recall, and loose-leash walking. I use a variety of effective techniques, including clicker training and positive reinforcement with toys and treats, to ensure your furry friend learns in a fun and engaging way. Whether you have a small pup under 20 pounds or a larger dog over 80 pounds, my tailored approach is designed to meet the unique needs of each animal.

In addition to basic obedience training, I specialize in behavior modification for pets exhibiting unwanted behaviors, such as jumping on guests or bolting out the door. My mobile services allow me to come directly to your home, providing convenience and comfort for both you and your pet. I proudly serve a travel radius that covers a wide area, ensuring that I can reach pet parents looking for guidance. With my comprehensive training methods and commitment to continued learning, I am dedicated to helping pets thrive in their environments.

Let’s work together to transform your dog’s behavior and enhance your bond. Whether you’re looking for obedience training or need assistance with behavioral challenges, I’m here to help. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!
