Dog training has a few different dimensions depending on what you need or want from your dog:
-
Are there behaviors you need to stop?
-
Would you like your dog to listen better no matter the situation?
-
Do you want to go on a nice, quiet walk without your dog pulling you around the block?
-
Are you interested in learning how to create a fun activity you and your dog can do together?
-
Do you want to trust them off-leash for some play time at your local park?
All of this starts with one thing: sharing a common language with your buddy.

Helping You and Your Dog Live Better Together
Justin
Certified Dog Trainer and IACP Affiliate
Justin is a certified dog trainer and IACP affiliate with over 15 years of professional experience. He obtained his certification at Canyon Crest K9 Training in Tacoma, WA, where he worked with all breeds and temperaments, including high aggression. Justin's journey into dog training began when he was a new dog owner and enrolled his then young pup, Porter, into a group class to help him manage Porter's very high energy. When given no instruction or advice, he was told to release Porter into the group for play. Unsurprisingly, the results were less than stellar and the "trainer" told Justin to get control of his dog. "Isn't that what you're supposed to teach me?" he asked. The reply was that Porter couldn't be helped. Unsatisfied and disbelieving, Justin sought out to learn dog training and the rest is history! Sadly, this story is not uncommon. Many of our clients have also "failed" group classes, been told their dogs "can't be helped" or are "too much." We have been the last resort to more than a few owners and we have cherished the opportunity to change their lives.
Sara
Certified Dog Trainer and IACP Affiliate
Sara started her training journey when she met Justin in 2016 and fell in love with his dogs, Porter & Gaia. What she didn't realize was all the time & work he had put in with them to get them to their amazing selves. So, when she adopted Torben at the age of 5 months after he'd been in as many homes, it was an eye-opening experience to say the least! With time and consistency, Torben is the best boy, and Sara considers herself a better, stronger and more confident person. Along with assisting in the dog training and people coaching, Sara brings decades of administrative experience to DogBGood and loves helping people with their pooches.
