Customers have praised the various training classes offered, from puppy playtime to advanced obedience, highlighting the expertise and support provided by the trainers.

The Good Dog Yorktown is highly recommended for anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog through effective training. Recent reviews confirm that the trainers and staff are knowledgeable and caring. Customers have seen their dogs improve significantly; Bruno, for example, used to pull on the leash and not listen well but now walks calmly and listens better, making walks more enjoyable. Luna, who struggled with focus, food motivation, and confidence, benefited from the Basic Agility class and is now more confident and engaged. She even does obstacles off-leash in the Advanced Agility class. The classes are well-sized, allowing for good peer benefits and personalized coaching from the trainers. Customers appreciate the homework and ongoing support, which helps set dogs and owners up for success. Many mention that their dogs are more confident and well-behaved thanks to the balanced, user-friendly instruction from the team, including trainers like Morgan, Amanda, and Emily. Overall, The Good Dog Yorktown is highly recommended for anyone seeking effective, supportive dog training that truly cares about the dogs and their owners.
Exceptional training methods are presented with immediate effective engagement between dog and owner. The Good Dog Yorktown is an outstanding dog training program and I highly recommend them for consideration.
Highly recommend working with these amazing ladies! I have two dogs who have drastically different needs (e.g., fear reactive adult and a playful puppy) and each have taken several classes. I have worked with each trainer here in one class or the other, along with private lessons. My reactive girl has come SO far in just a few months compared to my attempts over the last 1.5 years. My young puppy is always complimented in public and it’s certainly thanks to The Good Dog. I am excited to see what the future holds for both of my girls. I am always extremely impressed to see how quickly each trainer can tailor solutions to the handler and/or dog (even in large classes, you’ll quickly notice how they read each dog and address any challenges). Worth the time and investment time and time again!! To Katie, Morgan, and Emily - thank you for training me to have two “good dogs” even when one is a bit on the special side. :)
They are all amazing at training you how to train your dog. We have two rescues that took classes from Morgan and this last session we were with Emily. She did awesome job with our advance and intermediate class. You can’t go wrong no matter which instructor you end up with! Can’t wait for our next classes in agility and trick training.
