The Good Dog Academy

Day School and Learning Center

Building the bond between dog and owner is the foundation for all successful training.

Our dogs are family. We love them and want them to have a happy and fulfilled life. We want them to be able to share experiences with us and have quality bonding time together.

At The Good Dog Academy, we believe that each dog is unique and we want to help you to build a relationship with your dog built on trust and respect, never dominance or aggression. We provide you with the skills you need to navigate the world with your dog so that you can expand your horizons and share many experiences together.

A Modern Approach

We use positive reinforcement to create a program that focuses on providing your dog guidance through all situations in life. We don't believe in "being alpha" or bullying your dog. We never use aversive training tools like shock collars or prong collars. Our program focuses on encouraging your dog to make good choices in challenging situations which increases confidence in both you and your dog. We call it "choosing correctness" and it is the foundation of all of our training at The Good Dog Academy. We feel that the ability to choose correctness is how we can create behaviors that are more consistent and longer lasting.

Jo Beth Lafleur, MLS (ASCP)

I believe in creating positive experiences with your dog which increase the strength of your bond and allow your training to flourish. Training should be fun for everyone involved and my training style is playful and energetic. I love to see smiles and wags when we train together!

“Wonderfully helpful!! She took time to really consider my pets specific situation, and give me detailed instructions to train them based on our situation and needs! She came up with creative ideas to accommodate my elderly pups. Their training is helping a lot! I would recommend her to anyone.”
