Personalized Training for Better Behavior & a Stronger Bond

**Cooperative Care**

*Vet Visits • Nail Trims • Crating • Harness Training & More*
Say goodbye to the guilt and frustration of needing your dog restrained during essential care. With cooperative care training, you will be a proud pet parent as your dog learns to be an active participate in their own grooming and health routines.
Skills may include stationing on a scale, holding still for physical and visual exams, voluntary injections, blood draws, nail trims, tooth brushing, calm behavior in a crate, and any personalized health routine your dog requires.

**Big Behavior to Better Behavior**

Problem behaviors can make daily life with your dog stressful, sometimes embarrassing, and may even strain the bond you hoped to share. At Good Dog & Co., we offer compassionate, customized support to help transform those challenges. Using practical, positive techniques, we’ll teach your dog alternative behaviors that work for your specific situation—restoring harmony and connection in your life.

**Recently Rescued**

Whether you’ve adopted a puppy, adolescent, or adult dog, early training and preparation creates a smoother transition and lasting success in their new family. Along the way, you'll build trust, communication, and a strong bond from the start.

**Confidence Building**

The world can be full of overwhelming stimuli—whether out on the town, outside your windows, or when your dog is left alone at home. Thankfully, it’s never too late to teach your dog the tools they need to thrive. Together, we’ll build positive new associations that add up and outweigh any past negative experiences.

**Better Together: Intra-Household Dynamics**

Want your animals to get along, share space peacefully, and learn to enjoy each other’s company? Living with multiple animals can be deeply rewarding when interactions are thoughtfully supported. We assess behavior patterns and environmental factors, then coach you through routines and reinforcement strategies that promote safety, predictability, and positive relationships. The goal is a cooperative home where animals coexist with confidence and take breaks as needed.

**Event Training: Weddings & More!**

Is your dog is walking down the aisle or attending a celebration? We can design the training path to success for you.
From event-specific planning to on-site management on the big day, and plenty of practice in advance, your guests will be exclaiming, “what a good dog!” the entire day.
