Description
Foundation of the Program: Everything we do is positive reinforcement training with Tellington TTouch mixed in. There’s no choke chains or electric shock collars here! We promote responsibility and ownership with children toward their family dog, teamwork, and trust.
Curriculum Highlights: Jenn Merritt, CPDT-KA, our cofounder, wrote our curriculum using over 13 years of professional dog training experience, with sister Kim’s 8 years of experience homeschooling her kids. What a great combo! It teaches dog safety and dog bite prevention through the use of fun games and reward based training. Three central themes throughout program include “Loving your good dog,” “Learning about your good dog,” and “Teaching your good dog.” “I Can” empowerment statements help children build self-confidence in knowing the proper way to interact with dogs. It’s fun for the whole family!

Realistic Expectations: We like to say our program is habit forming (and fun), but let’s be real, habits and new behaviors take time to learn. Each kid and each dog will learn at their own pace. We don’t guarantee that your dog will become the best behaved dog in town overnight. But if you consistently work with your kids and dogs, positive outcomes will prevail. Our program is NOT for dogs who have consistently shown aggressive or biting behavior. For that, we recommend face time with a professional dog trainer that specializes in aggression.
Delivery Method: It’s all virtual. Get it instantly! (hey Grandma…little Jimmy and Sally would love one for Fluffy!). Video training and downloadable activity guides and training cards are accessible through your online Good Dog account. Anyone in the family can access learning from any computer or mobile device.
Training Tools Not Included We Suggest for This Program: We suggest that you have the following training tools for our program – wearable treat pouch, 4′ leash, 6′ leash, Halti harness or similar harness, Kong stuffing toy, dog treats, Zoom Groom dog brush, dog toothbrush and oral care kit, target stick, dog dispensing puzzle toy. We also suggest the Dog Smart Card Game and the Doggone Cookbook, sold separately.
