Putting the leash back in your hands!

Empowering owners and enhancing the dog's quality of life.

We foster a partnership built on trust and understanding, allowing for clear communication without overwhelming pressure.

This approach encourages owners to use positive reinforcement and gentle guidance, helping dogs learn at their own pace while still enjoying their surroundings.

The goal is to create a harmonious balance where training feels like a natural part of daily life, enabling dogs to thrive in their environment and enjoy their adventures alongside their humans!

About GoodK9

Hi, I’m Mandy Good – I am a lifelong animal lover that began owning dogs as an adult. I quickly became curious about dog behavior and body language. My background as a nurse sharpened my eyes for catching small changes and watching for specific timing – two key components to successful dog training. I quickly realized that working with dogs and their humans was both intuitive and deeply rewarding for me.

I love helping a dog and their human understand each other better so they can live cohesively. I encourage you to reach out and take the first step to putting the leash back in your hands!

What Our Customers Say

Many of you may already be familiar with my beloved Pittie, Baxter, who has a bit of a reactive streak—especially when faced with passing delivery trucks or bicycles. Recently, we unexpectedly welcomed a German Shepherd puppy into our family, and I found myself in need of professional guidance to help Baxter adjust. I'm pleased to share my strong recommendation for Good K9 Institute. Mandy has been instrumental in not only addressing Baxter's reactivity but also in helping our family navigate the process of integrating our new addition. The transformation over the past few weeks has been remarkable. Baxter is not only tolerating the puppy but has also started to play and bond beautifully with her. If you're seeking expert training and support, I highly recommend Mandy and the team at Good K9 Institute.
