This Is For You If:

  • Walks are a nightmare because of barking, lunging, or pulling.

  • Your dog only listens when there’s food involved—or doesn’t listen at all.

  • You find yourself avoiding people, places, or other dogs because you just don’t want to deal with it.

  • Your dog’s behavior is stressful and overwhelming, and you’re out of ideas.

  • You want a clear, step-by-step plan to finally make progress.

The Good Dog Program is a private, in-depth training program designed to take you from daily frustration to real, lasting results. Over five months, we’ll tackle the challenges that make life difficult, replacing stress with confidence and chaos with control.

What Spokane Dog Owners Are Saying

  • Carolyn, I can't thank you enough for your thoughtful training guidance. Even our vet was impressed at how much calmer and less aggressive Dante is. You really were such a blessing, and I appreciate the impact you've made for Dante and me. He's so much happier and less stressed, and I feel like I know how to work with him now. The written training plans were so helpful, and I really appreciate you being available between sessions to answer questions.

  • We really thought about sending Stella back to the rescue because she was just so overwhelming - anxious and hyperactive, and we didn't know what to do with her. We booked a package with Carolyn, and it was so helpful. She was so empathetic to our situation and gave us so many helpful suggestions. While Stella is far from perfect, she's now a dog we can have as part of our family.

  • My corgi, Winston, was so reactive to new people. I couldn't have anyone over for fear he'd bite, and walking him was so embarrassing I just gave up. I was at my wit's end when I found you, and I'm so glad I did! Now I know how to help Winston stay calm when people come over, how to safely introduce him to new people, and we can go on walks again! We're both so happy that we worked with you!

  • With our schedules, we just couldn't make puppy class work, but we really wanted to get a good start to Tucker's training. It was so helpful having Carolyn come to our house and see Tucker's behavior at home with us. His puppy biting is so much better, he's using the dog door now, and he's doing great in his crate.
