The Good Dog Center is a premier facility of the caliber one would expect to find in a large metropolitan city. The trainers are top-notch and can help one meet their goals whether that's developing a well-mannered companion or a top-notch competition dog. Individual lessons or group competition classes are offered.Grooming is also available with services including a head-to-toe makeover to nail trims.

An inadequate woman was asking people who PAID for participation in the dog show to park in a different place, (when their smaller building was the only one with some free spots). Was reserving parking for her clients. No special signs of course. Training is probably at the same level of incompetence and arrogance.

The Good Dog Center has the very best of everything when it comes to training dogs. The training staff are amazing and the facility is beautiful. They have invested so much time and energy in training my service dog. We make the 3 hour round trip 1-2 times a week and it is worth every minute!

I took my golden retriever here for the first time yesterday and was so impressed. I was extremely nervous as this was her first time but she did great and Iā€™d highly recommend the Good Dog Center to anyone and everyone! Such friendly staff right when you walk through the door, great pricing and so much passion for what they do.

I've been taking classes at the Good Dog Center for 18 years with 4 different dogs. All instructors are very knowledgeable, whether you desire a well-mannered family companion, or want to participate in competitive trials.

Iā€™ve trained my dogs, over the years, at the Good Dog Center since its very beginning. Even though Iā€™m not currently competing with my dogs, Iā€™ve enjoyed experiencing a wide variety of the training classes available through the GDC, from puppy k to competition obedience, rally, tracking, scent work, agility, Manners 2, Canine Good Citizen, and Fit Dog! I've also taken a variety of workshops. Iā€™ve learned from a variety of instructors and they are ALL excellent. Each highly skilled instructor has his/her unique approach to teaching and Iā€™ve found all to be effective. These instructors have taught me how to establish a wonderful relationship with my dogs. Theyā€™ve taught me how the little details in training make a HUGE difference. For example, my body language speaks loudly which impacts the performance of my dog (i.e., posture, pace, head direction, tone of voice, etc.)!! Plus, taking classes is just plain fun - it's another great opportunity to bond with my dog...and I laugh a lot. One of my dogs, Watson, has provided much comic relief to people in classes! LOL! So many fun things to do while in training class!! I'm looking forward to all the training fun I'll get with my next puppy!! Woo hoo! The skills Iā€™ve learned in classes are absolutely transferable to life ā€œoutside the classroomā€ and have definitely enhanced the quality of my dogsā€™ lives as well as my own!The owners of the GDC exhibit wonderful teamwork and leadership. They set high standards for themselves and have been very successful in all levels of competition obedience and other dog sports with their own dogs. They have a positive approach to training and are effective problem solvers. If you have a problem with your dog ā€“ come to the GDC!!! This team of experts are effective at helping people accomplish their training/behavior goals with their dogs! I have experienced this expertise many times over the years. Iā€™m very grateful for the GDC and I think we are all blessed to have this level of expertise and all of the wonderful training opportunities at our doorstep in Decorah!!
