We are attending a "life skills" class for my youngest Great Dane. I feel pretty comfortable in my dog training skills, but I've learned things in the very first class. The instructors definitely know dogs. Update 2022: I keep coming back and became a member because the people and instructors are great. Thank you to all the instructors!

I would recommend the life skills class that Judy taught and her assistant very professional but still made the class fun. It seemed like all the dogs in the class with their owners learned and we all had great participation would recommend this for anybody that has time for teaching their dog good manners. Thank you so much Glenn Judevine

Judy and instructors in the Life Sills class are amazing. They love their job, the dogs and make you feel welcome. They are professional but caring. Everyone learned and loved the instructions we received. Highly recommend GODOGS for everyone that wants to learn to bond and teach their dogs.
