She’s a Siberian husky/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, so basically a small dinosaur and getting her socialized was important to me to se she can have a fun life with furry friends. She now loves to play, and because we worked through a lot of her anxieties she is free to let her personality shine! HIGHLY RECOMMENDPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbi puts everyone at ease including the dogs- right off the bat. My dog went from growling at her on first lesson to wagging like crazy and giving her kisses from the open car window!!! A HUGE jump for my boy! All the dogs that were on my circuit improved even the hard core cases- and my boy!! Abbi gives you homework to do and if you do it your dog will be happier and better behaved. Highly recommend!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Boomerang had a great experience this past week.

Abby transformed my high energy, distractible pup into a dog I can play and walk with off leash without any worries. 5 Stars!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Abbi and The Good Dog, after my 4 year old golden retriever lunged at a pickup truck, while on our early morning walk. I fell to the ground for the umpteenth time and really hurt myself. I told myself that ,this was it. We had taken to walking in the dark in the very early morning hours, on the back roads, when few cars were around, as to avoid any interactions with any vehicles. In the 4 years with Winnie, I've had a wrist fracture, hurt my back and neck and shoulder, had multiple falls, all from walking with my trusted life companion, who I love more than anything but hate that it had come to this. All my people, (kids, sister, mother, friends), thought I was crazy to keep Winnie, they pleaded with me to find another home for her. Walking is my refuge and since Winnie came into my life, during Covid, I had to rethink my refuge. Winnie is a beautiful, sweet, golden, who was born with anxiety, go figure, a golden .Her anxiety manifested itself with "leash aggression", anytime I would walk or run, and we come in contact with a car or truck, (in contact meaning, she sees a car, hears a car, or senses a car coming), she reacts and lunges after the car or truck, as if to take it down, she's 86 pounds and this makes controlling her impossible. I've spent so much money on behaviorist, drugs , trainers, harnesses, etc, and to no avail...nothing worked. That was until I heard about Abbi and her business, The Good Dog. I reached out to Abbi after that fateful last fall, we talked about her program , she suggested Winnie come and stay with her for a week, while she accessed her, worked with her and then worked with both of us. I actually hesitated, as other than my sisters, I'd never left Winnie with anyone. Then I realized that this was my last straw. Winnie spent a week with Abbi, she contacted me daily, sent videos and was encouraged by many things in her personality, no one had ever said that about Winnie. So, I write this message to say that Abbi ,and the good dog, have changed my life and Winnie's life. We use an e-collar that only uses vibrations, Winnie is calm and happy and loves her life , we walk every morning , at 7 am , when it is bright and beautiful ,we come in contact with cars and truck and we no longer have the issues from the past. In my wildest dreams, I would never have believed that this could happen. Thank you Abbi, you really have changed my life and Winnie's life. All my best, Kelly McGuillPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbi is a great trainer. I took a group class and was a great way for my dog to get interaction with other dogs in a training environment. Abbi always went the extra mile to tailor training to my dog’s needs and even stayed a little bit later after class to help reinforce the training. I highly recommend Abbi and her methods!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbi is fantastic. She did early training and ecollar training for my very smart and rambunctious pit mix puppy and it was like night and day before we hired her. She’s firm but the dogs absolutely love her and she’s a lovely person to boot!! Five stars is not enough!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would totally recommend having your dog trained by The Good Dog LLC because i’ve seen so much progress in my puppy Dakota she was always so happy to train with Abbigail. Therefore, If your pup needs some help you should DEFINITELY reach out to The Good Dog LLC and after the training has ended you will see so much progress in your pup!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I cannot say enough great things about Abbi and the experience we have had with her training our dog Chip over the past several months. We have done both private lessons (with and without us) and a group class. Chip had developed leash reactivity. We went in with limited expectations and walked away more than thrilled with the outcome, which was well past addressing the reactivity issue. Abbi is smart, dedicated and just gets dogs and all of their quirks. She helped us all learn how to get Chip and ourselves comfortable. She is awesome and we love all her own pups she uses in the training as well.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I recently completed Abbi’s Chill Canine Course. Abbi is absolutely wonderful that we have recruited her for other individual needs for our fur-boys. The course really helped in learning patience for us and the pup! Abbi was readily available, patient and even threw in some fun stuff in there. The homework was crucial to seeing the progress so those interested have to commit. Well worth the time and money! Abbi is one of a kind and really helped us with our energy filled adolescent pup!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
