About The Good Dog Academy

Behavior-based training in Newark

The Good Dog Academy is a Newark dog training and behavior modification business serving Tarrant and Wise Counties, with remote training available more widely. Its focus is behavior rather than commands: teaching dogs how to stay calm, how to settle and how to make better choices, so families are not managing their dog all day.

Getting started

The first step is a Behavior Blueprint, a $150, 50-60 minute one-on-one session in the client's home. It produces a step-by-step plan, guidance on what to start right away and a recommendation of the best program; the fee is credited toward a program joined within 30 days.

Services

In-home training offers customized lessons at the client's home or at the academy's location. Group classes socialize dogs to new people, places and dogs while teaching them to listen around distractions. The Puppy Preschool Program, for pups 6 weeks to 6 months, covers positive socialization, sit-stay, down-stay, come, house training, chewing and jumping. A separation anxiety program and a monthly training subscription offer unlimited remote behavior training, digital behavior reviews and Q&A. Remote sessions run over Zoom, and gift certificates are available.
