About Good Dog Fetch

Force-free training in Dallas

Good Dog Fetch is the Dallas training business of Robin Ashman-Terrell, a force-free certified professional dog trainer with over 21 years of experience in training, rescue, behavior management and animal therapy. She teaches basic manners and social skills with science-based positive reinforcement, using treats, toys and pats as rewards, and avoids choke chains, prong collars, shock collars, force and intimidation. Kids are welcome to train their dogs in class or in private sessions, with parents learning the same cues alongside them.
