I would recommend Good Dog Boston to anyone! Our trainer Jeff was patient, kind, and extremely helpful when working with us and our dog Miley. Miley struggles with reactivity triggered by other dogs and living in downtown Boston makes avoiding other dogs nearly impossible. Jeff provided a tiered program which laid the ground work for Miley's basic obedience and built up to working through her reactivity issues. We have already seen huge improvement in Miley's behavior and all thanks goes to Good Dog Boston! Also shoutout to Jeff's furry assistants: Danny, Halo, & Doctor for being the good-est boys and helping their friend Miley with her manners! Truly a 5 star experience!

I am so grateful to Jeff at Good Dog Boston for his amazing training for my Italian Greyhound puppy! Her behavior absolutely transformed within 8 sessions. Jeff's expertise and sense of humor made the sessions so much fun and he really taught my dog so many skills in a short time. I really appreciate how customized his approach was and the great homework he gave me to do. I had such a fantastic experience and I would recommend Good Dog Boston to anyone who is looking for excellent training for their dog.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Jeff and his training program. We enrolled our labradoodle puppy in the puppy program at 5 months old, and it made a world of difference. Jeff helped us navigate and correct those early, unwanted puppy behaviors while building a solid foundation of training that’s stuck with our pup ever since. Jeff is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he’s also clearly passionate about what he does. His approach is effective, thoughtful, and tailored—and the results speak for themselves. Our puppy is now a well-behaved city dog we’re proud to take anywhere. On top of that, Jeff is responsive, flexible, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. He was always quick to respond to texts and understanding when we needed to reschedule. We wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again if we ever need more support.

I can’t say enough good things about Jeff and the team at Good Dog Boston. There’s a night and day difference of our dog now compared to when we first started. Jeff takes the time to get to know you, your dog, and the goals you’re looking to achieve. His training sessions have worked wonders for our pup. His explanations/recommendations are easy to follow and just plain work. Throughout our entire process I always felt that Jeff truly cared about the progress we were making each week and answered every question along the way. I can’t recommend Good Dog Boston enough.
