Go Anywhere Dog 10 Year Birthday Bash Giveaway

10th Birthday Bash Giveaway -
FREE Dog Training Course for Rescues

10 Year Dog Training Give-away – Go Anywhere Dog®, Minneapolis & Twin Cities, MN, Dog Training
We’re turning ten and we’re ready to party!! When we opened our doors a decade ago, we started with classes full of rescue dogs. As a throwback to our humble beginnings and a thank you to our rescue heroes, we’re giving away access to our DogSense eCourse – totally FREE! We know there are plenty of foster homes and rescue pups out there who could benefit from our fun, compassionate, and easy-to-follow training methodology. For every valid entry in our giveaway, we’ll donate a copy of our eCourse to the tagged rescue organization. The more entries we get, the more copies of the course we’ll give away!

Help us help our rescue heroes. (It’s easy!)

We’re keeping it simple, here: 1 entry = 1 copy of our eCourse, donated to your tagged rescue organization. If a rescue gets ten entries, we’ll give them 10 copies to give out to their fosters or adopters as they see fit. If a rescue gets 23 entries, we’ll give them 23 copies, and so on! There’s no drawing. Nothing’s left up to chance. You don’t have to have any skill or luck; Everyone gets to be a winner! Here’s what you gotta do to win it big for your favorite rescue:

To enter on Facebook:

  1. Comment on our giveaway post with a picture of your rescue pup! (The cuter/sillier/funnier, the better!)
  2. In that same comment, tag the rescue organization that your pup came from.
  3. Either “like” or “follow” the Go Anywhere Dog business page on Facebook.

To enter on Instagram:

  1. Comment on our giveaway post and tag the rescue organization your pup came from.
  2. Post a pic of your rescue pup on Instagram and tag us! (Again, the cuter/sillier/funnier, the better!)
  3. “Follow” the Go Anywhere Dog business page on Instagram.

Because we wanna make it even more fun, each person may have up to two valid entries: one on Facebook AND one on Instagram. Whoohoo! On November 1st, we’ll get in touch with all of our winning rescue organizations to let them know how many copies of our eCourse they’ve won and how they can gain access.  That’s it! Easy-peasy, huh!? 

Our Course & rescue teams are a match made in heaven.

When dogs come into rescue, their whole world has been turned upside down. They need understanding. They need connection. They need to feel safe. Our eCourse is designed to teach humans how to raise and train dogs with exactly that: understanding, connection, and safety. All six modules (containing over 30 videos) are rooted in these beliefs, and we aim to make life easier for both humans and dogs alike. We cover topics like:

  • Dog body language, fear, and aggression
  • Puppy socialization
  • Safe off-leash play
  • Potty training, crate training, and leashed walking skills
  • Handling common “naughty” behaviors like play biting, barking, jumping up, & counter surfing
  • Motivation and reasonable expectations
  • Clear communication for effective training
  • Five essential obedience behaviors: Touch, Sit, Down, Stay, & Leave-it

Each video can be watched over and over, so viewers can learn at their own pace and go back for refreshers as needed – perfect for the busy foster parent or brand new adopter. 

We’re a small business, hoping to make a big impact.

We know rescues and shelters are, unfortunately, fuller than ever. To all you foster pawrents, shelter dog walkers, transport drivers, volunteer kennel cleaners, and vet-bill-fundraisers: we see you. We notice your hard work.  We appreciate what you do. We love your big hearts. Let’s come together and help more dogs get ready for their forever homes.  We’re excited to welcome you into the Go Anywhere Dog family.

Over the last year, we’ve helped raise over 10,000 Go Anywhere Dogs. Here’s to 10,000 more. Let’s party, rescue fam.

A trip down memory lane...

We began with Foster Class Tuesdays and Rescue Remedy Outings Downtown Minneapolis, partnered with Safe Hands Rescue. Many great memories surrounding our early days, just getting started with our unique loving approach to dog training and behavior.

Jody Karow - CTC

Founder & Lead Dog Life Coach — Go Anywhere Dog®

Helping dogs — and their humans — master the social skills that make a Go Anywhere Dog®. Science-based. Play-driven. Boundaries without trauma®.

Jody Karow is the founder and lead trainer at Go Anywhere Dog® in Eden Prairie, serving families across the Minneapolis metro. With 20+ years of hands-on experience, Jody’s special sauce is social skills—the confidence, play etiquette, and emotional regulation that turn a good puppy into a Go Anywhere Dog®. Her method blends behavioral science with joyful practice: trust first, skills second, obedience that lasts.

Her work sits at the intersection of behavioral science, emotional intelligence, and real-world practice, helping families raise calm, joyful dogs who can truly go anywhere with them. Jody’s guiding principle is simple and unwavering: build trust before obedience. Because the best-behaved dogs aren’t managed—they’re connected.

When she’s not teaching puppies the art of polite play, Jody mentors fellow trainers, writes about dog-human relationships, and explores the trails around the Minneapolis metro with her own Go Anywhere Dogs by her side.

Why Rewards Work in Puppy Training (And What Happens When They Don’t)

If rewards “stop working,” it’s rarely because a puppy is stubborn or manipulative. It’s usually because motivation, emotion, or clarity broke down somewhere along the way. In this video, I explain how rewards actually function in puppy training, why motivation comes before obedience, and what

Puppy Development

Early experiences shape confidence, coping, and resilience for life. This category explores how puppies learn long before formal training begins — and why early understanding matters more than early obedience.

Dog Body Language

Understanding how dogs communicate through posture, movement, facial expression, and subtle physical signals — so behavior makes sense in real time.

Behavior & Emotion

Behavior isn’t random. It’s driven by emotion, history, and context. These posts help you understand what dogs are feeling when behavior shifts, escalates, or seems confusing.

Fear & Stress

Fear isn’t defiance — it’s communication. This category focuses on recognizing fear early, understanding stress responses, and responding in ways that increase safety rather than escalation.

Training Foundations

Clear expectations, motivation, and learning principles that make training effective without force or intimidation. These pieces focus on why learning works — not just how.
