Meet the dogs

Real dogs. Real progress.

Families from Edina, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Minneapolis and Minnetonka, in their words, with the dogs who did the work.

Love, trust and dignity

“Go Anywhere Dog throws out the old ways of how we communicate with and train dogs, welcoming in a new era of leading with love, trust and dignity — and the results are ASTONISHING!”

A nervous rescue pup

“I adopted my pup Zulu, at 6 months old as a rescue. He was nervous and timid anywhere I took him. It was amazing how well he progressed.”

Help for anxiety and fear

“Ashley noticed our Mia showing signs of anxiety & fear. She gave us tips to help her feel brave.”

Classes + private in-home

“Our puppy “graduated” from basic 101 training. We also do private training with Emily at home for additional guidance.”

Puppy class through 201

“We started with puppy class, and have completed 101 & 201. The classes are small, and you get a lot of dog-parenting information throughout.”

Skills that hold up

“Zuko was able to pass hamburgers and hotdogs without problem, sit near another dog off leash, stay on a mat with me in another room, and more.”

Positive, step-by-step training

“We tried several other places with our puppy. Go Anywhere Dog’s positive, step-by-step training was the only thing that worked.”

Care for a shy dog

“They took extra care with our shy dog Skyy. We are excited to continue to learn from them.”

Reward-based, no intimidation

“I’m impressed with their approach and philosophy. No intimidation or fear-based tactics. Reward-based, they value & encourage socialization between the pups.”

Puppy socialization classes

“The puppy socialization & training classes were an invaluable experience for both myself & my pup.”

Class + at-home videos

“Still hard to believe that I got wiggly 7-month-old Felix to happily cooperate while there were other wiggly pups in the room. If you follow the steps in Jody’s videos, you and your dog will succeed.”

Skills for the real world

“This is the best dog school I have found that teaches skills and obedience that are applicable in the real world.”

Understanding dog behavior

“The techniques we’ve learned opened our eyes to a different approach to puppy training and helped us understand dog behavior.”

Calm on the road

“We recently took our dog on a road trip, she behaved perfectly. Classes are great. Jody is an excellent dog trainer.”

A reliable recall

“My pup Larry absolutely loves going there. They give you tools to ensure your dog will come when called.”

Progress in five weeks

“Our dog has made tremendous progress in just 5 weeks. If you want a dog to be a great family member, GAD is the place to go.”

Good with other dogs

“People are constantly telling us our dog is smart & well-behaved. He knows how to be with other dogs…”

Focus around distractions

“My dog learned to focus & obey commands—even when surrounded by big distractions like other dogs off leash.”

Practical behavior help

“The trainers are amazing and our dog is now well behaved. Go Anywhere Dog trainers give practical suggestions for many dog behavior problems.”

Training for real life

“If you want relevant—and fun—training for life with your pooch, this is the place for you and your dog.”

A foster’s view

“In class I learned a lot of skills to reinforce the good behaviors and how to be mindful of the fears the puppies might have. The behaviors stick!”

Let’s celebrate your next step.
