Private Dog Training in Santa Rosa, CA

Is this your dog?

  • Barking and lunging at other dogs? 
  • Pulling so hard that walks aren't enjoyable? 
  • Jumping on visitors? 
  • Barking at every noise? 
  • Struggling to settle at home? 
  • Ignoring you outside? 
  • Newly adopted and finding it difficult to adjust? 
  • Anxious when left alone? 
  • Taking food or toys and growling? 
  • Constantly chasing the cat or children? 

You're not alone.

Every dog is different, which is why every private training program begins with understanding why the behavior is happening.


Located in Santa Rosa, Good Dawg Training welcomes dogs and their owners from throughout Sonoma County for private behavior coaching and behavior assessments.

How Private Training Works

1. Free Assessment

2. Personalized Training Plan

2. Personalized Training Plan

For all dogs over 5 months.


We begin with a FREE 30-minute Behavior Assessment at the Good Dawg Training Center.


During this session, I'll get to know you and your dog, observe how your dog responds to a new environment, and discuss the challenges you're experiencing along with your training goals.


This assessment helps me understand what's driving your dog's behavior so I can recommend the most appropriate training plan for you and your dog.

2. Personalized Training Plan

No two dogs are the same, so no two training plans should be either.


Based on your assessment, I'll develop a practical training plan tailored to your dog's individual needs, your family's lifestyle, and your goals. 


Together we'll teach the skills your dog needs while building confidence, meeting their needs, and setting them up for success.


Training isn't about simply stopping unwanted behaviors. It's about creating better choices.

3. Ongoing Support

3. Ongoing Support

Real success happens between sessions.


I'll guide you every step of the way with practical coaching, homework, downloadable resources on the customer portal, and ongoing support to help you apply the training confidently at home.


As your dog progresses, we'll adjust the training plan together, celebrate successes, troubleshoot challenges, and continue building the skills that lead to lasting results.


My goal isn't just to train your dog. It's to give you the knowledge and confidence to continue long after our sessions together.

Testimonial

Google Review

 Colette is by far the most knowledgeable, caring, intuitive dog trainer we have ever met. Within 5 minutes of observing our very anxious 7 year old poodle mix, she was able to completely describe everything going on with our dog's emotional state.
She has been instrumental in guiding us through a family crisis of an anxious dog struggling with us having a child. If we did not have Good Dawg Training at this time, I don't know what we would do. Good Dawg Training comes expertly recommended by the top behavioral doctor at the UC DAVIS behavioral science department. Good Dawg Training is 1 of only 3 trainers trusted by UC DAVIS in the entire North Bay Area. If you have a new puppy or an older dog like us, do not hesitate to book here. We made the mistake of putting our puppy in a local training program where she stayed there for 1 week- we found out later they use negative punishment and it only made our dogs anxiety worse. I highly recommend avoiding this route of a group training program like this and working with Colette individually. - Jake Montero

Pet relief area

We understand that potty accidents can occur. If your older dog tends to mark their territory, we kindly ask you to bring a belly band or male wrap for them to wear while at Good Dawg Training. You can find both reusable and disposable options at most pet supply stores and online. Additionally, we have an outdoor relief area for pets located to the left of our main entrance. Thank you.
