From Struggle to Success – Your Dog’s Transformation Starts Here

No More Bad Dog Days – Enjoy a Calm, Obedient Companion

Are you at your wit’s end with a dog who just won’t listen? We understand how exhausting it is when your pup pulls on the leash, jumps on guests, and ignores your calls. You love your dog, but the daily chaos – the yelling, the pulling, the frustration – is wearing you down.

Frustrated With Your Dog’s Behavior?

You’re not alone. You try walking around the block, but it turns into a tug-of-war. Your dog jumps on every guest and goes nuts when someone knocks. You’re stuck yelling “No!” over and over with zero change—and starting to feel hopeless.

Maybe you’ve even stopped inviting people over or taking your dog on adventures because you just don’t trust how they’ll act. It’s exhausting. And it feels like nothing’s working.

We Help You Lead Your Dog to a Better Life

At The Good Dog Way, we help you create lasting change—because we don’t just train dogs. We train you to confidently lead.

Using a balanced, humane approach and tools tailored to your dog, we help you build clear communication that works in real life. Whether you’re dealing with a wild puppy or an adult dog who’s never had structure, we’ve seen it all—and helped turn it around.

Clients come to us from all over Washington for one reason: the results are real. You’ll see change not just in your dog—but in your own confidence and connection.

Empowering you to lead your dog toward a calmer, more fulfilling life.

Peaceful Walks You Can Enjoy Again

Your dog will learn to walk politely at your side—no pulling, no lunging, no stress. We teach leash manners in real-world settings so every walk becomes something to look forward to.

Off-Leash Trust That Sets You Both Free

With modern e-collar training done right, your dog will come when called—even around distractions. That means safe, off-leash freedom on hikes, beaches, or backyard BBQs.

A Calmer Home Life for Everyone

Your dog can learn to greet guests politely, stay calm indoors, and relax instead of bouncing off the walls. We teach structure and teach you how to maintain it at home.

Our services

We offer Board & Trains, Private Session Package, Day Training, as well as Group Classes for behavior modification and rehabilitation in real-world settings. Our programs are tailored to the individual dog and all behavioral issues.

The Premier Private Package is a thoughtfully designed hybrid program that combines the transformative impact of our board and train with the flexibility and accessibility of one-on-one lessons.

Group classes offer structured, trainer-led sessions that help your dog build essential skills in a social setting with real-world distractions.

"Sean, Marta and team opened up a whole new world for my golden and I. Walks, hiking, everything is better. I used to say to him, “ if you behaved we could do a lot more cool things.” Now we are. Would recommend The good dog way 100%. No longer reactive, no pulling on the leash, just the really good boy he is."
