Testimonials

Gina established a great rapport with our entire family and three poodles. We all enjoyed her visits to our home and the effective dog obedience methods she taught us. Gina is fun, extremely patient, always positive and very skilled at working with adults, kids and dogs. One of our poodles fell in love with her, and stood by the gate and cried every time she left! We would give Gina the highest recommendation!

I would like to recommend Gina Johnson for your dog's training! I have a soft-coated Wheaton Terrier and hired Gina to start her training at 3 months old. She spent 10 days with "Cleo" and I was totally amazed at what progress she made. Cleo not only has learned all the normal commands, but also understands "spin right and spin left". Gina has a special quality that will amaze you and your dog will not only benefit, but you will be thankful that Gina made your dog's training so easy for you!

Gina is a very gentle and kind dog trainer and has a strong work ethic.  She has a way of making both the dogs and clients very comfortable.  Gina always sees the positive in a training challenge and can give many dogs the confidence they need to succeed.

We have a tenacious 1 year old Puggle named "Bubba" --never mind the name! Before meeting Gina, we were at such a point of discouragement, we were ready to be rid of the little terror that lived with us. Gina has done 'in-home' training as well as 'board and train' for us. She has taught us many tricks to good behavior. Now, that little terror has developed into a sweet little part of our family who happens to be relatively smart. We can't imagine not having 'Bubba' as a part of our lives. We owe it all to Gina -- definitely the one and only -- 'One Good Dog' - Gina!!

Hank (our Cockapoo) is the first dog I have ever owned. You came into our lives and made both puppy and owner very happy. I can't say enough good things about how you interacted with Hank and with me. Everything was very low key but effective. You have the magic touch Gina.

He is a joy and very obedient, thanks to your training. Keep up the good work! Thanks again for giving us a great loving dog.

Gina is a wonderful trainer, Jack, our Standard Poodle, learned so much from her and he still remembers her from his training days. He gets very excited when he sees her. I would highly recommend her board and train course.

My Bichon/Poodle mix, Dodger has been described by my vet as a wimpy dog with an attitude. It has turned out to be true. Gina has trained Dodger with patience, firmness and rewards (both verbal and treats). As further testimony to Gina's abilities, she has trained my 6 year old niece, neighbor and neighbor's children on how to handle Dodger. She is able to watch the interactions between dog and human and then tailor the training to benefit each. Gina is able to deal with a wide variety of ages and personality of dog and human and I would recommend her without hesitation!

Hi, My name is Rugby. My family used to be really frustrated with me because we just didn't understand each other. Sometimes they would be so pleased when I would go get something out of my toy box to chew on and other times they would be really annoyed when I took their items off of the counter (I may be short but I can jump high!). Going to the park was just the same....happy and then annoyed! I couldn't help it that I would run off and jump in the lake, or chase the ducks or fight with the neighborhood dogs. Then I found ONE GOOD DOG!, now I can understand my people and we have so much fun. I can go to the mall, Home Depot, and the latte stand and I don't have to worry about being rude. When we go to the park I know when to run right back to my family. I feel safer and they are so proud. We understand each other now and we have so much fun. I think every dog should go to school at ONE GOOD DOG! Plus, Gina gives out lots of love and praise. She is my favorite person outside of my family!

This pup is our third Westie and by far the politest and best trained dog in the neighborhood, thanks to Gina. The trick? We scampered off to the islands and while we sipped Mai Tais, Gina swiftly embedded good doggie manners and a few impressive tricks. When we arrived home, guess what?.....she trained us and now we’re all well-behaved, relaxed, and happy. Thanks Gina! Best vacation we’ve had!

When we brought our 1 year old dog, Zelda, to Gina, she was a very energetic yet naughty girl.  The biggest problem we had with her is that she jumped on people when they entered the house or when she was excited.  She also would jump on us while we sat in our chairs watching TV at night and she was nippy and mouthy to the point of nearly biting our hands and arms.  She thought she was playful, we thought it was painful.

After "doggy boot camp" at Gina's, she came home as "One Good Dog". She no longer jumped on anyone, she obeyed several commands such as "sit", "stay", "wait", "come" and best of all "off" and "right here" (which has to do with taking a walk and having a nice loose leash rather than the previous pulling and yanking us down the street).

We would recommend that anyone who wants to have a dog that everyone can enjoy being around, hire Gina.
