Masha Broadbent
Amazing staff! It’s evident that everyone who works here is personally invested in the process of retraining and caring for the dogs. They truly go above and beyond. Highly recommended!
James Carter
Best trainers I know. Duke underwent an intense residential course plus some ongoing training. Also loves the day care.
Emanuel Lesaisaea
Ryan is a top man. Even though I was late to my 1 on 1 consultation he still took the time to listen and in 20mins he gave me enough advice to start getting my training back on track for my pup. We’re definitely staying with GDT
Sarah Connolly
Five stars aren’t enough. I cannot put into words just how helpful all the staff at Good Dog Training really are. They have been beyond helpful with my two dogs. I would highly recommend them to absolutely anyone and everyone who’ll listen.
Tamara Bareither
Love them! My rescue Bo got trained here (4 week board & train) and he went to daycare for a year after that before we moved to Wellington. I will continue to follow for updates & join in to the weekly Q&A’s. I definitely gained Read More

This is going to be a long review because we couldn’t have found a better facility for furry friends, where the staff are top notch. We had Jarmon help us out with obedience & socialization training for our 2 y/o American Bulldog, Kobe, Read More

I had a one on one training session with Abby. Her approach was calm, clear and so respectful of me and my dog. She clarified so many behaviours and gave me a really good understanding of how and why to do things. She was able Read More

Lovely and very helpful team. I enquired about their services as I’m planning to get a dog. One of their trainers, Steven made time to have a 30min chat over the phone. He answered all my questions and shared some very helpful advice for first time Read More
Francesca Davis
Went to Good Dog Training for Dog Obedience classes on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed! Dave was a fantastic instructor, patient and always had the time to answer our million and 1 questions. The class was run Read More

Zeus is more relaxed and better behaved after his weeks boarding and training. He’ll definitely be back.
Debra Reynolds
I have used GDT on a few occasions for Kennels & Board & train for my Staffy x who is very stubbord and needs an assertive training regime & not pamby pamby 😁
GDT training provided a safe controlled loving environment for our boy Highly recommend 👍
Jason Cleeton
Its so hard to decide on a dog trainer to goto with all the options around. I had looked at multiple companies and was getting frustrated. I decided to go here after being referred by a family friend. They were friendly and excellent in email response Read More
Josh Sanders
Absolutely fantastic. Have been great with our reactive German Shepherd. Our go-to Kennel for short and long stays.
Debbie Nelson
We were lucky to have Good Dog Training train our beautiful girl Laila under their Board and Train Program. Laila had fear aggression with people, particularly in the home, as well as possession aggression over those she is closest to in the family. Read More

Ryan is amazing!
Olga Roche-Kerr
Best place for your fur babies! I did obedience training with my puppy and instead of just teaching you some tricks (like a lot of other places do) Ryan gives you an understanding into your dog’s mind and psychology, helps you to build a great basis for your relationship.
Dan Fox
Ryan taught my twelve and thirteen year old dogs to just relax. He was patient with them, and us in the training process. He has helped them to be confident and social with other dogs. If your pups are in need of training, I highly recommend Good Dog Training.
John Bartch
Our dogs have been going to Good Dog for training, daycare and kennels for 5 years now and we highly recommend them. The staff are always so helpful and friendly and the best feedback I can give is that the dogs are always so happy to be there.
Shree Lamkane
I love this facility and the people working here. I have a tricky dog whose pray drive is high along with high energy. Good dog training has trained my dog well and I keep my dog with them overnight every now and then, to get good pack socialization experience.

A Good hours informative information. Well worth the trip up with our GSP Panda.
Sam Nelley
Very helpful people.
Leonardo Cunha
Our dog loves here. She always comes back looking so happy.
Sarah Harris
Good Dog Training didn’t just hand us back a “good” dog, my partner and I were absolutely taken back by how much she had improved during her time there. I honestly thought we got back some AI version of her with all her reactive traits removed 😂😂 Read More
Nigel Davidson
Fantastic trainers and great training tips for our pup. Learnt more in our hour with a trainer than from anything we had seen online.
James Breton
Great daycare service where you know your dog is well looked after.
If other dog trainers have failed you in the past these guys here really know what they are doing and were a huge help with our dog.
Erin Burrell
Our rescue dog had no socialisation before he came to us and Good Dog has been fantastic in getting him comfortable with other dogs and learning how to behave on lead.
Paleaaesina Family
Ryan and his team definitley know their stuff. We’ve made so much progress with our dogs already and we’ve only had 2 visits.
