Puppyhood.

One moment they are a snuggly ball of fur in your lap.

The next moment all their tiny sharp teeth are latched on to your ankle.

Life with a puppy can be overwhelming, exhausting and confusing.

I'm here to help you.

We’ll show you how to guide and support your puppy to grow into that great dog who chooses to be always at your side.

The Benefits of our program:

  • IT’S FUN!

    It’s fun for both you and your dog. When it’s fun you and your dog will want to play more often!

  • FRUSTRATION AND FAILURE ARE REPLACED BY FUN AND SUCCESS

    Games provide frustration-free learning. The games are broken down into simple progressions and success is built into every level.

  • GAMES WORK

    The games are based on the very real science of animal learning and behaviour. They have been tested on many dogs in our programs so we know they work!

  • YOU CAN EASILY TRANSFER THE GAMES INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE

    The games are portable and designed to be played anywhere in life. We will ensure that you know how to apply them to problem-solve in all real-life situations.

What’s included in the program:

  • Solutions to common problems like biting, jumping, and peeing to name a few.

  • Socialization Activities - Important to do in first 3 months to help fear/anxiety about people, other dogs, new situations, & body handling.

  • Life skills to make the rest of your life with your dog more enjoyable – leash walking, sit, down, stay, recall.

  • Games to build a great relationship between you and your Puppy.

What Our Students are saying about Good Pup!


Shirra sent me a message about her experience...

As a new puppy owner I would have been lost without the Good Pup! online program. The course includes teaching videos and other educational resources as well as live online sessions.

The games and activities have been magical for us working with our dog. The live online conversations and lessons with Laura in a quiet environment allowed me to focus and learn without the distraction of my puppy. Many “aha” moments took place in these sessions!

Benefits of Online Puppy Classes

My experience is you'll learn & understand more than in-person classes (where you're distracted by your Pup).

  • More Support than In-Person Only

    As follow-up to our weekly live class we provide you online videos of all class activities so you can refer back to them during the week.

  • You Can Start Early

    With online classes you don’t have to wait for your pup to have their shots to start learning. You can access information and support from us the day your puppy comes home!

  • You Don't Have to Wait for a New Session

    Our program is open-enrollment which means that each lesson is a self-contained until. You start when you are ready and continue for six weeks.

Puppy Socials!*

We'll be offering weekly puppy social get-togethers during the 6 week course.

Your puppies will have a great time playing, making friends and building crucial social skills.

*If you cannot attend the socials, you'll be credited for 2 private consults.

With Puppy Socials You'll Learn How To:

  • Identify good play skills

  • Support a shy or fearful puppy

  • Determine whether your puppy actually wants to play with a particular dog

  • Keep your puppy safe in all social interactions
