At Inherently Good Dogs, we are dedicated to helping dogs become their best selves through tailored behavior modification and training plans. We work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioral challenges, specializing in behavior modification for serious issues such as human aggression, dog aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity, and extreme fear. Whether you need help with basic obedience, recall, crate training, leash walking skills, place work, or addressing nuisance behaviors like counter surfing, excessive barking, destructive behaviors, and jumping, we can help guide you and your dog towards your goals. However, the key to success in any training or behavior modification program is the owner’s commitment. To see and maintain long-term results, it is essential that owners are not only ready but also willing to actively participate in the process and make the necessary changes at home and to their relationship with their dog. Your dedication to consistency and effort will help your dog to thrive and become their best self.
This 1.5-hour session is designed to get to know you and your dog while assessing the behaviors you’d like help with. You’ll leave with practical strategies to start implementing right away, along with a customized training plan to move forward with your goals.
An initial evaluation is required prior to scheduling follow-up lessons, day training, Board & Train programs, or Puppy Development programs.

Start your puppy off on the right paw with potty training, crate training, leash skills, proper socialization, exposure to new environments, and basic obedience.
The first year of your puppy’s life is critical for development. While genetics play a role, early guidance and training help shape a confident, well-balanced adult dog. This program builds a strong foundation you can continue to grow at home.
For puppies under 1 year old who are not displaying serious behavioral concerns. If you’re unsure whether this program is the right fit, please fill out our contact form to discuss.

A true retreat for your dog — filled with enrichment, exploration, and freedom. Dogs stay in-home with us on 10.5 acres and spend their days exploring, running, sniffing, swimming, digging, and simply being dogs in a safe, structured environment.
Dogs do not need to be off-leash trained or dog-friendly to participate. In fact, this is an excellent option for reactive or aggressive dogs who may not otherwise get opportunities to safely enjoy this kind of freedom. Many dogs benefit greatly from the chance to decompress and move without constant exposure to triggers.
Intro to recall and leash skills are included, with the option to add e-collar recall for an additional fee.
*Dogs must be crate trained — no exceptions.
*Dogs with a human bite history or who are not dog-friendly must be muzzle trained — no exceptions.

Designed with rescue organizations in mind, this program gives dogs time to fully decompress in a calm, structured, low-stress in-home environment with an experienced handler. It also provides valuable insight into the dog’s behavior and needs, helping ensure successful placement into foster or adoptive homes.
Follow-up support for fosters or adopters (via phone, text, or email) is included at no additional cost.
This service is also a great option for pet owners. It offers your dog a reset while allowing for a more thorough, in-depth behavioral assessment — like an evaluation, but more comprehensive.

$1000 - regular
$1500 - human bite history, separation anxiety, extreme fear, resource guarding

In these one-on-one sessions, we’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, address your concerns, and create a clear, actionable plan to start working toward your training goals.
Virtual sessions are a great option for owners outside our travel area, those looking for a more budget-friendly option, or dogs who need guidance but aren’t experiencing severe behavioral issues.
Sessions are held via FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, or another platform that works for you. After booking, we’ll reach out to confirm your preferred platform.
