Bring Out the Best in Your Good Dog

Being with your dog should be fun and relaxing. But bad manners and other behavioral issues can create stress instead. And at the end of a long day, who wants to come home to that?


Our training programs can address a variety of issues that dog owners struggle with, including:

  • Pulling on the leash
  • Not coming when called
  • Lunging at other dogs or people on walks
  • Door darting
  • Basic obedience
  • Jumping on guests or family members
  • House training
  • Inappropriate chewing


At Good Dog Camp, we’ll teach you proven, effective ways to gently get your dog’s attention, build their confidence and shape their behavior – all while having a whole lot of FUN! You’ll be amazed at how quickly your dog learns and how reliably they come when called – not only at home but in the middle of real-world distractions.


We always think it’s a good idea to start any relationship by getting to know each other better. So the first thing our dog trainer in Rochester, MN will do is offer an evaluation for all new clients and dogs over 16 weeks old. It’s the perfect stepping stone into any of our training programs.

Good Dog Training Camps

Going away on vacation? Too busy to train? Dealing with challenging behavior issues? Tried other trainers without success?


Imagine what a relief it would be to drop your best friend off at Good Dog Camp and return to a dog with better behaviors and important new life skills. Our training camps make it easier than ever to have the dog you always dreamed of.

Overnight Training Camp

Good Dog overnight training camp is an innovative board and train program that can address a wide array of issues including house training, manners, not coming when called, lunging at other dogs, and more. During your evaluation, just let us know what your training goals are, and we’ll customize a program, especially for your dog!


Good Dog Training Camp includes:

  • A two-week stay in the safety and comfort of our facility
  • Customized training plan
  • Dedicated, one-on-one training sessions each day with a professional dog trainer
  • Field trips to parks so your dog learns how to respond in any environment
  • Regular updates so you always know how your dog is progressing
  • Personalized follow-up training sessions so you can learn how to maintain your dog’s new skills at home
  • And so much more!

Day Camp

Good Dog day camp is a fun and effective day training program designed to help you meet the training goals you have with your dog. After an evaluation to determine your training needs and goals, we’ll develop a training program specifically for your dog. All you have to do is drop him off with us for the day and we’ll work one-on-one to help him learn new skills and behaviors. With such focused attention and training, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you see results! We’ll even provide private follow-up sessions to show you what they’ve learned and teach you how to maintain their new skills at home.


Once your dog has completed either overnight or day camp, be sure to ask us about our Group Classes to further hone your dog’s skills!

Private Coaching

With private coaching at Good Dog Camp, you’ll get a customized training plan, personalized guidance, and plenty of time to ask questions or get clarification.


Regardless of your dog’s age, breed, or personality, private coaching at Good Dog Camp will help you build realistic training goals and teach you how to maintain your dogs’ behavior in various situations for the rest of their lives.


Private coaching sessions start in the safety and comfort of the Good Dog Camp studio. Once your dog really knows his stuff inside, we’ll start training out in the “real world” with all the distractions it has to offer. After all, when you know that your dog is as reliable at the park as he is in the backyard, you can enjoy more time together in more places. And isn’t that what having a good dog is all about?


Plus, once your dog has completed private coaching, you are both eligible to join our dog trainer in Rochester, MN for our group classes to further hone your dog’s skills!

"We love Annalisa. She was recommended by our vet. She trained Elsa- a chill golden retriever; who is now 5 and Olive- a hyper pug; who is now one year old. Everyone says how well behaved our dogs are. She is down to earth and realistic. She has a wonderful approach to dog training and takes time to get to know the family and habits good or bad around the dogs. My dogs are the 2nd and 3rd I have ever had in my life and so glad they worked with her. I highly recommend Good Dog Camp."
