FAQs

DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE, ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING?
Yes, that is our main offering. In private sessions, your dog will receive specialized training tailored to fit their exact needs and to reach your goals for them. We can train your dog and teach you how to maintain progress and implement structure into your daily routine.

WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR TRAINING LESSONS OR CONSULTATIONS?

Our rate starts at $100/hour and goes up to $150/hour depending on a few variables.

Nope! We are all about being pay as you go. This way there is no financial restraints or commitments. Payment is due a few days before your scheduled lesson.

WHAT TOWNSHIPS DO YOU SERVICE?

We travel to most towns in the Eastern Monmouth County area, within 20 minutes of Asbury Park. Depending where you reside, there may be a travel fee added on to your training service charge for fuel and travel time.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Shoot us an email via our contact page and we'll explain our 4 step enrollment process!

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT DO I GET WHEN I WORK WITH YOU?

We offer you guidance every step of the way! We maintain contact with our clients via phone or email anytime they need us, even after their dog graduates a training program.

WHAT ISSUES, OR TRAINING GOALS WON’T YOU WORK WITH?

I am not able to train dogs for any kind of protection work or police work, and I am not willing to take on dogs with severe aggression or severe anxiety of any kind. We refer out students who need behavior modification to veterinary behaviorists.

I JUST SIGNED MY DOG UP FOR TRAINING, WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Fast paced fun and excitement, reward based training, advanced skill sets, manners, socialization, learning how to read your dog's body language, discussions and handouts, weekly assignments that improve your dogs focus, and concentration!

HOW OLD SHOULD DOGS BE BEFORE STARTING A TRAINING PROGRAM?
Puppies can begin training the day they come home, ideally around 8 weeks. While we believe it is important to keep your dog safe from infectious diseases, it is also imperative that you socialize your puppy to many places, people and animals.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AFTER MY DOG FINISHES A TRAINING PROGRAM?
We are there for you and will return if new problems arise or old ones resurface. We offer a lifetime of online support to all of our clients.

Cancellation Policy
In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule a private lesson, we ask that you please notify us as far in advance as possible, by email, text or phone call. This gives us the opportunity to schedule another client at that time slot. If less than 48 hours notice has been given, we will keep the deposit you made to book your appointment. Please carefully consider your schedule, commitment to training and your dog before signing up for one of our training programs.

Refund Policy
Good Boy Training holds a no refund policy as a standard operating policy for all clients. All sales are final. The owner of the dog(s) may have the pet withdrawn from training at any time, however, once training has begun; all fees are non-refundable.
