For many of us, it sometimes seems that a "dream dog" would be one that sleeps all day between walks and an occasional snuggle. Most dogs would probably have something to say about that! In a holistic approach, DoGooDog focuses on formulating positive training goals, in other words, helping you articulate what active behaviors you would like your dog to do as replacements for the behaviors that are driving you nuts.

DoGooDog addresses behaviors such as destructiveness, house soiling, excessive barking and jumping by creating situations for your dog in which you can catch him doing something right (instead of always catching him failing to meet expectations) and then building progressively on that success. Trainer Terence Cranendonk also consults on various aggressive behaviors and will take on many cases.

Trainer Terence Cranendonk is certified by the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and is the co-author of the forthcoming book, The Puppy Whisperer.
