New dog training and enrichment center opens in Bennett Valley

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - March 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Good Dawg Training announces the launch of a new dog training and enrichment center, helping transform traditional force-based dog training to kinder and ethical practices.

Santa Rosa, California – Good Dawg Training, a leading provider of reinforcement based dog training, today announced the launch of their brick and mortar facility in Bennett Valley,  designed to offer unique and supportive dog training services within the pet care sector.

Key dog training services include:
Early puppy training and socialization.
Group and private dog training.
Low-stress handling techniques.
Coworking stations to share with your dog.
A faux vet exam room to help dogs overcome their fear of vet visits, etical muzzle training and a fun Sensory Sniffari adventure.
Our training goes beyond basic foundation training.  We train our clients how to understand their dogs and to set them up for success.  We need to meet the natural needs of our dogs to mitigate the "unwanted behavior" which leads to many dogs being surrendered to shelters at no fault of their own.  We need to provide the resources that our pets need to succeed in our homes.  Training and enrichment helps satisfy mental and physical needs.

How our training benefits our clients:

• Understanding a dogs natural history helps clients understand what their dogs need.
• We help clients and their dogs have better vet visits.
• We show clients how to problem solve challenges like bathing, car rides, reactivity, separation anxiety to name a few.

CEO/Founder Colette Edwards states, "We are excited to introduce Good Dawg Training to Bennett Valley in Santa Rosa, as it represents a progressive leap forward in the dog training industry, away from traditional pain and fear based training. My 27 years of proactive care training with marine mammals can improve confidence, trust and care given to our dogs.  There is always more to do, learn and improve on."
