GoodBoy Cares

At GoodBoy, we believe every family deserves access to training that is compassionate, effective, and affordable. Our mission has always been simple: help dogs succeed and stay in the homes that love them.

That’s why we do things a little differently:

We never charge extra for multiple dogs in the same household. Your pups are family, and they all deserve the same chance to learn.

We always give a discount to newly adopted pets, because we want to provide those pups with the best possible start in their forever home.

We extend savings to first responders, teachers, healthcare workers, veterans, seniors, and foster families. These are people who give so much back to their communities, and it’s our way of giving a little back in return.

Training isn’t just about behavior. It’s about connection, healing, and making life better for both dogs and their people. That’s the heart of GoodBoy, and it’s why we’ll always put families first.

Training Doesn’t Have to Be So Serious

Somewhere along the way, a lot of people started thinking training had to look rigid and formal. Straight backs, perfect sits, no laughter allowed. But here’s the truth — training doesn’t have to be serious all the time. In fact, it shouldn’t be.

Our dogs learn best when they’re having fun, and honestly, so do we. A game of tug where your pup practices “drop it,” a quick round of recall in the yard, or asking for a “sit” before you toss their toy — that’s training too. And it’s just as important as the structured stuff.

When training feels like play, dogs are more eager to participate, and owners are more likely to stick with it. Everyone wins. You don’t need an hour-long session with a stopwatch. You just need a few minutes here and there, full of encouragement, patience, and fun.

At the end of the day, training isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection. And the more fun you both have, the stronger that connection grows.

Okay Bowling Green,

Aside from a couple of smaller storms, it looks like we're through this horrible heat...For now.

Don't forget to get your dogs out for some appropriate socialization.

Outdoor trainings will be much safer, but safty and common sense should still be observed.

Why Choose GoodBoy?

Because for us, this isn’t just training. It is therapy, trust, and a chance to change lives.

At GoodBoy, we know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by a dog’s behavior. We have sat with families who love their pups deeply but don’t know how to help them. We have worked with dogs who were anxious, fearful, or even aggressive, and we have seen them transform into calm, confident companions.

What makes us different is simple. We use behavior therapy, not intimidation. We do not believe in fear-based quick fixes. Instead, we look at why your dog is struggling and help them learn better, healthier ways to cope.

Every pup we meet is unique, and so is every family. That is why we create therapy plans that fit your dog and your household. We walk alongside you every step of the way because real progress happens when trainer, dog, and family all work together.

When you choose GoodBoy, you are not just a client. You are part of the GoodBoy family. In this family, every pup is given patience, compassion, and the chance to shine.

At the heart of it all, it is not about fixing dogs. It is about healing, learning, and building trust that lasts a lifetime.

Morning Everyone!
Looks like Kentucky is soon going to get a break from this exhausting heat. Come Monday, outdoor appointments will be a lot safer to conduct for yourself and our amazing staff. And dogs (and other animals)

Please keep your pups safe from the heat and keep their paws blister free.

As said a bazillion times over and over again...If you want a well behaved dog that is the envy of others (like Cove) then you need to put down the phone and start working with them.

The first day, little will change. The first week you may even feel like things are going backwards. The first month you build confidence in your dog. After a couple of months, you'll build more confidence in yourself.

Building a well-rounded dog takes time, consistency and a lack of excuses as to how busy you are. South central Kentucky is FULL of amazing parks to get your dog out and training.

Get out there are start working with your dog. Our trainers are always available throughout Kentucky to assist.

That strange look you get when you tell the Bunnings associate that you'll take the whole pallet of dog food for your local shelter.

Now we're still waiting for a manager to...I don't know... Approve it I guess.

Calm is a skill. Patience is a skill. And both can be practiced.... for humans and dogs alike.

So often we think of calmness and patience as traits you either have or you don’t. But the truth is, they’re skills, just like learning to sit, stay, or walk on a leash.

For dogs, calm doesn’t come naturally in every situation. They practice it in safe, small steps: waiting quietly for food, greeting without jumping, or simply existing beside new people and sounds. Each successful moment builds a stronger foundation.

For humans, patience is practiced too. It’s choosing consistency over frustration, and remembering that progress is measured in steps, not leaps. Just as your pup is learning, so are you.

When both dog and human practice these skills together, trust grows, confidence builds, and a true partnership takes shape. Training stops being a battle and becomes a shared journey.
