Good Dog Happy Owner Dog Training,LLC
Professional Force-Free Dog Training Delivered in Your Home!
“When owners understand their dogs, everything gets easier.”
“Most dog problems don’t come from bad dogs—they come from misunderstandings between people and dogs.”
My goal is to help you understand your dog so you can guide them successfully.
Helping Dog Owners Build Calm, Attentive, Well-Behaved Dogs
What I Do
I help dog owners understand their dogs and teach them how to train in ways that actually work in real life.
Many behavior problems happen because dogs and humans see the world differently. When owners learn how their dogs think and learn, things start to make sense—and training becomes much easier.
My goal is to help you:
- Understand your dog’s behavior
- Learn practical training skills
- Communicate clearly with your dog
- Build a calmer, happier life together
When you understand your dog, frustration fades, confidence grows, and the relationship you want with your dog becomes possible.

Who I Help
I work with dog owners at many different stages of life, but my goal is always the same: to help you better understand your dog and build a relationship you both enjoy.
Whether you’re a first-time dog owner learning how dogs think and form habits, a family with children wanting safe and respectful interactions, or a busy professional needing training that fits your schedule, we can help.
I also support couples who want to be consistent with their dog, retirees looking to build a calm and enjoyable companion, owners dealing with challenges like pulling, jumping, barking, or ignoring cues, and anyone who simply wants a stronger connection and better communication with their dog.
How I Help You and Your Dog
My Philosophy
At the heart of good dog training is understanding.
Dogs aren’t trying to be stubborn or difficult. Their behavior is shaped by what they’ve learned, the environment they live in, their genetics, and their individual needs. When we take the time to understand those influences, training becomes clearer and more effective.
Many new dog owners feel frustrated because they’re given quick fixes or unrealistic expectations. When those approaches don’t work, both the owner and the dog can feel confused.
My philosophy is that the first step to successful training is helping you understand your dog. When understanding grows, communication improves, trust develops, and real progress begins.
My goal isn’t just to teach dogs what to do — it’s to help you and your dog build a better life together. 🐾
Problems I Solve
I work with owners experiencing challenges such as:
• Pulling on the leash
• Jumping on people
• Excessive barking
• Poor attention or listening
• Difficulty managing behavior at home
• Dogs that seem distracted or out of control outside
Often the issue isn’t stubbornness or disobedience—it’s that the dog and owner are not communicating clearly.
Training helps bridge that gap.

Nick was amazing in teaching the dog as well as my husband and I. I would highly recommend him for training. It was nice that he came to our house so our dog was in her own environment.
Denise Reidelbach
My basenji has learned some of the best basic commands from Nick!! I highly recommend using Good Dog Happy Owner!!
Eric Martz
Nick was great at helping me understand how to work with Piper. He helped us communicate better, and Piper has improved in her behavior since we started working with Nick. He's a great guy, and I highly recommend him.

Meet Jack and Jimmer. A couple of 8 week old mixed breed boys we rescued in April. They just completed their first series of puppy training with Nick Garrison of Good Dog Happy Owner Training. Nick is incredible to watch as he trains and interacts with our dogs (and the adults). My wife and I learned so much from Nick's comprehensive program. He is very experienced with young dogs. Nick is a true professional, with results oriented methods. The dogs love when Nick comes to our house for training. We trust and recommend him highly!

Fantastic training sessions! Very organized and straight to the point. I specially loved the PDF copies of our training sessions for future reference, the continued support, and the training videos for visual reference. Thank you!! I can see the difference in just a few sessions!
