Introduction: Gina Johnson has more than twelve years of experience working with thousands of dogs on manners, obedience, and behavior modification. Gina Johnson has a bachelors degree from a prestigious university studying psychology and animal behavior. She is also a certified professional dog trainer who's knowledge has been assessed with rigorous testing. She is the owner and operator of One Good Dog Professional Dog Training. "I love teaching dogs new behaviors and coaching owners on how to communicate effectively with their canines! I am a balanced trainer who believes in teaching dogs what is expected, reinforcing the behavior around distractions and coaching the owners to continue the behavior after I am no longer in the picture. I love working with dogs AND people." It is so rewarding to see dogs transformed and their potential unleashed. I love dogs and I love working with dog people. My service is customized and personal in a home environment not a big warehouse building. Since dogs are contextual learners, it is an easier transition from a home to a home and the local community. Balanced training is kind, clear and effective with positive reinforcement and fair consequences.

Gina came to do in-home puppy training with our Mr Bentley shortly after he first arrived in our home. He was about 4 months old. He loved Gina and we still use many of the things Gina taught him. After he did STAR puppy training, we did several of the summer group sessions Great time for socialization and reinforcement of earlier training commands and behaviors. Currently, Mr Bentley goes with Gina every couple weeks for day care and work on things we think are important to his continuing good behaviors. Bentley loves loves loves Gina - he loves to demonstrate the things he gets, all in exchange for yummy rewards and high praise.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We often start with a behavioral consultation that is an hour or more in length. This is $90 at my location and a house call is $115 within my travel zone. Day Training is $90 and is very effective just like Board and Train but your dog gets to spend the evening with you!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to find out what the owner wants from their dog. The things they would like them to stop doing (behavior modification) as well as obedience and manners. I do not come with my own agenda. I do not belittle the owner. I know that if they hire me for training, they love their dog(s) and want to do their best for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelors degree on psychology and animal behavior. I was a veterinary assistant and an instructor assistant for the training department of Guide Dogs for the Blind. I worked as an apprentice for a large behavioral training center and was then hired. I trained hundreds of dogs of all shapes and sizes for their day training program. I also did private coaching and taught many group classes. I have owned my own training business working full-time for over 11 years. I have taken many continuing education seminars and workshops.
