What Reviews Say
21 reviews analyzedGood Dog Academy receives predominantly positive reviews praising its clean facilities, excellent training expertise (especially from Marti), and happy dogs who love attending. However, serious concerns include breed discrimination against pit bulls, allegations of dogs being confined indoors until late morning, potential safety issues with fencing, and a pattern of defensive communication from owner Marty when faced with criticism. Long-term customers (3+ years) are common, and manager Hector receives consistent praise. The owner responds to all reviews but can be defensive with negative feedback.
