Aversive Training Methods
However, one reviewer, Cb E., has strongly criticized Doggie Do Good for its use of aversive training methods, including shock and prong collars. Cb E. claims that these methods are inhumane and damaging, and that the company's trainers are uneducated and unprofessional. The reviewer also alleges that Doggie Do Good is dishonest and secretive about its training methods, and that the company has blocked them on social media after they questioned their techniques.
Customer Service
Other reviewers have praised Doggie Do Good's customer service, with Nicole Gutierrez and Matthew Paine both stating that the staff are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Gutierrez's German Shepherd was trained by the company, and Paine has taken three of his dogs to Doggie Do Good for training.
Dog Boarding
Emma D. has given Doggie Do Good a 3-star rating, citing the high cost of boarding (up to $150 per night during holidays). While she appreciated the company's friendly staff, she felt that the prices were too high compared to other boarding facilities.
