CORE BEHAVIORS

At Just Good Dogs Dog Training and Behavior Consulting, we specialize in modern behavior modification that prioritizes your dog's emotional well-being. Our methodologies are rooted in positive reinforcement and the latest behavioral science, ensuring sustainable results without the use of fear or intimidation.

COMPASSIONATE TRAINING FOR DOGS AND THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THEM.

At Just Good Dogs: Dog Training and Behavior Solutions, we believe that every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported. Our training focuses on helping dogs and their families build stronger communication, greater trust, and lasting behavioral change.

Led by Lily, a certified Fear-Free dog trainer and behavior consultant, our work centers on understanding the emotional drivers behind behavior. Dogs struggling with aggression, reactivity, or anxiety are often experiencing fear, stress, or uncertainty. Through thoughtful, science-based training, we help dogs develop new skills while empowering their guardians with the knowledge and confidence to support them.

Specialized Support for Challenging Behaviors

Many families come to us when they feel overwhelmed by their dog’s behavior. Whether your dog is barking and lunging on leash, reacting to visitors, or struggling with anxiety, you are not alone—and there are compassionate solutions.

We specialize in working with dogs experiencing:

• Reactivity to other dogs or people

• Fear-based aggression

• Anxiety and stress-related behaviors

• Difficulty adjusting to new environments

Our approach focuses on positive reinforcement and Fear-Free methods, helping dogs feel safer while learning practical skills that make everyday life easier.

Training That Builds Trust, Not Fear

At Just Good Dogs, we do not use force, intimidation, or punishment-based techniques. Instead, our work is grounded in modern behavioral science and positive reinforcement training that prioritizes your dog’s emotional wellbeing. This compassionate approach not only helps resolve behavior challenges but also strengthens the bond between dogs and the people who love them.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

TILLY'S MOM

INDY'S PARENTS

This is the first time I've worked with a trainer who honoured animals and their inner world on such a profound level, while still being knowledgeable and practical enough to teach Tilly the alternative behaviours I was looking for in the first place. Never once was Tilly's autonomy restricted, there was no force or admonishing whatsoever--and yet, Tilly was obedient and even happy to comply.

Lily is an absolutely knowledgeable and amazing trainer. She helped us with our extremely anxious rescue pup when we first got him, and did such a great job teaching us about his disposition, from how to respect his boundaries to recommending to see a vet behaviorist early on in our journey. Everything she helped us with was instrumental in our pups progress -- we can't thank her enough!

HAGGIS'S MOM

Lily is a true dog whisperer. I called Lily for help with my older dog's aggressive behavior towards a new rescue, and after just the initial phone call, I was hopeful we were on to true unlock. Lily delivered, really making is aware of what the older dog needed and how to make him feel safe and comfortable. After three sessions, and lots of homework in between, we see a huge difference. It's going to be a long road, but I'm confident we'll get there.
