Our Owner and Trainer, Gary Merullo, is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). He has worked with and trained Pet Dogs for many years, and he believes that Basic Obedience and Good Manners Training is the most important foundation that you can give to your Dog, resulting in the happiness and well-being of the Pet and the Pet Owner.
Good Rascal Dog Training offers Private Training in Basic Obedience and Good Manners, and Advanced Obedience and Off-Leash Control. We also offer Boot Camp Training for the busy Dog Owner that does not have the time necessary to work with their Dog on a proper foundation of Basic Obedience and Good Manners. The Training is done at your home, or at some other setting of your choice. Positive, gentle methods are used, making training fun for both The Dog and The Dog Owner.
Good Rascal Dog Training was created to offer quality, reasonably-priced Pet Dog Training in the Atlanta Metro Area. We are based out of Kennesaw, Georgia, and our Dog Training Service Areas include: Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Midtown, Vinings, Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, Towne Lake, and the surrounding areas.
Private Training (Basic Obedience and Good Manners)
We offer One-On-One Private Dog Training at your home or at a mutually convenient location. Your dog will learn the Basic Obedience Commands, and General Good Manners. We recommend this One-On-One Training because this will give your Dog the individual attention he/she needs. Our Dog Trainer can set the pace of the Training based on your dog's responses and special needs. In Private Training, our Trainer will work with the Dog and the Dog Owner, to make sure that each lesson is completed successfully. Please see our Basic Obedience Page for Details.
Good Rascal Boot Camp for Basic Obedience and Good Manners (Day Training)
Let our Certified Dog Trainer do the work for you. Gary will come to your home 4 days a week to work One-On-One, Training your dog in Basic Obedience and Good Manners. You will only need to meet with the Trainer for one of the 4 days. On this day Gary will show you what your dog has learned for the week and make sure that you understand how to give the commands. He will Troubleshoot any problems you may be having, and answer any questions. Please see our Boot Camp Page for Details.
Walk/Train Sessions
The Owner also has the Option of specially discounted Walk/Train Sessions in which the Trainer will come to your Home for One Hour Visits during the week to work One-On-One with your Dog. This is Available to the Owner whether the Dog is a Previous Good Rascal Obedience Student or is Currently in Basic Obedience Training. Our Trainer will first give your Dog a 30-minute Walk to review proper Loose Leash Walking technique. Then he will either Review the Obedience Commands that are in your Dog's current week's lesson, or Review Commands your Dog may be having problems with since previous Training. This does not take away the obligation of the Owner to work with the dog, but it will definitely be an added benefit for the dog. Please see our Basic Obedience Page for details.
