WE LOVE WHAT WE DO & IT SHOWS
🗣️ “If you want a militantly rigid obedience course taught by overly serious people, don’t go to Go Anywhere Dog classes.
If, however, you want relevant—and fun— training for life with your pooch, this is the place for you and your dog."
Julie Tilsen
Bumper's Mom
Minneapolis, MN
🗣️ “Our dog has made tremendous progress in just 5 weeks. If you want a dog to be a great family member, GAD is the place to go.
We tried other obedience classes, but none are as thoughtful and loving as Jody’s classes.”
Karin Lund
Penny's Mom
Eden Prairie, MN
🗣️ "We love GAD! Our pup has blossomed through the classes, making great progress with manners & obedience.
This is the best dog school I have found that teaches skills and obedience that are applicable in the real world.

A FULL DOG TRAINING PROGRAM
This class builds confidence, impulse control, and foundational obedience skills like sit, down, leave-it, stay, touch, spin, twirl, and peekaboo. You’ll learn how to recognize and understand your pup’s stage in development. We’ll also address jumping, counter surfing, and leash pulling.
The training wheels are coming off! We take all of the behaviors you learned in Life Skills 101 and start making them more reliable. We also teach ‘By My Side’—our version of heel. As your pup enters adolescence, we’ll help you navigate those big teenage emotions with patience and confidence.
Impulse control meets real-world challenges! We work to perfect all of your behaviors so that they’re dependable in day-to-day life. By the end of this course, your pup will come when called—even through a tunnel of distractions (yes, even hamburgers!). We’ll ensure that your pup can hold a stay even when you leave the room.
Take your training to the real world! Practice your pup’s skills at breweries, parks, and bustling locations like Lake Bde Maka Ska. Learn expert tips for successful outings and discover the freedom of having a Go Anywhere Dog!
WHO ARE WE HELPING HERE?
Check out our Ultimate Puppy Training Packages, which combines our private in home puppy training packages with group classes, zoom consults, VIP perks, and more.
Every level is taught off-leash. For real. We separate our classes by size and play style so everyone can get in on the fun, and your dog learns how to focus on you no matter what. We also bolster your classroom learning with:
Life happens! Clients who have purchased any of our class packages are eligible for one free make up session per level. They can also call on one of our dog nannies for an additional fee. We will pick up your dog and take him to class, where an experienced trainer will bang out reps and give him lots of lovin’. If you have registered for a single class only, we offer make-up sessions when available for an additional $40. If all else fails, you’ll still be able to complete the work at home thanks to our weekly homework and class recap emails.
Five weeks! Try your best to schedule your classes around your dog’s spay or neuter surgery. Each dog training class is important!
Each class is 45 minutes long. Over the years, we’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot for class length. Your dog is guaranteed to go home tired, but he won’t be overworked. We’re working around your pup’s developing attention span, and ensuring that he enjoys his time in class.
We offer classes Monday through Friday with class start times ranging from 4:30-7:30PM and Saturday Mornings.
Yes. Age appropriate vaccinations are required, but that doesn’t mean your puppy needs his entire vacation series to be complete. Puppy class is so important to your dog’s overall health and wellbeing that it outweighs the minimal risk of catching something in class. Please read what the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior has to say about attending puppy classes before your puppies vaccinations are complete.
Whether you’re out sick or just plain ol’ busy, our Puppy Nannies come to the rescue! We’ll pick up your puppy, take him to class, and cram in lots of practice at the hands of a professional. You don’t have to lift a finger, but you still get to enjoy the tuckered-out puppy we deliver back to your house. This option is only available to our clients who register for a class package or our Ultimate Puppy Program, and is an additional fee per use.

🗣️ “Still hard to believe that I got wiggly 7-month-old Felix to happily cooperate while there were other wiggly pups in the room.
And it’s true—if you follow the steps in Jody’s videos, you and your dog will succeed in learning."
Christy Klancher
Felix' Mom
