GoodPup
One-on-one dog training over live video chat with certified trainers
About
GoodPup pairs dog owners with certified trainers for weekly one-on-one video sessions, daily training goals, and unlimited text check-ins between calls. Its approach is built on positive reinforcement and covers potty training, basic cues, and behavior problems, with training done at home where the dog is most comfortable. Third-party reviews report pricing around $34/week; a Sacramento city shelter partnership page notes over 50,000 dogs trained. It is human-led remote training rather than an AI product, which matters if you are looking for automated coaching.
