Lisa Mattingly
I worked with trainer, Lisa M, who was a real lifesaver! The GoodPup home training was extremely affordable, and really addressed the many issues I had with adopting a new shelter dog (older puppy) with several issues stemming from her prior life. Lisa was extremely supportive and patient and tailored our sessions for the "special needs" that our dog, Bella, had. It was a huge help during a difficult transition period and I really couldn't have done it without her help. GoodPup is a great option for home training and I highly recommend them.

BRINGING PEOPLE AND THEIR CANINE FAMILY MEMBERS TOGETHER THROUGH CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE, AND CONSISTENCY. Helping dogs and people with any behavior problem is what I do best. I tailor each training plan individually, as each dog and their human(s) are individuals. I incorporate many different training techniques, based on positive training methods and dog psychology, to modify and change behaviors that are needed in our busy human world to ensure your dog is well balanced and trusted.

I really would like to recommend Mike's ability as a coach. He knows how to coach both dogs and humans to bring about results. Just when you're ready to give up, he's there to support you and prove that it can be done. Thank you Mike! Your help has made the world of difference for us. We're still a work in progress, but we continue to work at it knowing that we can do it!

I got a 7 week old heeler during the pandemic. I had never had a dog before and realized I needed guidance quickly. I am so thankful that Sophie was able to help me through virtual lessons. She really helped me understand what puppy behaviors were normal and what could be done to help our puppy learn in the meantime. Even though it was through zoom, she was able to give great advice on how to socialize our puppy. Thanks Sophie!

Each dog is different, and also a parent. I find the best training methods and techniques for everybody and make sure they can enjoy that time together. Dog training should be fun, if we don't enjoy it, we can't learn and teach anything. I quit my UX Design job for helping people and dogs, I realized that when I help people to make their lives easier and happier, it can be more rewarding than anything.

Highly recommend Boston Dog Butlers overall. Pete - the owner - is really responsive and thoughtful and will always go the extra mile to make sure your dog is taken care of. Every team member who has taken my dog for a walk or a to a dog park or on a hike has been friendly, great with dogs, sent loads of photos and feedback, and just generally wonderful. The dog sitting care is top-notch - you know your dog is getting personalized care and attention at somebody's home (shout out to Brittany and Eddie who housed my small monster for multiple days to her joy).
I cannot recommend James as a trainer highly enough. He has an impressive blend of theory and practice that makes it so much easier to understand the "why" behind the "what." He helps you understand the levers and reasons behind your dog's reactions, which allows you as their owner to operate independently. He gives you the tools to do more than just parrot what he tells you - he helps you understand the bigger picture so you can continue to bring your dog along between training sessions, and links to videos and useful tools/toys that might help. Plus, the sessions are always fun and he meets you wherever works for you - in a park if you are working on recall or at your home if you are working on reactiveness to doorbells.
Also shout out to Jamie who saved my life one day - when they were closed - when my dog managed to roll in horrible, horrible, horrible poo and she gave her a bath (x3 because it was so ground in to her fur) during inventory day out of the kindness of her heart.
Thank you everybody!

I’m Jacqulene (Jac) and the big chunky guy with amber eyes in my cover photo is Rizzo, the very first member of my pack - my dog, my sidekick, my right-hand through life. I’m a relationship-based dog trainer, passionate about bringing balance to the life you share with your dog. Everything that I preach and practice goes back to one golden concept: every dog is looking for the same thing - leadership.

Working myself out of a job! Every time I client tells me we’ve made so much progress they don’t need me anymore (or generally I tell them they’ve graduated!), I want to cry tears of joy. It’s an honor and a privilege to be able to help the next dog!
It was time! I’ve had several great mentors and experiences that have helped shape me while working for others. Now, I get to help humans and their dogs without any compromises.
I have a unique model for client communication using a third party app, allowing (and very strongly encouraging!) clients to contact me in real time in between sessions. The app allows text messaging, audio memos, photos, and videos to be shared. If there are multiple people in your household, everyone will have their own (free) account and we will have one group so everyone knows what is going on. When—not if—something comes up in between sessions, I expect to know about it!! You’re the one paying me, so bother me! It is MUCH easier to answer a question in a 5 minute audio message back to you than to “fix” something a week later you worked on sub-optimally because you didn’t want to reach out and bother me. The app allows you to message 24/7 without texting me directly at 2 am, for example. I usually respond within hours, but maybe within a day.
No, I do my work in person. I will take calls ahead of time to talk with you, but I typically do not train people to train their dogs online anymore.
I will respect any wishes you have for mutual safety. I will inform you if I am sick and offer to wear a mask or reschedule based on your comfort level.
