“I want to share an event that I was not sure would ever come… A Good Dog Day Behavior and Training is 10 years old this month!!! I wanted to shout out and thank you ladies for all of your help, I never would have been able to get to this place on my own.” 

– Shelly Keel, A Good Dog Day

“My business is doing well and I can’t wait to see where it goes now that I’ve been able to quit doing real estate and focus on it full time. I couldn’t be happier. Taking the first step to attend the Dog Walking Academy put me on the path to where I am today.” 

–Kelly Fahey, Dogsmith of Hunterdon, Hunterdon County, NJ
