Board and Train Reviews From Augusta Families
★★★★★
“Kash spent 4 weeks with Ferry Good. Although we missed Kash we received videos and updates on how he was doing throughout the 4 weeks… He explained to us what to do and gave us everything step by step in writing… We were absolutely amazed at how well Kash did.”

“Our one year-old springer spaniel spent five weeks with Ben and Ferry Good Dog Training. During her time with him she perfected Quick recall, loose leash walking, place training, and actually sitting or staying down until she is told she can go.”
Amanda R.
★★★★★
“My 5-yr old GSD had previously totally frustrated 3 ‘professional’ trainers and I was at the end of any hope. At the end of 3-week board & train, I am amazed at what this dog can and will do… My dog was returned to me in excellent condition and stress free.”
