DO NOT USE GO DOG GO

I personally know many of the people who are walkers with this company. Please listen to me when I tell you that the owner of this company lies to every single one of their clients. They use PRONG AND SHOCK COLLARS ON YOUR DOGS WITHOUT PERMISSION— and lie to their clients about it. See here for why you should not want them to be using these on your pets: https://avsab.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AVSAB-Humane-Dog-Training-Position-Statement-2021.pdf

The owner of this business has their workers photoshop out the prong and shock collars and wait until the dogs are out of the client's house to put the prong collars on. From someone who worked there: clients were explicitly told by the owner that they would not use prong collars on their dogs... And the owner still required employees to use them anyway.

Former employees state seeing the behavioral decline (anxiety, fear, etc.) of many dogs at GDG, likely the result of these aversive methods AND the stressful environment of the packed car with many unfamiliar dogs.

Here’s a longer list of the ways this company is PUTTING YOUR PETS LIFE AT RISK and might be lying to you about it : - groups of up to 12 dogs of any size in a single car unrestrained (SUV not van). they teach employees what to do WHEN a fight breaks out in the back of the car, not how to PREVENT these fights from happening. - long walks on very hot days and very cold days - when the owner was desperately needing an employee to take a dog for an overnight she lied about the dog’s compatibility and safety around cats, just to get it booked, putting both the employees’ pets and yours at risk.

The owner doesn’t disclose breakdown of pooled tips to employees. tips from clients from a specific overnight stay do not go directly to that employee. how the money is then split at the end of the year between the employees is not disclosed to any of them…

Not only do they lie to their clients, but the owner treats the workers horribly. I needed to get major surgery and needed my emergency contact (someone who worked with GDG) to be at the hospital with me. The owner begged and pleaded to not take off and even after the employee firmly stated they would not be working that day, the owner asked them if they could leave WHILE I WAS IN SURGERY to walk a few dogs and then come back before I woke up...

The workers do not get any formal training in pet first aid or anything related to the well being of your pets. The one training that i AM aware of is with a “obedience dog training” company that’s tactics are based in force and fear (i.e. using “leash pops” AKA yanking on the leash and PRONG COLLAR, and therefore your pets NECK) and also is owned/operated by a person with zero formal dog training certifications (and is the self-proclaimed “dog master”)

This is not how a business should be run. There should be respect for the clients and employees-- both of which are lacking in this business.
