About

good DOGMA was started by Loren Stephens to provide a successful alternative to common dog training in the New Orleans area.

Having “passed” several local training programs only to have them fail in the real world, Loren felt the need for an alternate approach. This theory emphasizes communication, understanding, and trust. Adhering to no single training method, this holistic approach relies on the study of pack structure and animal behavior. Based on extensive research including a month of full-time dog training school in Colorado and continued study, the good DOGMA solution is custom tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

Whether you have a new puppy, need to instill manners, want basic obedience or greater off-leash control, need help easing your dog’s anxiety or suppressing dominant tendencies, or just want to increase your dog’s mental and physical stimulation – we can help!
