About Good Dog Week
Good Dog Week turns common dog problems into short, free, printable 7-day plans: five to fifteen minutes a day, rewards only. It's run by Sangjin Kim, a dog lover (not a certified trainer), from Republic of Korea.
How the pages are made
- Reward-based only. We follow the position statements of veterinary behaviour organisations: no punishment, no shock, prong or choke collars, no "dominance" ideas.
- AI-assisted, rule-checked. Plans and articles are drafted with AI help (Claude) and checked by automated rules before they go live: banned methods, no medical diagnosis or doses, and a "talk to your vet" line on anything health-related.
- Food answers are not AI-generated. "Can dogs eat…" verdicts come from a fixed table we keep by hand, and every food page lists the ASPCA Animal Poison Control number for emergencies.
- Honest recommendations. Some links are affiliate links (see our disclosure). We say who a product is not for, and our free plans never depend on buying anything.
When a plan isn't enough
Aggression, serious fear, separation panic, pain or a sudden change in behaviour need your vet first, then a certified behaviour professional in person.
