Asia at Good Manners Dog Training has been so awesome! Nine month old Rocky is still the life of the party but has learned to calm his puppy brain and obey commands, Asia is so encouraging and supportive and empowers us as dog parents to be confidently in charge.

Asia has worked with my little Aussie shepherd since she was 5 months old, now 11 months old. She has learned very good manners, listens well and is easy to have around people and dogs due to Asia's help. I highly recommend her for basic training or other needs beyond that!

We really appreciate the help we've received from Asia, at Good Manners Dog Training. Our dog, Bear is reactive and she is giving us tools to make her the best dog. We couldn't do it without her!

Asia has been an absolute life saver and a trusted mentor when it comes to training. It was very important to find a trainer that could work diligently with me when adding another dog to my family (especially since I have young children ). Asia has been an incredibly helpful resource for me since day one. She truly understands how to adapt training to all different types of circumstances, families, and lifestyles. My puppy, Beck, has totally transformed during his time working with Asia. Beck has gained a solid foundation of manners and how to behave in both the home and in public with lots of distractions. We are incredibly grateful for all the knowledge Asia has shared and couldn’t say enough positive things about Good Manners Dog Training!

Asia has helped me and my dog Rory so much! My dog and I flew together on the plane for the first time and it was only possible because Asia prepared us to do so. Rory held a down stay UNDERNEATH my seat the entirety of the flight. At 6 months old, my dogs basic obedience is better than most dogs I know. We love Asia 🩵

About Me
My name is Asia Poe, and I am the owner of Good Manners Dog Training!
Since 2019, I have helped countless families in the Chicago area learn to build stronger connections with their dogs, and I am excited to bring my expertise to you! I teach my clients how to open up a clear line of communication between themselves and their dogs in order to develop a relationship fostering guidance, leadership, and fun!
I have worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand that every dog and person learn differently. I specialize in creating personalized training plans to help you get to your specific goals for you and your dog!
Many of my clients are just looking for general manners such as polite greetings, leash walking, and a reliable stay. Others are looking for more advanced obedience such as a focused heel, reliable recall, and off leash training. I am also passionate about helping dogs that may struggle with behavioral concerns such as being under socialized, leash reactivity, resource guarding, fear-based aggression, and more! Regardless of what your goals are, I would love to help you out!
