Golden Heart Canine

"My 2 dogs have very different personalities (1 is a black mouth cur & 1 is a pit bull/heeler mix)& so had very different needs to be addressed. Becca did a fantastic job for setting the foundation for each of them & me. It was very hard for me to be the leader when I myself was not really sure what that meant. Becca spent valuable time with me after the dogs had been trained to make sure the lessons carried over. Thank you so much! They both are doing fantastic with their e-collars, esp when walking at our local park. They need very few reminders to heel. So now where is the guy who always asked me "who's walking who"?"

"It’s been a year since Alaska came home from training at Golden Heart. It allowed a clear channel of communication for her and I to build a healthy and happy relationship where we understand one another. She is at a point where we can now walk without a leash, her recall is great. She can shake, speak, and much more. She no longer fights and even avoids them. Her resource defensiveness has settled immensely. We took our first long road trip this last weekend and did awesome in the car. Here are some photos and thank you for helping us."

"We're so happy we decided to do the board & train program with Golden Heart Canine for our pup, Goose. He is a high-energy, GSP mix who we adopted from a shelter a few months prior to the board & train program at Golden Heart. He had zero training when we adopted him - didn't even know how to sit on command! Even after a group class we did locally, we were struggling with recall, counter-surfing, and lots of anxiety. We chose Golden Heart because it's a quiet, rural location attached to Becca's home. The family-nature and small team made us more comfortable that Goose would get the 1:1 time and attention that we weren't sure would happen in a big city operation. Post training, I think Goose is 10x happier, and we know how to communicate with him which has seemed to reduce his anxiety. I never thought we'd get him off-leash, but you can see from the photos & videos he's doing great. I never once doubted that he was being cared for by the best team possible - we had Facebook updates multiple times a week. As part of the board & train, the team does a few sessions where they train us to ensure we're being consistent. When we picked him up, we did one of the sessions and the team spent SO MUCH EXTRA TIME with us, answering our 1,001 questions. It was amazing - so helpful to make sure we were comfortable with everything he'd learned. He's even going back for a few weeks while we're traveling to board there! I really can't say enough good things about Golden Heart Canine."

"Golden Heart Canine is the absolute best, paws down, when it comes to dog training. We will only use them and have only used them since we got our first pup two years ago. Both our border doodle and mini golden doodle have gone through the puppy kindergarten with amazing results! And our older dog, the bordoodle has been back twice for additional training (if you travel and have to board, why not add more skills?!) - adding the e-collar for reliable recalls and off leash responsiveness. Becca and her team have taken our girls and made them joys as pets. We get compliments of how well behaved our high energy and smart/stubborn dogs are. Our bordoodle can be a tricky one because she’s so smart, but Becca has helped us stay one step ahead of her and we’re so grateful. It’s a huge relief to have someone we trust completely with our dogs. We drive over 2 hours to board and train here without thinking about it - she’s that good!"
