I am so glad that I signed up for the puppy class shortly after I adopted Zoey. Paige knew I had specific goals for Zoey and gave us specific exercises during class to help us achieve them. She took the time to understand what Zoey was comfortable with and helped me see the world through Zoey's eyes which has been extremely helpful. Zoey has become more at ease in new surroundings including being around the horses. Paige was always very encouraging to both canine & human. I plan to sign up for another class and may even try taking my 7 yo aussie who could use some confidence building.

Highly recommend Paige for training! She has helped my reactive dog so much. She is smart, patient and kind. So happy to have found her. Even though it's a little bit of a drive for me, she's worth it!!

My wife and I highly recommend Paige and GOHLD K9. We contacted her about our young adult pup and signed up for Beginners Obedience group classes. There was a delay in the class starting, and Paige volunteered to come to our house to get a jump start on Ben's training. That impressed us! She was knowledgeable, caring and kind to our dog. She focused on the areas we needed help the most with and offered so many tips and tricks (that we never thought of) to make walking with Ben a better experience!
She's the best!
