FirstBarkI utilize GOHLD K9 on a weekly basis for daycare for my extra-large dog. He also visits for short weekends, has done training camps, and for three-week intervals when I am traveling. He absolutely loves his time there and I get the peace of mind knowing he is safe and well-cared for! We also attended group classes which set him up for success.

We have loved working with Paige at Gohld K9. She helped us take a new puppy through all obedience classes, preparing us to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen exam. We will continue to use these services for all future training/testing needs. All trainers involved at Gohld K9 were helpful with the quirks and needs of every dog and handler team in the classes. Thanks for helping us reach all our goals!
Paige has worked with both of my Great Danes. I am thoroughly impressed with her knowledge, patience and ability to take my reactive dog and help with obedience. We used the board and train program and I couldn’t be happier! We also use her day training packages for our little one. I highly recommend them!
We have been so happy with GOHLD K9! We’ve done multiple group classes with Paige and are now doing 1-on-1 lessons for our dog who has reactivity issues. We love Paige’s approach/techniques and love how she interacts with our reactive girl. We are so thankful to have found Paige and highly recommend her to everyone!
We could not have had a more positive experience with Paige. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient, and positive toward both her four legged friends and their owners. She did not push her personal agenda or dog expectations on us...rather, each session was tailored toward exactly what we needed & wanted to work on with our puppy. We learned so much from her during each session.
