I'd like to teach my puppy to do flips! Can you help? She's so smart already!
Hi Ellie, Dogs can generally do almost anything you want them to do, with the right guidance of course. We're happy to know she's that smart already and definitely can train her to do any tricks, including flips, you would like her to do. Please give us a call at 858.413.4952 and we'll be happy to explain about the right fit for your needs. Thank you, Golan Dogs

For our Siberian Husky we took the 4h private training session. From day one, we saw great improvement in our dogs behavior. Thanks to Golan, we mastered how to communicate properly with our dog. Definitely recommend!
Absolute thumbs up.

We noticed some big changes with our 2 year old rescue through a lack of socialization during covid. We had no issues training her as a puppy—she was so friendly and loved to play. She developed a fear of strangers and would shake and growl when meeting someone new. She started to react and nip at dogs and seemed to loose all of her social skills. We became nervous to take her out with us and didn’t trust her around dogs. We kept going back and forth on whether we should hire a trainer or not. She was so well behaved when it was just us in our routine and hiring a private trainer is costly. We are now so relieved that we did, it was worth every penny. We learned so much through our training sessions with Golan. He completely customized our training based on the issues we were having. We were able to see great success without any shock collars, or even treats. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to get a trainer and that it was Golan. Our dog is so much happier now that she is getting what she needs. I never would’ve imagined taking her to a dog park a few months ago, and now we go all the time!

Golan is amazing! He helped my Shepherd relearn to socialize and accept dogs after she was attacked. I used to have so much anxiety just from taking her on walks because I feared we would see another dog and she would lash out. Her fear aggression had gotten so bad that taking her out in public was very challenging. After just 6 sessions with Golan she’s a changed girl! She now loves going to dog parks so she can socialize play with other pups! I am beyond grateful for everything Golan has done for us!
