FirstBarkShelby, Kayla, and everyone at Golden Compass are fantastic. From puppy classes, private lessons, to structured daycare, my dog Max and I have done it all! We were able to enroll in a program that was customized for Max and I’ve seen a huge improvement in his behavior and overall confidence. So grateful for Kayla’s guidance and support!

Both of my rescue dogs underwent training at Golden Compass Canine Training, and the transformation has been remarkable. Goose, a 3-year-old with severe separation anxiety, and Moose, a 6-month-old puppy with intense fear reactivity, were in desperate need of help. Goose couldn't be left alone, and Moose was too scared to leave the house. The dedicated trainers at Golden Compass Canine Training crafted personalized plans for each dog, addressing their unique challenges. Thanks to their expertise and care, Goose and Moose blossomed into confident, happy companions. We couldn't have achieved this without the incredible support and guidance of these exceptional trainers.

I have been using Golden Compass Canine Training for my small rescue pup with some abuse trauma & lack of socialization since 2021 & have been nothing but appreciative & impressed! What started as a few monumental day trains for us, later led to her being confident enough to do their Hounds on the Town classes, and since then she’s been going to their structured daycare. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, honest, and kind, and I never have to worry when dropping her off. Of course success also comes from us doing our “homework”, but they give you the tools & feedback to do so and they have helped continue to build her confidence around new dogs & people while at daycare. It’s been so fun to see her come out of her shell away from home and be more well behaved on walks & adventures!
Great training from awesome people.
Lauren is the absolute best, and my boy adores her! Makes training and daycare more exciting for him to see her! I'm so excited for our journey with them as he grows!
