Golden Heart Canine

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.

I am so grateful for everything Becca and her team did to help my boy Moose during his 30 day stay. I could tell he was happy and loved there from all of the updates and videos they posted online. Becca was so helpful at pickup teaching me what to do when I brought him home demonstrating skills and answering 100 questions. The skills have generalized to home, and he is a completely different dog from when I brought him to Golden Heart. I owe them my life. He’s much more confident, able to go in public, not pulling me down while on leash, has impulse control, recall, and basic obedience/manners. Thank y’all so much! 💜100/10 recommend

10/10 Hannah and Becca are the best! Our rescue pup, Milo, is a mix breed cattle dog that came into our lives with some stranger danger issues when it came to meeting other dogs. He also needed some help with basic impulse control and manners. We are amazed with his progress after his 30 day board and train with Golden Heart! They helped us understand his nature and how to work with him to focus his impulse control and avoid triggering situations. He has so much energy and just wants to work and please his handler, it's just his nature. We couldn't be more grateful for the foundation that they laid, though we know it is now up to us now to continue building upon it.
