FirstBarkWe are in our second dog class with Phoenix, our 7 month old Australian Shepherd and very impressed with our trainer and the structure of their classes (puppy socialization and beginner obedience). The facility itself is beautiful and allows for lots of room but yet class sizes remain small.

Community answer · Golden Paws Dog Training · 2025-09-21
When is the best time to start training my dog?
It's best to start when your dog is a puppy! The important socialization period is from about 3 weeks of age until about 14-16 weeks of age, and it's super important that you properly socialize during this time. Our puppy socialization package gives you that opportunity to socialize and start to train your dog. The manners classes will help your dog learn basic manners and obedience skills.

Highly recommended this place to anyone. I love how they use positive reinforcement.
This is the second dog we’ve done training with Golden Paws. I love their PAWSitive reinforcement methods. It builds a happy dog and a great relationship with them.
Informative and educational for children, adults, and of course, your favorite "kid"! There are so many things to learn. Clean and organized also. Just a good place!
