Golden State Canine

Where do I begin? I had the pleasure of meeting Aby July 2023. I was working on engagement and play with my dog Aero so I could start him into more advanced obedience and sport. Aero and myself needed a lot of work. Aby provided a detailed plan and goals to achieve. Aby helped me understand that I needed to keep Aero on a leash until I could trust he wasn't going to take the toy and go wander around during sessions. I continued to practice at weekly meetings. Aby was very consistent with reaching out to see how I was doing and giving constructive feedback. He would tell me to play with Aero so he could see what needed more work and never made me feel anything less of a person. His patience and kindness have constantly encouraged me to keep on trying nd not give up. After tiring hot summer days into the dark night and weeks of focusing on playing, I have made significant progress. Not only in learning how to play with Aero but improving my relationship with my dog and bringing clarity to our sessions. There is no doubt that I will continue to work with Aby moving forward. He is a brilliant trainer and very detailed on explaining what needs to be done to see the change I want. His love for training and dogs shines through. You can always tell when someone loves what they do and it is great to see how much he cares about our success. I highly recommend Golden State Canine for dog training whether it be for pets or for sport, you will see the results you are looking for and have someone pushing you to succeed. Thank you Aby. You are truly a phenomenal trainer and person. Brittany and Aero

I will try to keep this short and to the point. I’ve known Aby for a few years now. I first met him at a sport dog group training where he was training his two personal dogs. Both dogs were on point and his handling was clear. I then saw Aby with his client dogs and saw his coaching style with others. I wanted to learn more from him and was fortunate enough to work with him on my own personal dog. His coaching, level of patience, and his direct nature were very helpful in learning what I needed to for me and my dog. My dog was beginning to improve her obedience and her “heel” that I was obsessing over and making slow progress with finally came through. I then trialed my sport dog and met the goal I had been pushing towards for years. In both the sport aspect and the pet dog aspect, Aby is a trainer that will push you and your dog to become your absolute best. He is going to tell you like it is, and you may not want to hear it; regardless, if you trust in his approach and his training you will see results. I’ve seen various other trainers and handlers see major improvements by working with Aby. Great work Aby. You changed my families life in a solid way.

Aby has been my pups (I have two. Rotweiller/German Shepard mix and a Belgian Malinois) trainer for the past 5 years or so and he great! His initial interaction with the dog is to see what their interaction is with him and me and what their behaviors are.Then he tailors their training based on their personalities. He takes as much time as he needs to train them as well as train you as their handler and guardian. He also asks a lot of questions to make sure he understands what your end goal is to achieve the best pup you can have. He has so much patience, especially towards my high energy malinois. I can call him and ask any questions anytime and he answers almost right away. Because of this, he is my go to trainer for any future pups I get. I personal don't think you will be disappointed with him and his training methods which is a reward based system and the dogs love the rewards whether it is food or a toy.

Aby has been my trainer for several years and has helped me with my pet dogs and working dogs. He has helped me with a variety of training goals, and I have always left each session with new things to help me work with my dog. Aby approaches training from the perspective of each dog. And because of that, he brings out the motivation in each dog. I know I have built a strong bond with each of my dogs because of how Aby and how he trains.
