Enriching lives at both ends of the leash since 2018
Since 2018, Heart of Gold Canine has been a beacon of canine excellence. We focus on cultivating a profound connection beyond obedience - teaching a comprehensive understanding of canine behaviors. We work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and behaviors.
​Do you have a good dog, but...
​
-
You are frustrated because they are chewing on your things, mouthing the family, or not asking to go to the bathroom​?
​​
-
You are embarrassed because they are jumping all over guests, pulling on the leash, or making a scene on your walks?​​​
​​
-
You can't trust them off leash because they won't come when called?​
​​

You are at the end of your rope with your dog's problematic/dangerous behavior?

If you're looking for:
-

-
a trainer who spends most of their time talking about the problem instead of solving it...
We're not that. ​​
​
If you're looking for:
-
incredible results
-
top-notch support from trainers who understand what you're dealing with and have an excellent track record for solving problems exactly like yours

You've come to the right place.
At Heart of Gold Canine we are not in the business of "half-training" a dog. If you are looking to band-aid a problem, big box stores have plenty of training options available.
If you commit to your dog, we commit to you - it's that simple.
​
When you "join the pack" by signing up with us for a training program, you’re signing up for a result. Heart of Gold Canine training programs are not based on paying for a set number of lessons, or hours of our time. You get what you pay for, and we do offer payment plans for our students.
We are teach with the philosophy of education first, learning the "why" behind your dogs behaviors. Our students are dedicated to bettering themselves, and committed to learning and growing with their dog. Training happens on both ends of the leash!

​
Training your dog is an investment: financially, physically and emotionally.
As long as you’re willing to put the time in, we’re with you until you achieve your goals.
We’re here for you.
We’re here for your dog.

Testimonials
"Training with Heart of Gold was more than basic obedience; it was about communication, connection, and trust. Octayvia, Lauren, and their team guided us in understanding Ripple’s body language and needs, forging a stronger bond between us. Their approach, grounded in reality yet delivered with compassion and enthusiasm, equipped us with not only the tools but also the confidence to build a stronger relationship with Ripple. [...] Octayvia, Lauren, and their team have our highest recommendation. This journey with them has not only transformed Ripple but has enriched our family life in ways we couldn't have imagined. While the training adventure is never "over" we have found that it is a very special way to grow closer to our dog and each other."
