So very grateful we found you!!! You explained the needs of a dog so well to us and why it’s important for us and our dog that we all participate in training. I appreciate that you worked so well with our son and were patient with all of us. We are all (including Zaine) so much more calm and understanding of one another! Thank you so very much and looking forward to working with you in the future!!!

Paige and her pack at Gohld K9 have been a part of my Doberman's training since he was 11 weeks old. I cannot speak highly enough as to the amount of help her training of not only Stout, but myself as well, has done for the relationship with our dog and everyone in our home. We have taken her basic obedience course, as well as a 3 week board and train. Dobermans are high energy dogs and she has helped shape our boy into a fine young man at 2 years old. We get compliments everywhere we go on how gentle and obedient he is in public. Even around other dogs. It has been an amazing experience thus far in utilizing Paige and her knowledge to help shape Stout into a well mannered boy. If you have a "spicy" pup that needs some manners and boundaries set, Gohld K9 has the experience to help not only your pup, but you as a handler. Paige has dedicated her life to dogs and to her craft. To knowing dogs and their needs. No matter what your situation, GOHLD K9 can, and will help you achieve your goals with your pup. Definitely a 5 star rating from Stout and I. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paige is beyond exceptional! We had so many questions about our rescue dog and she was so very helpful and knowledgeable. Paige is also very compassionate about dogs. You can clearly see how much she cares about dogs and their well being. I highly recommend her!!
Paige is so good with dogs of all types! She helped my mom's overactive Shepard cross to obay on leash and be comfortable around other dogs! She always treats every dog individually and comes up with personalized plans for dogs and their owners!
