Dog Training

Goldiva Goldens is proud to collaborate with three amazing dog trainers who own Goldiva pups. They are sharing educational training videos for building a solid foundation for a well-trained dog.

A1K9 Academy, owners Taylor and Terresa Gross, located just 2 miles off the Portland Jetport exit. They have a co-owner contract for Can CH Goldiva’s Angels Envy @ BourbonShots “Envy” and Can CH Goldiva’s Hell or High Water “Tate”. They have training videos for Lauren’s adults available for co-owns Bennie and Dulce. View Videos.

K9 Golden Training in the Boston area, owners Rory Shaughnessy and Haley Tecce. They own @Bambino as their personal pet and Tinkerbell our future show dog. Currently, K9 Golden is training our show puppy, Bibi Dahl (James Bond theme)  for a co-owner contracts.  Bibi’s parents are Am GCHS Mardovar’s “Forrest” ex Can GCH Goldiva’s Vesper. View Video.

The Wayward Canine, Alyssa Normandie & Joshua Knowlton, Merrimack, NH.  and train/show in obedience for all breeds and protection dog sports. Valak holds the national title for PSA1. You can follow the dog training @thewaywardcanine. They co-own our baby stud puppy, Goldiva’s Tailgate  Buckeye “Bru”. You can watch Bru’s training progress @golden_approach_dogtraining. Alyssa & Josh are currently training our lovely Tia Maria with a very funny bengal kitten who attacks Tia in training but puppy is completely focused on Alyssa. View Video. 

All three trainers offer an 8 week training program for puppies 8-16 weeks old to jump start potty, crate, house and leash training (no harnesses); plus, social and obedience training for sit, down, stay, recall, wait, place, etc. The 6 month old pups and older dogs have a different program for 3 weeks board & train. We’re really excited to show off their educational and entertaining videos of Goldiva pups.  A well-trained puppy has a solid foundation to grow on. What you Allow is what you Teach. A well-trained pup is a reflection of its owner, everyone benefits. It takes time, praise and repetition in training. Enjoy!
