Dog Training

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

Our first trainers are A1K9 Academy, owners Taylor and Terresa Gross, located just 2 miles off the Portland Jetport exit. They have a Guardian contract for Goldiva’s Angels Envy @BourbonShots. Our second trainers are K9 Golden Training in the Boston area, owners Rory Shaughnessy and Haley Tecce. They own @Bambino as their personal pet. Currently, K9 Golden is training puppies Tinkerbell and Domino who are available in 4 weeks for Guardian contracts. They are our pick of the litter females, not to be spayed; available for dog shows for Champion titles at our expense; and, return for breeding by Goldiva only.

In October 2022, A1K9 started professionally training our Guardian Contract pups, Betty & Babe. In January, Lauren and I sent 4 “teenagers,” Sizzle, Opa, Nova and Lita. They made delightful, weekly videos of the pups progression in training; added voice over to the lesson they were teaching. The links from the Puppy page will direct you to the Training page for available Guardian contracts from 4 mth old pups to 1 yr old teenagers.

Both 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!
