She worked with my schedule and needs which was the first great part. If you have a planned…read morevacation or something like that she will work with you at board and training your dog while you are gone. She took the time to come to the home and listen to all concerns and what you're hoping for. This is great as not all trainers are willing to do that. In two weeks, my dog is walking so well on the leash now our walks are actually enjoyable. Before, I actually had to stop walking him because I could no longer handle him on the leash as he grew larger and stronger. In other ways I will say he is not much changed. He barks at other dogs sometimes still on walks and still is too close in your face when we eat food and some other particulars that I had hoped would change. I recommend their dog training if you have a specific area you want to change like walking on a leash. You will be happy to see a change in that but maybe not a big change in obedience in general.

As I've moved around Northern California, I've been able to continue classes with Georgeanne. I've…read moretaken 4 dogs through her class starting at Santa Clara Dog Training Club. Georgeanne was one of my first instructors, and waaaay back then, many of the instructors were still using force training like pushing dogs into downs and sits. I can get any 8 week old puppy into a sit in 2 seconds so on earth would you ever need to push an adult dog into a down? Georgeanne was before her time, using praise and allowed her students to bring treats to reward the dogs-but, she's not a cookie pusher trainer. I learned a lot from Georgeanne and was able to show my dog in obedience which in a million years I never thought I would, or could because my dog didn't like being close to other dogs. After her classes, my dog learned to ignore other dogs and pay attention to me 100% of the time. A lot of trainers are set in their ways, and if you don't do it their way, then they don't like you as a student. I've quit many classes because of that. Georgeanne is different. She's sweet, patient, and never judges you. She'll also be honest with you. My last dog was pretty wild, and wasn't ready to go off leash for heeling. Georgeanne will tell you when is the right time for your dog to go off leash heeling and recalls. Nothing worse than having a loose dog disrupting the entire class. Georgeanne is talented trainer and also a good people person.

A lifesaver for our aggressive/anxiety ridden golden doodle!!…read more Gold Hill Canine has been an absolute game changer for us and our 2 year old golden doodle. Our experience with Ashley and his team has been nothing short of extraordinary- we couldn't be more grateful for the transformation they brought us. For the past year and a half we have been dealing with an anxious/aggressive/fearful dog who brought so much stress and anxiety into our lives. Every time we left the house it was an ordeal. We couldn't go on a walk or anywhere without our dog making a scene with both people and dogs. We exhausted many many options including professional dog trainers and a highly ranked behavior program at the SFSPCA where our dog was put on a variety of medications that showed little progress. We got to the point where we were so frustrated and didn't know what else to do in order to help our dog and we came across Gold Hill Canine. After our first phone call with Ashley we knew that he could help us. After sending our dog to Gold Hills 3 week training rehab program - hudson "the golden doodle" came back an entirely different dog. He can finally relax and be calm in his own space and experience the outside world with peace. We are much more confident dog owners after learning from Ashley and feel we can live a normal life with Hudson finally. We are forever grateful for Ashley and his team!!

I brought my puppy to Ashley when she was only about 12 weeks old to start with his Puppy training…read morepackage and she has become the best pup a girl could ask for! After completing the Puppy Training package (about 4 sessions) we continued on with the ecollar training package (an additional 4 sessions I believe) and she just graduated the other day! My puppy knows place, recall, perfectly walking on leash, all the important commands, and overall how to be an everywhere dog that we can take with us to bars, restaurants, parks & more. We are constantly told how well behaved our puppy is and it is simply because we brought her to Ashley early on and his training helped shape her into the perfect dog she is today. I am SO grateful to Ashley for helping get our girl to be our forever everywhere dog. Do yourself a favor and go to ASHLEY!!!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Teresa and are very fortunate that we found her!…read more From the start she was communicative and flexible to our needs concerning both our schedule and puppy. Teresa was able to get to know our dog and initiate individualized training for us and then has been educating us on how to proceed. She is given us valuable tools to continue to lay important groundwork for our family and puppy. We have upcoming appointments with her to work through concerns and questions that arise. Another plus is that she was excellent involving our young sons in the process. You can clearly see her expertise and passion for animals throughout the process. We are looking forward to working with her in the future! Thank you Teresa.

She was 6…read moremonths old and while Luna was super cute, she also needed some basic leash training and manners around people. We decided on 6 private training sessions it was so worth it! Luna is doing very well and we are grateful for Teresa's knowledge, recommendations and encouragement to help Luna be the best dog for our family! We've boarded Luna a few times too. Luna loves Teresa and is always happy to see her. We appreciate the photos, videos and updates on our sweet girl. I highly recommend Release the Hound: Larson k9 for your dogs. Teresa is the best!

Kristen helped train my dogs. I have two dogs. One (Sansa) is a pitbull the other (Sadie) is half…read morepitbull. Both are very stubborn, but very smart. She was able to figure out a way to get through to them and help me learn how to manage two different personalities, ages (senior & an 8yr old) with one having limited abilities and the other running/jumping/hyper. Issue 1) walking them.. sadie the eight-year-old was very energetic and wanted to run or walk very fast. She tended to pull a lot. Sansa The senior, 12-year-old girl walked slowly and very close to me to where I would keep tripping over her so I needed her to learn space. Kristen admittedly said this was difficult to have two very differing dogs and one person walking both of them especially since I have physical limitations myself with struggling from fibromyalgia. She set up an appointment for us to go to A walking trail and worked with us on that, and additionally another issue Sadie was having. Issue 2) when I would take Sansa and Sadie for walks on the trails that were busy Sadie would often bark and spin in circles when a bike would ride past us. I wanted help with this behavior. Kristen was able to find a way to help subdue her reaction. Issue 3) One of the people we live with is very obnoxious and the dogs bark at him every time he enters the room. They don't do this with any other person. I asked her to come to my home to evaluate the situation. She nailed it right on the head what the problem was. She spoke with this person to give him insight into how his behavior was affecting the dogs. Her ability to get through to not only the dogs, but people as well is amazing! He actually heard her! He is a very difficult person to talk to so I was impressed! She also helped trained us to not reward them when they barked at him (which I didn't realize I was doing by letting them stay on the couch & petting them.) I thought I was calming them, but she pointed out it's rewarding what they're doing. So now I get them off the couch when they bark & treat them when they don't. This helped quite a bit. Not only is she knowledgeable but she is very upbeat and positive. She is very sweet and takes her time with you and the dogs. I highly recommend her and we would hire her again! Thanks Kristen you're the best!!

Vader (our pup) was a quick learner and we started the structure at home, but we wanted to help him out with extra training. So we reached out to Prestige K9, and the response was very quick and the phone call to discuss what we wanted out of training was refreshing. We had him boarded over Christmas and new years, even with the holidays the results show - Vader is very attentive, listens to his commands, and is still the fun field lab we dropped off! All of our friends and family are impressed, and we are now those dog owners where people ask "how did you do that" - prestige did it! Do note you still have to keep doing the stuff at home in your routine, but we are very impressed and I would like to note Javier and especially Ally for how well they worked with Vader. We did our first follow up with ally and she is great, she brought out her dog to help Vader train with distractions and they got to play a little. This is where you want to take your dog people! I put a pic of an update they sent us of Vader for Christmas, and a pic of Vader and ally's dog doing place. Thank you guys!
