What We Do...

Personalized, Reward-Based Training for Real-Life Results

At Golden Boy Dog Training, we specialize in helping dogs and their humans build strong, positive relationships through personalized, one-on-one training. Every session is tailored to your dog’s unique personality, learning style, and goals.

What We Can Help With...

Obedience Support

From puppy manners to problem-solving, we guide you through everyday struggles with practical, reward-based techniques.

Common goals include:

Polite leash walking and focus around distractions
Reliable recall and calm greetings
Confidence building for shy or nervous dogs
Reducing jumping, barking, and pulling
Developing impulse control and focus in busy environments
Building relaxation and self-regulation skills
Obedience cues like sit, down, stay, place, wait, and leave it

Behavior & Reactivity Support

We also specialize in helping dogs who struggle with big feelings like fear, frustration, or overexcitement. Using patient, science-based methods, we’ll help you understand your dog’s triggers and teach them to feel safe, calm, and confident.

Common areas we work on include:

Leash reactivity (lunging or barking at dogs, people, or moving things)
Fear-based or defensive behaviors
Resource guarding (protecting food, toys, or spaces)
Stranger danger and handling sensitivities
Overarousal and difficulty settling
Selective listening or inconsistent response to cues
Confidence and trust-building for rescue or fearful dogs
Redirected or frustration-based biting

Socialization & More Support

Your dog works one-on-one with a trainer to practice skills or build confidence through safe socialization with our demo dogs. Parent-free training days, best for current clients!

Common areas we work on include:

Leash manners & recall
Calm greetings & impulse control
Confidence building & socialization
Focus around distractions
Polite play & handler engagement
