Personalized Dog Training
Here at San Diego Goldens, we have extensive dog training experience with a variety of breeds and energy levels. Stephanie has always had a dog (or two) at her side since she was a child! Some of her earliest memories are sitting and watching police k-9 training as her dad went through the program with a German Shepherd named Blitz. As a child, Stephanie assisted her dad with training Labrador Retrievers and was in awe at their natural ability to locate and retrieve upland game during hunts. Teaching beginning scent work and tracking skills to young labrador puppies was her favorite pastime. With experience achieving AKC titlework (Puppystar, VHM, CGC, Scentwork, and Rally), San Diego Goldens can help you build a lifelong relationship with your dog no matter what your goals are!
