Golden Paws Dog Training

The puppy socialization class has been so good for my high energy Auggie puppy! We’ve learned important steps to introducing him to new dogs, people and places. He is becoming much more manageable and he is fun to bring along now. He joined us at Ursa Minor’s very busy dog friendly outdoor patio and he was a perfect gentleman. Thank you so much Angela for giving us the tools we need to succeed!

I did the 6 week puppy socialization class with my Dad. It went great, I learned more things to practice at home. I was able to play with different puppies and play and explore different things I don’t have at home. I had a great time. The instructor, Angela was great. She had some great treat to give me. I had fun and learned a lot. Thank you Golden paws. It was great. Ruff ruff 🐾🐾 ‘Merica

Love Golden Paws training! Great knowledge trainers. Took my 3 year old australian cattle dog/border collie for a behavior private lesson originally to work on resource guarding around our new puppy. I then took the basic and advanced manners class which was a great refresher for me and my dog. I have loved getting to connect with my dog in a meaningful way! We had so much fun with the classes that we do agility and rally which were new sports for both of us! We don’t plan to compete in the dog sports but is a great way to focus some of my cattle dogs energy and purpose! Highly recommend any of the classes at Golden Paws!

Best training I’ve found in northern MN. They use positive reinforcement training methods which has worked great for my dog & what I was looking for. Smaller classes with plenty of room so you’re not too close to other dogs. Nothing is rushed. Training is clear & easy to follow. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to train their dog.

Cooper, our 7 mo old Brittany, just completed Basic Manners 1. The class was well organized with a folder including all the weeks classes given out the first day. This provided a good reference to practice from and see what was coming ahead. We've only had Cooper for 2 months, so needed a basic class and this was it! The building space layout is great with individual areas separated with their own raised dog bed. Angela, our instructor, was well versed on the many breeds present and understood them well. This helped individualize instruction and as an owner on things your dog was not great at she gave positive reinforcement and many times it was just knowing how the breed learns. We live in Ely, and I wish we were closer, but the drive is well worth it! 5 stars for sure! Ellen an
