Golden State Canine

I will try to keep this short and to the point. I've known Aby for a few years now. I met him at a sport dog training group where he was training his two dogs. His handling was clear and his dogs really enjoyed working with him. I also had seen his client dogs and how well trained his clients were. The amount of hard work he put into them and his coaching style with others was impressive. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work with him with my personal dog Freyja. I had been obsessing over our "heel" and felt I was making slow progress. In working with Aby, he was able to give clear direction on what steps I needed to add and where I needed to take steps back. We made solid progress and I was able to take my dog to the level I had been working so hard for. Aby is realistic when i

Where do I begin? I had the pleasure of meeting Aby July 2023. I was working on engagement and play with my dog Aero so I could start him into more advanced obedience and sport. Aero and myself needed a lot of work. Aby provided a detailed plan and goals to achieve. Aby helped me understand that I needed to keep Aero on a leash until I could trust he wasn't going to take the toy and go wander around during sessions. I continued to practice at weekly meetings. Aby was very consistent with reaching out to see how I was doing and giving constructive feedback. He would tell me to play with Aero so he could see what needed more work and never made me feel anything less of a person. His patience and kindness have constantly encouraged me to keep on trying nd not give up. After tiring hot summer

This is LONG overdue review. Aby trained my stubborn 1 year old dog argentino in 5 weeks in his bootcamp. My dog was challenging to train for me, as she was not food motivated at all, and she would spit out the treats instead of eating them when trained. She was absolutely perfect when we picked her up but now almost 1.5 year later my dog: - perfectly walks on leash ( heels, and never pulls even on loose leash) - has perfect recall off leash ( even when there are other dogs nearby or distractions) - knows how to play with dogs when I let her - never jumps on bed uninvited - goes to her cage or her spot and stays there without complaining - she can be taken everywhere, from hotels, stores, wineries, and behaves perfectly: just waits by my side. - ignores other dogs passing, bikes, skateboa

My dog came back completely untrained, I'm unsure how or why that happened. The trainer was supposed to show me what he taught her but was allegedly sick so he was unable to do so when I picked her up after the 5 weeks she stayed there. I told the trainer the next day after picking her up that she seemed untrained and he told me that she was just excited to be back home and he still needed to teach me how to handle her. We scheduled a session so he could show me how to handle her but it got cancelled due to the rain which is understandable but then when I tried to reschedule with him he didn't answer any of my calls or texts anymore. Which I feel like double confirmed my suspicion of her not having been trained. Eventually I stopped reaching out and ended up disputing the charges with m

I will try to keep this short and to the point. I’ve known Aby for a few years now. I first met him at a sport dog group training where he was training his two personal dogs. Both dogs were on point and his handling was clear. I then saw Aby with his client dogs and saw his coaching style with others. I wanted to learn more from him and was fortunate enough to work with him on my own personal dog. His coaching, level of patience, and his direct nature were very helpful in learning what I needed to for me and my dog. My dog was beginning to improve her obedience and her “heel” that I was obsessing over and making slow progress with finally came through. I then trialed my sport dog and met the goal I had been pushing towards for years. In both the sport aspect and the pet dog aspect, Aby
