Gold Hill Canine - Granite Bay, California

Ashley at Gold Hill is amazing! He’s worked with 2 of my huskies Kylo and Padmé and worked wonders. Kylo went to Ashley’s as a one year old pup and is the best dog now. Well behaved and a pleasure to bring everywhere! Then Ashley worked with our 2 year old female rescue Padmé on her resource guarding where when she came home she started learning to share and not be so jealous and angry. I would recommend Ashley over and over again for even the most insanely hyper or agressive dogs. Don’t give up on your pup- take them to Ashley.

Ashley, Megan and Gold Hill Canine are the absolute BEST! We've got a rescue Jack Russell Terrier who came back to us after three weeks of training a changed man! Previously, he was leash reactive and barked at everything. We couldn't take him anywhere and even had to keep our blinds closed all day because he would get set off by the postal carrier, UPS, neighborhood cats, squirrels, animals on tv, the Sacramento Kings basketball games, lizards, the two doodles that live across the street, and even the vultures flying in the sky. After training (him and us!) he's still his hilarious spunky self, but is MUCH calmer and loves going on walks (during the day!) and even in the car with us many places. The training was worth every penny. I'm writing this 8 months after the training to testify that this really works to bring lasting change in all of our lives. For personality reference, I'm including a picture of him doing one of his favorite hobbies-- rearranging everyone's socks.

We just got our 9 month old Doberman back from a three weeks training with Ashley and Liz at Goldhill Canine. It is difficult to leave your pet with someone for 3 weeks, but they made us feel comfortable. My first phone call with Ashley was over 45 minutes, and we talked about an hour at drop off. Then, we had the two 90 minute follow ups before they brought him home. His behavior has significantly improved, and we are excited to continue working on his manners and obedience!

I spent some time out in California with Ashley and had an extremely positive experience. I was just starting out as a dog trainer and he was super welcoming about all my questions. While shadowing Ashley it was obvious that his clients were his number one priority. He offered major support after his training program and really explained things in detailed yet simple fashion. He has a no nonsense straight forward approach. We also did some protection work and Ashley took a lot of time to show me safe handling and technics which I still use to this day. I’d love to spend more time with Gold Hill Canine in the future.

Ashley and Liz were incredibly helpful in the process of adopting our rescue pit bull, Patches. We went to them because we were completely clueless on how to train and care for a dog. Ash and Liz spent a lot of time with us and thoroughly answered all our questions. Ashley and Liz did an amazing job demonstrating their training techniques, and helped us feel confident about Patches’ training and care. Thanks to them, when we were introduced to Patches she was perfectly trained, well-mannered, and she transitioned to our home extraordinarily well. We owe Patches’ smooth transition to Gold Hill’s training and care before we adopted her. Ashley and Liz were professional and personable, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great experience training, adopting and living with a dog.

My dog Ragnar is sooo much better than how he used to be. Rags was trained this past July (2022).
He was a good dog before, but had a problem with his temperment and obeying commands. Now he is a great dog.
We went to High Hill Ranch in Apple ? Hill by Placerville today. Apple orchard with food, crafts, small country stores, etc. It is very pet
friendly. There were several hundred people there with at least 50 dogs on leash. He never barked once even when another dog started barking at him.
He obeyed all commands and never moved once from my side. He WAS the calmest dog there.
