“I highly recommend Sheila at Good As Gold K9! I initially contacted Sheila for help with my 2 year old rescue, Zuko. He was terrified of storm drains and wouldn’t cross a street if he saw one. From the first conversation, before even setting up an appointment, Sheila was giving me advice on the phone. Her knowledge and passion for truly wanting to help both dog and owner was apparent from that first phone call. The more we talked, the more things I realized she could help with. As soon as Sheila came to my house, she immediately got to work. Some trainers come in and start telling you all you do wrong- Sheila isn’t like that! Her methods are positive, and Zuko loved every second of it. Sheila is able to explain what she’s doing as she is doing it, which is incredibly helpful. Sheila’s programs are a great mix of watching her, and then trying what she did. Within one session, I learned how to start helping Zuko with his fear, calm his excitement (he’s overly friendly to people and animals), and train guests in my house to ignore his negative behavior. In addition, we both got a lesson in loose-leash walking, and walks have become something we BOTH look forward to. Sheila is realistic and has multiple ideas to help with one situation. I have seen a tremendous difference in Zuko’s behavior since working with Sheila. Sheila’s rates are competitive, and scheduling is flexible. She does not force her customers to buy multiple sessions at once, and was willing to work with us on an as-needed basis due to budget concerns. Sheila is always available via phone or email, and responds promptly with suggestions.” Thank you, Sheila for all you do!
