Super-interesting day at the ‘Dogs in the City’ conference today with Sam DeJong on the CU method and games for reactive dogs. I must tell you one thing: it was definitely less boring than a day at a corporate sales meeting!!!

Hey everyone! I keep working on my website. I now have a blog there too - called ‘Nala’s wisdom’. She is my twin soul, she inspires me daily and she absolutely deserves to be recognized on my website. I just published my first blogpost. Have a look!

Hey, Toronto dog lovers! Come down on Sunday to meet me at Doggie Fest and Carnival in Toronto at the GAGK9 booth

07/17/2024

And here it is - the official announcement on the GAGK9 page! So excited to be part of the team!

📢 A Good As Gold special announcement 🐾

We are super excited to share that a new team member is coming on board. Dana Patcas DVM, MSc, Dipl. CBST, our newest Dog Behaviour Technologist. We are so happy to welcome Dana as an integral part of the Good As Gold K9 School training team. And there’s even more great news, she will be spearheading a further expansion of our time tested services, into Toronto and the southern Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

With Dana's expertise in both veterinary medicine and canine behavior, she is uniquely qualified to bring our specialized training programs to humans and their dogs.
Again, we are so happy to have Dana as part of the team, and Dana couldn’t be happier to be part of Good As Gold. She will focus on working with puppies and their people. Dana will offer training from puppy beginnings through to the skills people and their dogs need to live happily and safely in our communities today. As well Dana has a specialization in behaviour modification. She’ll be helping dogs and their people work through doggy behavioural challenges. She will be providing one on one consultations and training, as well as group classes and seminars. It is very important to Dana to maintain our sought after one on one attention to our clients. A dog trainer must have an excellent understanding and application of dog training skills and at the same time they also must be as super with people as they are with dogs!

Like all Good As Gold trainers, Dana will build and maintain strong relationships with local dog owners, veterinarians, dog welfare organizations and many other professionals in the industry. This is a dog trainer’s responsibility to the larger dog community and our entire community as well. Together we are building a better world for dogs and their humans to live in. This is why Good As Gold K9 school exists. We are here for you and your four-legged best friend - that bestie you love so much!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and expand our exceptional services to even more new areas!
