Introduction

In 2020, I established “A Touch of Golden Class”. Ever since, I have been providing loyal and loving pet training and services to the Colorado Springs area and beyond. I have grown to include in-home training, as well as board-and-train, inside my new home. YES! I said in my home. Training your pup in a facility, is all well and fine. However, studies have shown, training in a home environment makes the transition to your home easier. My goal is and has always been to assist in making your pet, your pride! Our focus is to teach you how to get your dog ready for the real world. So that your dog fits your lifestyle, whether it's puppy training or training to become a service dog. Our number one goal is to teach our clients and their companions to have the best relationship possible. We love seeing the relationship between our clients and their companions become a strong working relationship. Once a strong working relationship anything is possible once we have that. We love our furry friends! From running around in our fenced yard to lounging on our comfortable bedding, your dog will be begging to stay here! We provide fun, treats, and lots of love. Our in-home dog care means your fur baby will not feel left behind while you are away. It also means you don’t have to worry about the safety or happiness of your pet! All breeds are welcome! All energy levels are accepted here. Please be honest about your dog so that we can provide the best stay, even if this means you think your dog barks too much or isn't precisely potty trained. It is ok; we got this! Our home is cleaned daily, including toys, bedding, and bowls. The advantage of in-home dog boarding is that your fur baby isn't alone or surrounded by crowds of dogs coming in and out. You do not risk exposing them to kennel cough, injuries during playtime with other dogs, etc. Happiness exists here! It is not just the freedom to roam free in our home and yard that your dog will love, but the genuine affection and attention they will receive! Check us out on our website *********************** or on Instagram!! Give us a call today ******************* Due to Covid-19, we do offer curbside drop off and pickup at customer's request. Also, offering a 10% discount to First Responders (Law enforcement, Paramedics, EMTs, and Firerighters) and Military.

Kathy loves dogs and made my Rainey feel comfortable. She knows her dogs, so they welcomed him to the pack slowly and he enjoyed his stay. He will go for daycare and overnight visits again.

I had never had the need for anyone to care for my now 8 year old dog, Tilly. Due to family circumstances that required me to leave town, it was necessary to find someone to help me out. My choices were a kennel where she would be crated for most of the day, taken to a small area to potty, and likely have little or no interaction with other dogs. The other option was private care. When I took Tilly to Kathy's, the decision was easy. The most important gauge for me was my dog. She loved it there from the beginning. Dogs in Kathy's care are outside for most of the day socializing with other dogs, going for regular walks, and no crates unless upon request. Training is also part of the dogs daily routine.I received pictures and videos nearly everyday. Whenever I texted her, which was often, she responded immediately with updates. I had no worries about Tilly knowing that she was in loving hands. My only fear is that she won't want to come home:)! Thank you Kathy, from the bottom of my heart.

I guess you could say my puppy isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. She needed more than 2 weeks.... but Kathy was right with me the whole way making a plan to get her where she needs to be. We are working with her at Kathy’s home and one on one. Kathy will not give up on you or your puppy. I’m so thankful for her.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
make sure you have everything that you expect down in writing
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to actually meet at a park. If possible with all family members come. That way I can assess how the puppy or dog is with everybody in the family. Whether one person calls him and he doesn't come. If he comes to a different person. those are things that I would like to observe. I can more understand. then just sit down and talk to the husband and wife or the adult in the family. to go over exactly what they see. if it is for a service dog, emotional support dog, or a therapy dog those are very specific things that we would have to sit down and go over. I would have to know all of your signs. if you have anxiety, do you start itching before it comes on? that way I can train the dog to those specific needs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
When I was breeding in upstate New York I also volunteered at my veterinarian's office. also volunteered for rescues Foster puppies in my house.
