Mike Caporicci

Owner & Master Trainer at Golden State K9 Training

Master Trainer, Aggression specialist, Behavioral Specialist, Personal Protection Training Specialist, and In-Home /customize training specialist, Training of all breeds, and specializing in Cane Corso’s and the Mastiff /Bully Breeds.

I’m a Master Trainer with over 32 years of Protection training for families. All of my trainers are trained by me, as of all of our dogs here at Golden State K-9 trained by our trainers. My passion is putting a well trained dog into a family. But our main concern at Golden State K-9 is that all of our dogs are and have to be EXCELLENT with children, or they do not get sold to anyone. I have always believed that we are only as good as our clients; this is why our clients get fully trained.

One thing about me is that I will not sugar coat, or cut corners to get a contract! I want my dogs going into a home where the clients understand this is not a “Robot” or a “Computer” where you can just program it to do what you want! Our clients come away with the complete understanding of what their new companion can do, how to communicate with them clearly and that takes complete training for them by my trainers. Our dogs are Body guard/Companion that our clients can and do take everywhere.
