How to overwrite model update method

I can simply overwrite the save save method like so

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Do something
        super(Goal, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        # Do something else

How come i can't overwrite the update method in the same way? It doesn't run any of my custom code when updating an object.

def update(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Do something
        super(Goal, self).update(*args, **kwargs)
        # Do something else

save method is what Django uses for updating models. the builtin save() method offers one of the most common operations for Django models: to save (i.e. create or update)

You can override Update method of Django queryset

super(GoalQuerySet,self).update(*args, **kwargs)
