FirstBarkTerri and the trainers at Gold Star Dog School have provided excellent training for my two dogs (and me!) We have worked with them for competition obedience, rally obedience, and for puppy kindergarten for many years and always receive positive, supportive training approaches that are very helpful. I highly recommend Gold Star.

We take our dog, Harley, frequently for doggy daycare. It's convient and he comes home happy and exhausted.
Our Blue Heeler required some anti-agression training. Jean Whitehead offered up some very useful tips and things to work on. Very satisfied.
I have completed puppy kindergarten and several puppy socialization hours with my 4.5 month old Goldendoodle. Archie loves the environment and the instructors and always runs into the building. Jean and Terry do a great job starting the young ones off right and create a positive place of learning for both dogs and their humans. Archie will begin their basic obedience class this week.
Love Goldstar dog school! Arlo and I learn so much! Terri always has new techniques to try ...... that are very effective! 👍👍👍
