We LOVE Gold Star Dog School! We've worked with four different trainers here in different types of classes and skill workshops (Beginning Obedience, Intermediate Obedience, Scent/Nose Work, reactive dog classes, polite greetings, leave it! skills, etc) and I would not hesitate to highly recommend every single person we've worked with over the last year. The facility is spacious and clean, everyone is very nice and professional, and our dogs have definitely shown improvement. Cannot say enough good things about these fine folks!

Excellent trainers and facility. We've seen such a huge difference in our puppy based on the tools we've been taught and how to read our dogs behavior. Very highly recommend them!

Great people and facility. The have the standard obedience classes, but also lots of options for other training (ie scent work, agility, calm canine, etc). They also offer detailed workshops (mine, leave it, here, heel, etc), boarding, "play time", facility rental and one on one training sessions. Definitely worth it for "pup people" to check out.

This place is great! My dog loves it! She didn't start out loving it because she had never really been away from her family. But the staff worked very closely and diligently with her (and me) to ease her into being away from me and she very quickly adjusted to absolutely adoring the staff and daycare/day camp. They also take super cute dog pics for holidays and they even do arts and crafts which are too adorable for words. If you are thinking about daycare for your pup, definitely check out Gold Star!
