We first met Terri when we decided to board and train our 6 month GSD while we were going out of town 2 years ago. Best decision we've made for him! He is such a well rounded pup with minimal issues. Terri instilled a solid foundation for us to build off of and we have continued to see her over the years.
Every time we receive compliments for Khal (our GSD) we send them her way. Not only is she great at what she does but I can identify with her. When you meet her, she does not come off like a stereotypical trainer. She is warm and welcoming but when it's time to train she is commanding and the dogs respond well.
What I appreciate most about Terri and her husband Andy is their willingness to help. This past weekend we had to leave town for a memorial on short notice. She responded quickly and we dropped off Khal the next day to board him. It's comforting to know our dog is boarded with someone he not only loves, but loves him, and upholds his training as well.
If I could give more stars I would. Thank you, Terri and Gold Star Dogs!

My rescue pup, Abby, was a terrified, abused 3 month old pup when we got her. I started her at Gold Star Dog School within a month of bringing her home. She has see huge improvement even though we missed several classes.
I was involved in a head on collision and wasn't able to perform the classes with Abby so I decided to start her coming to Day Care on occasions with a little extra one-on-one time with Terri. Abby would come home so relaxed and ready to just hang out with me while I recovered. Her fear response was much lower, she is becoming much more reliable in her "recall". I highly recommend anyone with a dog that is just sitting at home, a rescue that needs socializing or a puppy that needs to learn manners and respect to go to day care and or receive some one-on-one time. They learn from the other, well behaved and socialized dogs as to what is expected and to not fear....This is a great team to have and a great way of providing a well rounded and happy life for your pup.

We had a little dog who liked to bark at everyone, who didn't listen and who was still not potty trained (maybe some attitude) Now she is so much happier and let's people approach without them reeling their hand in fearfully when she would once scream before. The vet office couldn't believe the difference in her demenor and even asked what in the world we did to change her behavior so greatly. It was the folks here at Gold Star Dog School! Always very helpful and friendly and our little stubborn puppy is now much happier (as are we!!). Thanks!

My dog is learning lots at Gold Star Dog School. Teacher Terri loves dogs, you can tell by the way the dogs all love her! We especially appreciate her attention to precision and detail in preparing her students for dog competitions.
