Dog/Puppy Essentials: Basic Training and Social Skills
This class shows you how to have a happy, confident, well-behaved dog. It consists of: practical straight-up obedience (don’t get dragged down the street, have a dog that comes when called, etc.), life skills (don’t jump on my friends, chill out, don’t chew on me, etc.), and understanding how your dog communicates.
Along with a simple 4-step approach for teaching your dog almost anything, you’ll also get a course booklet and weekly training guides; force-free training; free email/phone support after the class ends; and a student-focused instructor with 20+ years’ experience teaching people and dogs (and a sense of humor).

Instructor: Deb Helfrich, Gold Star Dog Training
This class is a prerequisite for the Therapy Dog Academy class.
Beyond Basics
This class elevates your training by exploring different levels and applications of various skills. If your dog’s leash work is solid, we’ll help you advance it further. If “leave it” is still a challenge, we’ll focus on problem-solving and reinforcing the basics. The environment is supportive yet challenging, with an emphasis on helping each student understand training techniques, troubleshoot issues, read their dog’s responses, and refine their own skills to achieve their goals and become the best partner for their dog.
Prerequisites: Instructor approval or prior participation in a Gold Star class. Dogs should be free of aggression/reactivity towards people or other dogs.

Therapy Dog Academy
So, your dog wants to be a therapy dog? This 6-week course is exactly what you need! Led by Deb—a seasoned therapy dog handler since the mid-1990s with over two decades of experience directing a major therapy dog certification and training program—this course prepares both dogs and handlers not only for certification but to excel as a therapy team. Whether you’re working toward certification or already an active therapy team looking to sharpen skills or learn new ones, this course has you covered. You’ll master essential skills like heeling and polite greetings, gain tools for safe and effective teamwork, and learn to read your dog’s body language, ensuring you can meet their needs while building a strong, rewarding partnership.
Prerequisites: Instructor approval or prior participation in a Gold Star class. This course does not result in therapy dog certification, nor does it guarantee certification. Dogs must have a solid grasp of basic obedience and be free of aggression/reactivity towards people or other dogs.
