7:15 PM - 8:15 PM    Dog Training- Beyond Basics, Age 18+ - Beyond Basics- S1
Beyond BasicsThis 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 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. There are two registration options for this class:Option 1: Register with your dog This registration reserves a spot in class for one dog and up to two adult household members (children are permitted to observe only; please contact the instructor in advance).  Option 2: Register Without a DogThis registration is for one person, or up to two household members, who would like to attend the class without a dog. It’s ideal if your dog isn’t a good candidate for a group class, but you still want to work on training at home with support and information. This option allows you to benefit from the class even if it’s full, your dog isn’t ready for a group class, or you do not have a dog.Notes: Dogs do not attend the first session. Dogs should be free of aggression/reactivity towards people or other dogs (contact the instructor in advance if you have questions about this). Please review all class policies/restrictions: Gold+Star+Dog+Training+Policies.pdf (squarespace.com). You will receive an email with further instructions/forms from the instructor before class. Instructor: Deb HelfrichDeb is the owner of Gold Star Dog Training LLC, based in Fairfax, VT. She enjoys working with dogs and their handlers to solve their challenges, build a healthy dog-handler relationship, and achieve their training goals. She is highly student-focused, adept at explaining concepts, helping every student feel successful, and creating training experiences that are meaningful and effective. Deb’s sense of humor, enthusiastic teaching style, and ability to work with a wide range of students are what clients seem to like about her.

This option allows you to benefit from the class even if it’s full, your dog isn’t ready for a group class, or you do not have a dog.Notes: Dogs do not attend the first session. If your dog has any reactivity/aggression/barking/lunging toward people or other dogs, contact the instructor before registration to discuss.
