Dog Training- Therapy Dog Academy, Age 18+ - Therapy Dog Academy- Fall (No Dog) Therapy Dog AcademySo, 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 also to excel as a therapy team. Whether you’re working toward certification or are already an active therapy team looking to sharpen skills or learn new ones, this course has you covered. You’ll master essential skills like healing 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.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 (and the first session is usually longer than other weeks).
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.
Please review all class policies/restrictions (there are special policies related to Therapy Dog Academy): Gold+Star+Dog+Training+Policies.pdf (squarespace.com).
You will receive an email with further instructions/forms from the instructor before class.
If a session is currently full, you can still register for the wait list at no charge. If the wait list fills up, we may offer an additional session. Those on the wait list will be the first to receive an invitation to register if another session is added.Instructor: Deb Helfrich Bio: Deb 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.
