Dog Training

Build Better Behavior with Professional Dog Training

At Gold Star Pet Resort, our customized dog training programs are designed to meet the unique needs of both dogs and their owners. Whether your pup pulls on the leash, jumps on guests, or ignores basic commands, we’re here to help with positive, practical training that fits into daily life.

Our most popular option is the Basic Home Obedience class—a six-week course held one evening per week, focusing on polite greetings, leash manners, and essential commands like sit, down, come, and stay.

Classes are limited to 8 dogs (average 6) to ensure personal attention. Each session begins with a problem-solving discussion, giving owners a chance to address behavior concerns and learn from our trainers—as well as one another. The result? A more confident dog and a stronger bond between you and your pet.
