We are very appreciative of Terri Kaluza allowing us to rent her facility for our classes. Please read this thoroughly before you attend your first class. After you turn west on 22nd (from West Valley), you'll drive almost to the end of the block. Gold Star will be in the last complex on your left. There are two entrances. Parking is at an angle in front of the building and across the parking area, in front of the shrubs. (There is plenty of parking; you should not need to park on the street.) In the photos below you'll see my van parked to the right of the main entrance (glass door). Do not walk or potty dogs on the other side of the street! Those businesses are not very dog friendly.
NO Parking
ENTER
The photo to the left of this text is a business that absolutely will not allow you to park in front of their unit. Do not park in front of their white roll-up door, main door or their end of the building, regardless of the time of day.
​
POTTY AREAS: You can potty your dog in the shrubs in front of the facility OR in the bark area across the driveway that adjoins the neighboring building. There is a poop bucket in front of the Gold Star door, as well as alongside the neighbor's building.
​
As the sign says on the Gold Star front door, picking up poop is MANDATORY! If you see any poop, even if it is not from your dog, please pick it up.
The next three photos below this text show the Gold Star lobby. This is the area that day care dogs come/go, so please be considerate of them. Also be careful and keep a close eye on your dog so it doesn't pee or lift its leg in the entry.
​
There is a retail area with treats and toys to the left of the lobby. If you want to purchase something, let me know. I will have an envelope to take checks (payable to Gold Star) or cash.
​
The bathroom is straight ahead and on your right.
​
​
The next three photos show the training room we will be using.
​
Please bring a soft crate or cot, and place it against the wall on the left. There are chairs leaning up against the wall for your use. If you are the last class of the evening, please fold up your chair when you are done and lean it against the wall.
​
Try not to block access to the equipment alcove. If necessary, a couple of crates can go in front of the grey roll-up door at the end of the room.
One final photo showing the outside area of the facility.
