We’ve been very impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise at All Star Dog Training in training our 16 week old goldendoodle. We did a 15 day board and train program and when Brody came back to us, we could already see the results of the hard work the trainers put into him. We also feel equipped to continue the training at home that he received at school thanks to the trainers teaching us all the “how to’s” for home life. The “train as you live” motto is very helpful and doable for everyday. We appreciate all the trainers and staff at All Star and we highly recommend them. Thank you!

Michael and his team were great from the initial evaluation to the in-home visit at the end. All the trainers were knowledgeable and helpful, paying individual attention to us and our needs. We didn't get just training for our Cavapoo Winston, we learned a lot ourselves and how we play a part in the process. Highly recommend All Star Dog Training!

Lucy did the 15-day board and train, and it was absolutely worth it. Before training, she thought “sit” was optional and squirrels were a full-blown emergency.

Lucy did the 15-day board and train, and it was absolutely worth it. Before training, she thought “sit” was optional and squirrels were a full-blown emergency. I loved getting updates, pictures, and videos throughout the program, and by the time I went in for lessons, I could already see such a huge difference in her focus and confidence. The trainers and staff were amazing and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her there. One of my favorite things is that Lucy still gets so excited to see everyone when we come back for training, which says a lot about how well she was cared for. Training is definitely a lifelong process, but the group classes will be a great way to keep building on everything we learned. Lucy still gets a little extra excited when something fluffy runs by but she’s come such a long way, and I’m so proud of all the progress she’s made. The biggest difference is that now we’re able to regroup, refocus, and work through those moments with the guidance and tools we’ve learned from training.

I have recently taken my one year old Australian Shepherd for lessons at All Star Dog Training and he has learned so many commands that have helped me so much! There lessons included so many training tricks that have taught me so much and I have gained a lot of knowledge with his breed and his training techniques!

I recently enrolled my 8-month-old Golden Retriever, Stetson, in a 5-day training program with All Star Dog Training, and I am so impressed with the results. Stetson is an incredibly smart and well-behaved dog, but he struggled significantly with fear and anxiety around bikes, scooters, and strangers. It made our daily walks stressful and limited where we could comfortably go. Thanks to the team at All Star, we have seen a massive transformation. Stetson is now walking through our neighborhood, local parks, and stores with so much more confidence. While he still has moments where these things feel a little scary, the tools and support we received have given us the ability to navigate those situations calmly and successfully. Beyond just training Stetson, I also learned so much throughout this process. I feel confident that with the foundation they provided—combined with a little extra time and patience—Stetson will continue to grow into the well-rounded Golden Retriever I know he can be. I honestly can't imagine where we would be without their help. If you are looking for professional, effective dog training, I cannot recommend All Star Dog Training enough!
