Lucky Star Dog Training

Jen and Aaron are amazing!! We have a rescue mutt that we took to them at around 7 months for the 3 week board and train. She is very smart but was very reactive. She pulled like crazy on walks, jumped up on everyone, and barked incessantly at anyone walking by our front fence. Now she is super well behaved. She walks off leash and stays in a really good heal when asked, not being distracted by birds or other dogs. They do wonders with dogs but you also have to go home and continue the work and be comfortable using the e collar. She sends pictures and updates during training and checks on you regularly the first week after training. Even after that she has answered any questions we have. We would highly recommend Lucky Star!!

This review is long overdue — but I was reminded to write it after the most incredible walk with Rory. No leash. Heeled perfectly on my left the entire time. He stopped when I stopped, didn’t react to people walking by or dogs across the street, and even seemed to look both ways at the crosswalk. When we got to the gas station, I tied him up, gave him a “place” command, and he stayed in the exact same spot until I came back. Then we heeled all the way home together, calm and connected. Walks are actually enjoyable now. I can feel how excited he is, and when I finally “free” him near home, he takes off running and jumping like a total goofball — it’s hilarious. Jennifer is truly a miracle worker. Rory stayed with her for three weeks, and even though it was tough to be apart, I would do it all over again. This has completely transformed our relationship, and I’m so grateful.

It's hard to even articulate what a difference Jen and Aaron have made for our family!! We sought them out after recommendations from friends but I was having trouble stomaching and justifying the cost. After getting our nearly 7 month old labradoodle, Macy, back last week I am positive it was worth every penny. It is so much more relaxing and enjoyable to have a dog who you can truly communicate with and who has impulse control! Before training our kids wanted to walk her but couldn't because of the pulling and biting the leash. Now they can take her off leash and she's right there, listening/paying attention to them. We can have people over and they aren't attacked by her love and she's not a sock thief anymore! Jen did such a great job of really helping us see what Macy was capable of and explaining everything so we could take her home and continue to reinforce the training. She was great about asking what questions we had and answering anything that comes up. We've already got boarding scheduled for a few different times through the summer and know she's going to love it! I have no doubt we're going to reap the benefits of this training for years to come!

My 7 month old high energy lab did board & train with Lucky Star and it’s been great so far since she came home last week. We’re still working through some fine tuning but she has a great foundation for learning and is much more focused when I’m giving her commands. You can tell that Jen really loves dogs and wants the best for the dogs and families she works with. I look forward to using Lucky Star for boarding needs so my pup can be well cared for when traveling.
