North Star Canines

Virginia is amazing. No one else I feel as comfortable with or Trust when it comes to my dog's care. Her attention to detail, professionalism and to ability to capture the overall cuteness of all the dogs together in daily photos is our favorite. We always feel like our dog is safe and will cared for whenever we leave her. Also she has really helped us to train our dog... I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!

We have been fortunate enough to work with Virginia for several years and she is hands down the BEST trainer out there. Virginia worked with our Cavalier on leash walking, bird & squirrel obsessions, and general commands with great success. We got detailed notes and suggestions and demonstrations that have helped us so much. We also board with Virginia and NEVER worry about our dog when she is with her as we know she is in the best of hands. We get lots of adorable updates and photos and our dog is always so excited when we get to Virginia's house which tells us everything we need to know. Virginia is so warm and sweet and has incredible experience and knowledge of animals. Do not pass up the opportunity to work with her!

We are so grateful to have had the support of Virginia at Happily Furever After Rescue! She generously donated her time to offer virtual training sessions for our foster volunteers, and her kindness, knowledge, and professionalism truly stood out. What we appreciate most is Virginia’s commitment to using only positive reinforcement methods. Her approach is compassionate, effective, and easy to follow—helping our fosters better understand and support the dogs in their care. From building confidence to addressing common behavioral challenges, her guidance has made a lasting impact on our team and the pups we rescue. We can’t thank Virginia enough for her generosity and expertise, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful dog trainer!
