North Star Canines

Virginia is fantastic! We worked with Virginia for 4 sessions (plus a zoom intro), and she helped us and our dog out a lot. Our dog is reactive to people coming over to our house (thanks to a move and fewer visitors because of covid). She gave us the tools to improve our dog's behavior and she showed us how our dog can warm up to people given small doses, and lots of hot dog pieces. We are very happy we found her and should we need more dog training (or people training), we would definitely work with her again.

It is hard to express how fantastic Virginia is at what she does! My pup stayed with Virginia for a week, and I could not be more grateful for all of the amazing work Virginia accomplished with him. She specifically addressed the training issues I was concerned about, and I have seen such progress in all areas! I also felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her - you can feel the love for dogs radiating off of Virginia at all times! She was great about sending me regular updates and also providing helpful tips and guidance for continuing my pup's training moving forward. Virginia is also so patient about answering all questions! I already have another visit with Virginia booked for my pup - he definitely misses her!

We are so glad we found Virginia! We have two dogs (Harley and Hannah) that we needed help training, both behavioral and general training. We both knew we liked Virginia when we had our first zoom consult. We really loved that she came to our house for the lessons which made it very personable. Virginia made us feel right at ease on our first in person lesson. She worked with both dogs individually then gradually worked them together. After every lesson, she provided a very detailed follow up email, which we love (it's hanging on our fridge for reference!). We completed our first four lessons and we have some homework to do on our end with the training but hoping to keep in touch for future trainings down the road. We would recommend her to anyone!
