I can’t say enough good things about Lara and Star Power Dog Training. Vinny has come such a long way, and it’s truly because of Lara’s guidance, knowledge, and incredible ability to understand dogs. She doesn’t just teach commands—she teaches you how to communicate with your dog in a way that actually makes sense. Every question I’ve had, she’s answered with patience and confidence, and her advice has made such a difference in Vinny’s behavior and our relationship. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and somehow always knows exactly what’s going on. Honestly, she’s a bit of a dog-training wizard. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog’s success and gives you the tools to help them thrive, Lara is the person to call. I couldn’t recommend Star Power Dog Training more highly. Thank you, Lara, for everything you’ve done for Vinny!

I have trained with Lara for 3 years now. She has taught me how to train each obedience exercise by looking at it from a dog's perspective, breaking it down into simple and clear steps, and by using positive shaping methods. I find both myself and my dog upbeat and excited for each practice session. Lara's approach has not only helped my dogs in their training journey, but also helped me in my own lifelong learning journey.
