FirstBarkSamantha is amazing with my blue Heeler! She has extensive experience with herding and working dogs, so she took on the task of my high energy 2-year old like a pro! He goes to daycare 2x/week and he comes back fulfilled and exhausted from training, exercise, and play! Samantha is flexible if schedule changes arise and is so communicative - I highly highly recommend!

Sam is amazing. My Zoey was scared her first visit but Sam made her and me feel comfortable by treating Zoey like one of her own. It’s amazing how much Zoey has learned in a short period of time and continue to learn more every day at Stellar Canine. At the end of each day, Zoey is exhausted from learning and playing with her new fur friends and is ready for a nap…which makes my life much easier! Thank you, Stellar Canine for caring for Zoey and making my life much easier!
Thank you Stellar Canine for helping train and boarding our big baby. Walks have become easier, loved watching him play well with other dogs, and we are still continuing working on staying in "place". Samantha worked wonders with our puppy. As much as we didn't like leaving our dog behind, it was very reassuring Saban had a great place to call home for a few days.
Sam is great. I always know Casanova will be well cared for when he stays. I always add training to any board so he can get some extra work on manners and he always comes back better than when I left him. I can tell Sam what problem areas I really want to focus on and she takes it from there.

I sent my 7 month old Golden Retriever for a 2 week board and train to learn some better manners and greeting skills! Sam truly treated her like her own for the two weeks and made sure she got plenty of enrichment along with training! Jersey came back home walking better on a leash, not jumping on people, learned to control her excitement when meeting new friends, and other skills! Sam sent updates, made sure I was comfortable before the board and train with a phone call and aligned my wishes to her training style. My family came to visit a week after and told me they were shocked at how well behaved and calm Jersey really was! I would recommend Sam and will be taking Jersey back when the time comes!!
