FirstBarkSamantha at Stellar Canine did an exceptional job working with our 4 month old puppy for board and train. He came home with improved crating skills, understanding of leash walking, place cot skills. She communicated with updates and videos to help with continued integration of skills at home. Steve Harrington aka "Stevie" loved his time there!

“Absolutely incredible dog trainer! Within just a few sessions, my dog became more confident, obedient, and calm. The trainer was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about helping both dogs and owners succeed. Highly recommend!”

Highly recommend Stellar Canine’s training services! We sent our staffy for the 2-week board and train. Sam is amazing and provided a great foundation of training to address our boy’s anxiety and leash reactivity. She was great with regularly communicating how training was going and clearly takes great care of the dogs—when we went to pick ours up it was clear he loved and trusted her! When we went to pick him up she also took the time to walk us through actions we should take at home to keep building on his progress which was really helpful. Definitely plan on using Stellar Canine again to brush up on training and keep our dog’s progress going. Thank you Sam!

We sent our 2 yr old labradoodle (Max) to a two week board and train with Samantha and we are so impressed with the outcome. Our walks are so enjoyable now and his confidence is so much better. We are boaters and we’re struggling with Max getting Max on/off the boat and she went out of her way to bring him to her parents to work with him on their boat!! So awesome!! Sam with communicative every other day sending us pictures/videos and update reports. We plan on boarding Max with Sam when we are away and making an often day trips to keep his training top notch!!! I highly recommend Samantha at Stellar Canine and I’m so thankful we found her!

We were so happy with the training we received at Stellar Canine. We had Gracie and Maggie board and train for 9 days while we were on vacation. I felt so comfortable after the first time we met to leave my dogs with her. The results have been amazing. Gracie has learned to control herself and stay in place during situations she would normally react to like the vacuum cleaner and the blow dryer. Our walks are less stressful without the leash pulling for both of them. Samantha gave us the foundation to build on and would not hesitate to leave our dogs with her again. Thank you, Denise
