Program details
The All Star program is more comprehensive and your dog will learn several more behaviors. Your dog will be easy to control both inside and outside of your home. You also get the added bonus of email support for 4 months after we’ve finished the training sessions. This way you can feel free to contact me with any questions or issues that come up therefore ensuring the best possible outcome!
The Ultimate Foundation is, well, the ultimate! It is the most comprehensive program and the results are pretty amazing. It consists of a combination of day training sessions, where I work with your dog solo to get the training on board more quickly, plus private sessions where we work together so you know what your dog knows. Your dog will respond to cues, be a pleasure to walk, and shine as an important member of your family. You receive unlimited email and phone support for six months after we’ve finished the training sessions. That’s right, a trainer on hand to answer your questions and problem solve while your dog is perfecting its newly acquired behaviors!

Megan has a true gift with K9 friends! She makes dog training simple and fun at the same time! Every time Megan arrived at the door for a session, our dog Lacey went bananas with excitement eager to work with her. Megan has solutions and ideas for all challenges. She is very detail oriented, and extremely thorough!! So convenient and helpful for her to come to your own home so she can give specific ideas and suggestions to fit your space and day to day routines. Also so helpful that she sends a very detailed follow up report via email that summaries everything you went over with additional tips and resources as well. I highly recommend working with Megan if you feel like your dog(s) could use some behavior training!

Our pup has been in group classes almost since we got him, but we were having some issues we really wanted one-on-one help with. Within a few minutes of Megan's first visit with us, she noticed one thing I was doing and another thing my partner was doing that were contradicting the behaviors we were trying to reinforce. Each successive session gave us more tools and more confidence going forward. Our dog is far from perfect; we have a lot to work on. But now, I see a light at the end of the tunnel, whereas before I was pretty discouraged. Megan's super-calm but authoritative demeanor with our pet has become my #trainergoals.
Megan was a delight to work with. She was great with my dog and instilled valuable information and guidance while training my Shepard. 10 star!

Working with Megan (Stellar Dog) was a wonderful experience. I did the All Star Dog program for my small chiweenie mix - I was hoping to work on her listening skills and reactivity around larger dogs. Megan supported me and my dog in establishing and growing foundational skills for these areas. Thru practicing the behaviors she coached me on during our trainings, I have seen great results and feel I have a better understanding of my dog and how to communicate with her. Megan offers at-home trainings, which I highly recommend as it allows her to get a more detailed picture of the overall environment and interactions between you + your dog that may not be as apparent in an offsite training facility. I feel that the end results I have gotten thru working with Stellar Dog are invaluable. I would recommend her training services to anyone looking to work on specific skills with your dog or enhance your human-dog communication.
