Unmistaken Stars Farm Sanctuary and Dog Training

I can’t say enough great things about Andria. My dog Ellie is reactive to people and especially other dogs. Before we started training I started to lose hope that walks would ever feel easy. We’ve been doing private sessions with Andria, and Ellie has made so much progress. She can now walk past another dog with no reactivity, which is something I never thought we’d get to. Andria makes training fun and really feels like someone who genuinely cares about you and your dog. I’m so glad we found Unmistaken Stars and would recommend Andria to anyone who feels stuck or discouraged.

Andrea at Unmistaken Stars is an amazing trainer. I’m a dog handler, a volunteer for Missing Dogs Massachusetts & actively involved in dog rescue. I have a large dog network & Andrea came highly recommended not only by dog lovers but other trainers in the area. She is not only a trainer but a behaviorist as well. She was a little further away than I had anticipated driving but when I tell you, it was so worth it. She knows dogs & knows her stuff. I could sense it with the first 15 min of meeting her. My dog respected her energy which is confident yet so calm. My therapy dog is still young and has LOTS of energy but he really was able to “read the room” because of Andrea’s expertise. I’m so happy we chose Unmistaken Stars because they truly care! Not only about dogs however they are a farm sanctuary that saves neglected & abused farm animals. Andrea is an amazing human and we are so very lucky to have her and her knowledge of animals , right here within our community! Lastly I could not believe how affordable her classes are! She’s one of the best trainers in the area yet most cost effective! If you hire her, you will not be disappointed! We can’t wait for our next session! Thank you for all you do Andrea!!!🐾 Marley & Bandit

Andria is absolutely amazing! The progress my dog, Bowie, has made has been incredible. She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dog behavior. She not only works with the dogs but also teaches owners the skills and confidence they need to continue the training at home. Thanks to her guidance, Bowie has made tremendous strides, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Andria to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and talented dog behaviorist. She has truly made a difference for both Bowie and me!

When I found Andria, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly starting to lose hope. My golden retriever was struggling with biting, jumping, and lunging, and after working with several other trainers, I felt stuck in a constant uphill battle. Every day felt defeating, and the stress was beginning to affect my own wellbeing. I was desperate for someone who understood the full picture. From our very first session, Andria was exactly what we needed. She immediately recognized and validated my concerns, helped me understand my dog's behavior in a way no one else had, and gave me hope that things could improve. She was truly an answered prayer. What sets Andria apart is not only her knowledge and expertise but also her compassion. She saw and supported both of us. At no point did she make me feel judged or inadequate for struggling. We worked with Andria through both private lessons and group classes, and every session was engaging, fun, and thoughtfully structured. She has a unique ability to make training feel approachable and rewarding while still providing practical skills and things we could realistically apply at home. I cannot recommend Andria highly enough. If you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or convinced you've tried everything, know that there’s hope. Working with her was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I’m confident that anyone who trains with her would say the same. She has a remarkable gift not only for understanding dogs but for helping them thrive and allowing their unique personalities to shine. Thank you will never be enough!
