We have taken two classes (so far) with Unmistaken Stars Farm and also a private training to help set our dog up for success. Andrea takes the time to explain your actions and what the dog sees, so you can build a better relationship with your dog. We have also seen other dogs improve greatly between our classes. Five stars all the way!

Andria is incredible. She is a positive trainer not only for the animals, but the people as well. I feel encouraged and confident in her presence and with her guidance. One of our pups attends basic obedience and she has helped us work through some reactivity-this ensures she can feel confident while learning new skills in a different setting. We also do doggy agility with our other pup (FUN.) Our dogs leave tired from the physical, mental and intellectual challenges, work and engagement opportunities offered by Andria and her classes. "School," is a favorite word in this household!
My experience with Andria has been above and beyond excellent! She was so amazing to accept my request for her to become my mentor through my dog training school. She gave me great feedback and I learned a lot while shadowing one of her group classes. I have also taken Intro to Agility and CGC Prep classes with my puppy, Raspberry, and she is always so calm,supportive and knowledgeable.

It's a very special person who not only understands dogs so thoroughly, but can also understand people and train them both to be their best. I know that sounds a bit strange but I have learn from Andria how my behavior and Zoey's behavior mixes and how to bring the best out in Zoey. In a short time, her technique of positive reinforcement has done wonders for Zoey. I am able to read Zoey's signs of distress and know what to do. I enjoy our classes so much because they are fun and interesting. My only regret is I'm unable to give her more stars. Andria is truly a dog whisperer.
