About Star Dog Training

At Star Dog Training, I focus on the foundation of building a strong relationship and bond through the training process; it isn’t just about forcing your dog to be obedient or controlled. Focusing on what makes your dog look forward to your interactions and building value as its handler, will get you to the end goal more smoothly while allowing you to work through the bumps more quickly. Creating an obedient, happy, healthy canine companion is key. At Star Dog Training, I teach about Strengthening Trust to Achieve Results.

Services

At Star Dog Training, I provide an array of services tailored to meet your needs for your dog. I offer Private Training sessions for new and existing clients. All new clients will begin with a two hour session where I get a good understanding of, not only the relationship between your and your dog(s), but also your needs and goals for your dog(s). I am certified to help you earn your AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and CGC certifications as well.

Once you are a committed client, I offer multiple ways for you to continue to cultivate your training journey with your dog by offering come-when-you-can Saturday morning classes, private sessions, intermediate and advanced classes, and board and train options.

Success Stories

"When I brought our new puppy home I had a few concerns and contacted Debbie to start training. My husband and I enjoy camping, hiking, kayaking and other adventures and want to include Brookie. So we have been consistently working with Debbie to train Brookie in many areas since she was a young puppy. We recently went on a 16 day camping adventure and Brookie (at 17 months) was amazing. She took long hikes in the wilderness, rode on crowded ferries and busses, ate at dog friendly restaurants, charmed the workers in retail stores, and camped in many different campgrounds. It will be fun to bring her along on all of our adventures whether it is in crowded touristy areas or deep into the wilderness!
