Dog Stars Exist.

Helping dogs and their humans reach greatness together.

Great relationships with dogs start
with patience, support and
reward-based training.
Never force or intimidation.

Our Services

  • Pre-school for puppies! These classes provide your 8- to 14-week-old puppy enrichment and socialization with other puppies.

  • Well-mannered dogs are bright stars in our constellation! We have four levels of manners classes that help dogs learn and refine their skills.

  • This workshop is an opportunity for our Manners students to learn new tricks and have more fun with their humans.

  • As a pup works through class levels, they will periodically have the opportunity to test for various AKC certifications along the way. It’s always optional, but a cool way to mark star progress over time.

  • Meet with an instructor to introduce your dog and discuss pup-human goals to formulate a training plan.

  • Periodically we’ll offer specialty workshops to help our dog stars focus on specific skills. Keep an eye out for workshops like: Leash-pullers, Big-barkers, and Bouncy-greeters.

Star Stories

  • “Christina has a background in education, so was particularly easy to understand and communicate with. We’re now a Certified Therapy Dog team… It’s all thanks to Christina!”

    Toula, Tom & Dianna Gehringer

  • GREATER DOG: Young woman holding a small dog outdoors in a park with trees and grass, smiling at the camera.

    “Ozzy immediately gravitated towards Christina and loved her the second she walked through our door. She taught us proper and effective ways to get our puppy’s attention and how to execute it correctly. She was patient with us as owners as well as with our puppy.”

    Ozzy & Chante Howard

  • GREATER DOG: A woman kneeling next to a dog with a graduation certificate in a room with a red wall.

    “Christina has been great to work with. She watched how we did things in our home and told us how to fix certain things. Navy is 15 weeks now and is thriving with her new skills—from doorway manners to leash walking and ‘place’.”

    Navy Bean & Kimberly Turgan

  • GREATER DOG: A brown, fluffy dog sitting on a gray floor with a pink leash and a colorful bandana around its neck.

    “Our dog learned all the basics in no time with [Christina's] training. She has brought us to the next phase for our puppy, which is service dog training.”

    Callie & Alexandra Harrington

  • GREATER DOG: A woman holding a certificate of completion for dog training, sitting next to a happy, fluffy white dog in a room with gray walls and a black chair.

    “Christina was such an amazing puppy trainer and knew just how to get the dog to do what she wanted and to learn. Maisey always looked forward to her lessons and her treats.”

    Maisey & Bridget Hanning

  • GREATER DOG: A fluffy puppy with gray, tan, and white fur being held by a person. The puppy has dark eyes, a black nose, and floppy ears, and is wearing a green harness.

    “Incredible dog trainer who made a significant difference in our dog’s behavior. Expertise, patience, and personalized approach were truly impressive. Helped guide us through the puppy phase.”

    Ivy & Megan Wilkinson

  • GREATER DOG: A happy black and white Labradoodle puppy sitting on a warehouse floor.
