We decided to enroll our 2-year-old pup in All-Star’s 15-day board and train program after she developed severe separation anxiety and began escaping both her crate and our home. The team at All-Star did an excellent job working with her and giving us the tools and guidance to set her up for success once she returned home. One thing I really appreciate is that they don't treat board and train as a magic fix. It takes continued work, consistency and patience at home, but the All-Star team makes sure you're supported throughout the process. We especially benefited from the two in-office training sessions and the in-home session after she completed the program. Those sessions helped us better understand how to reinforce what she learned and build on her progress. She's still learning and so are we, but we've been really happy with the experience. She absolutely loves the team at All-Star and they've been incredibly supportive, patient and responsive whenever we've had questions. It's clear they genuinely care about the dogs they work with and their success long after the training program ends. We're so grateful for their help!

Thank you so much Shanna - We absolutely loved having Chai with us for the 15 Day Board and Train! She made so much progress during her stay, we were so proud of her and even more proud of the consistency you all are putting in at home. Keep up the great work - We hope to see you back for Group Class soon!

We had an incredible experience with the Day Training program at All-Star Dog Training! We brought our dog (“Alli”gator) in to help improve her confidence and build more trust with us. She was incredibly timid and shy when we started, but the transformation has been amazing. She now follows us around with so much more trust and confidence, and her leash skills have improved significantly. We absolutely loved all the trainers—everyone on the team was so open, kind, and supportive throughout the process. Highly recommend them for anyone with a shy or nervous pup!

We are very pleased with our experience with All-Star. We enrolled our 8-month-old Portuguese water dog, Rio, in the 21-day Board and Train program and it has made a tremendous difference in our relationship with him. The trainers are all professional, knowledgeable, and patient - Rio is still happy whenever he meets them! As disclaimer: the training is not a magic bullet. We appreciate that we as owners are being trained just as much as Rio, so we're looking forward to our ongoing relationship with All-Star!

I have a puppy that pulled on the leash every time I walked her. After working with Rebekah, Piper is walking by my side calmly.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at All Star Dog Training! My 5 year old pitty mix Nola, just completed her training, and I am so proud of how far she has come🐾 A huge thank you to Nicole and Taylor for all of their patience, guidance, and care throughout the entire process. They were absolutely amazing with Nola and always took the time to guide my husband and me as well. I’ve learned so much and feel much more confident continuing everything we learned at home. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl and helping her become the best version of herself!

We loved our experience with All Star Training from start to finish. Our puppy made amazing strides in several different areas. The trainers went above and beyond to focus on leash training/walking manners, separation anxiety, and impulse control! We’ve seen such a huge difference since he completed his 10 day program. We would recommend to anyone!!

Phenomenal experience with the team training Duff. All of the trainers are super professional, and listen to my goals for training and structured each lesson to help us achieve those quickly. We’ll definitely follow up with additional training. My stubborn pup was super Responsive !

My year and a half old Lizzie is a shelter dog rescue, who was bottle fed, and not raised by her mother,13 mixed breed bundle of joy before All-Star. I thought I was going to have to live a life of chewed shoes, chewed glasses “come” meant Something else in her language than mine HOWEVER!! ….after two weeks training and boarding with All-Star, I now have the most adorable, responsive, precious puppy. My girlfriend from Austin Texas followed all of my daily or weekly reports and videos. She is now considering bringing her two huskies from Austin to All-Star for training. I am retired now and very careful with my Budget, but this is something I would do over again! We even went on a shopping trip to Lowes. Lizzie wouldn’t let me buy anything but she was great Company. Thank you, All-Star!!

We did the 4-day, day train with our 5 month old golden retriever. He clearly loved the staff, and we could tell at each human training session (1h of practice at the end of each day), that he had learned a lot. We were pleased with how the e-collar was introduced, and the way we were taught to use it as a positive check in, rather than the stereotypical punitive measure, which wasn’t something we would have wanted to do. We are still practicing his manners consistently, and are grateful for the foundation from the all-star team.
