The reviews were spot on… we got OUR dog back and better than ever! And I mean our same spunky, silly girl but with a little less sass and a lot more love. Thank you Aaron and Jen!
Haha! Sass is 💯 true!!! We loved working with you guys and are so happy you liked our training! Have fun, this is just the beginning!
Our dog came back from Board and Train so well behaved. Aaron and Jennifer are incredible! Felt much better and more personal than a company with a big sterile kennel/facility. Would highly recommend.
Hi Matt!! Thank you so much for the review! We can’t wait to see you guys again!
Erin & Jennifer did an outstanding job in training our girl “Doris” for 3 weeks at their home. We dropped off a 14 month old Australian Labradoodle that had no training at all and was continuously jumping on people wanting to play. After only 3 weeks of their training, we received back a totally different bog!. She was well behaved, followed commands and better yet, she didn’t jump anymore. It’s only been 1 week since we picked her up and we are already able to walk her down the street without a leash. I would totally recommend them with 5 stars. Great Job you guys!!!!! Brian & Amy Chinnock
Jennifer and Aaron are amazing. They worked with me and my golden retriever, Mavis, on a three week board and train. Prior to training Mavis was your typical over excitable golden. She loved everyone and everything too much, if you know what I mean. Now I have a dog who can be with the family full time instead of in a crate. A pet I can walk without a leash and recall is incredible. Thanks Aaron and Jen for transforming my girl. She’s a happier dog because of the training
Words cannot express how thankful I am to Aaron and Jen - they are miracle workers!! They have made a night and day difference with my pup. She now listens on command and I genuinely can't get enough of taking her out, which is a huge change from before (non-stop barking and pulling). She is the most well behaved, eager to please dog I could hope for. She is still her fun, spirited self and loves to run/pounce/chase squirrels but now she knows there is a time and a place for that with the "FREE" command. Having her calm by my side on walks in a true heel is incredible, and being able to head to a park and let her off leash confidently to play and explore has opened up our world. I am beyond excited for this next chapter with my dog. Aaron and Jen are phenomenal at what they do and their passion shines through in everything. I loved getting updates during the 3week board and train, and they were always kind and quick to answer every question. I only wish I'd found them sooner so I could've given my previous dogs this same experience. Thank you Jen and Aaron!
Thank you for your kind words!!! We loved working with you guys and are so excited to see how she progresses!!!
We cannot recommend Lucky Star Dog Training & Boarding enough! Our one-year-old Boston Terrier, Darla, is the sweetest girl, but before training, she struggled with distractibility, impulsivity, and excitement. She could also be quite demanding, which made everyday life a bit more challenging. Walks were a chore in her first year. She would constantly lay flat, get distracted, or lose focus. She frequently jumped on people to greet them, which became a concern when we had small toddlers around. At home, she would incessantly use her paws to demand pets and would often steal belongings and run off with them. Since completing her training, our days at home have been filled with so much more peace! Darla relaxes beautifully in her “place” near us, and she is an absolute ROCK STAR on walks. She hasn’t used her paws to claw at us for attention even once since coming home, and her jumping and stealing-and-running habits have completely stopped. We will say that we have been consistent about continuing her training at home, but the foundation Lucky Star built with her has made continuing her training a breeze. We’ve actually thoroughly enjoyed the process and spending intentional time with her since she’s been home. We are so grateful for the transformation in Darla and for the skills we’ve learned along the way. I would recommend Lucky Star again and again. We will absolutely be using them for boarding in the future, and if we ever need training services again, they will be the first people we call.
Yay!! Go Darla!!! We are grateful that you trusted us to do the board and train and are so happy that she is doing so well! See you soon!
Our puppy is now a perfectly well behaved, playful little angel! We sent our mini golden doodle to Jen and Aaron around 6 months. It was life changing! For us and for our pup. Jen and Aaron are extremely knowledgeable, have great communication, and truly care for your dog. I could recommend them more!
We truly cannot recommend Lucky Star Dog Training enough. Sending Blue for board and train was hands down the best investment we could have made for him. The transformation has been incredible. Blue is still the same sweet, playful, cuddly puppy we fell in love with, but now he is also confident, responsive, and such a joy to take anywhere. One of the biggest changes we noticed is that he is no longer attached only to me. He has built such a wonderful bond with my husband, and it has been amazing to watch. It has made life so much easier and more enjoyable for all of us. Since completing training, we have traveled with Blue, and he has been incredible every step of the way. He behaved beautifully at the airport, on the plane, at the beach, and throughout our entire trip. Being able to confidently take him anywhere has completely changed our lives. He listens so well while still being the same happy, playful, affectionate dog we have always known. I also want to mention something that I was honestly very nervous about before training, the e-collar. I had a lot of concerns and was worried about using one. Jen and Aaron took the time to explain everything, introduce it the right way, and teach us how to use it fairly and consistently. Now I completely understand that it is not about the collar itself. It is about the communication and the foundation behind it. Blue is not afraid of it at all. He still gets excited for walks, loves training, and is just as cuddly, goofy, and full of personality as ever. It has simply given us a way to communicate with him clearly while giving him so much more freedom. We are so grateful to Jen and Aaron. Thank you for caring so much about your dogs and for setting both the dogs and their owners up for long term success. We could not be happier with the experience, and we recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to give their dog the best possible start.
Wow, I would give 10 stars if I could! Our lab puppy was trained by Aaron and Jen and it totally changed our lives. She has always been the sweetest dog but needed boundaries and to learn how to live in our house with lots of commotion. We have been blown away by how she is thriving at home with the skills she’s learned and how much more fun it is to have her with us when we’re out and about. This training was worth every penny and we will continue to do refreshers and boarding. Highly recommend Lucky Star!
Thank you so much Montana! We are so happy that you are happy with Pearl’s training and can’t wait to have her stay with us again!
Before attending the 3 week board and train Rex was a happy goofy off the wall puppy. He didn’t understand that not everything was a threat that needed a good barking at. On walks he would bark at people, chase after anything that moved and frequently not listen to me when I would say no. I arrived for pickup and Aaron showed me what he had learned, he not only listened he was eager to follow the instructions!! I was shocked to say the least. He not only listens to commands but he’s even happier and goofier than before, I now have the confidence to take him anywhere, the training is a game changer and the e collar isn’t an enemy it’s a way to communicate! If anyone is on the fence about doing the b&t pull the trigger!! You and your pup will be much happier!!
