After working with numerous trainers and getting turned away from another dog daycare (our reactive dog failed the evaluation), we ended up at Star Dog... and we are so glad we did! Andy & Jarrell have been so kind and have really helped us with BeeBee. We recommend the daycare - excellent facility & safe. The Boot Camp was amazing - they worked with BeeBee on drills all day and then trained us one-on-one! She is now calmer and so are we! The group classes are really fun too and serve a crucial role in solidifying and practising what we have learned. And the icing on the cake, the entire team helped Myrna give BeeBee her first grooming! Thank-you Andy, Jarrell & Lisa - you are very kind and excellent at what you do.

Prior to enrolling in Allegiant K9's 3-week board and train, our 9 month old GSD Obi was difficult…read moreto handle on-leash,100% unable to go off-leash, distracted by everything, and took a little too much enjoyment in chasing the cat at every opportunity. It's been two weeks since he graduated and we feel as if we were brought back a new dog (but who still had all the wonderful personality quirks that he did before leaving). I never thought I'd ever have a dog that I could let off-leash without worry of them running away... but now we do! I love that we can now confidently take him with us where ever we go, regardless of the social distractions, and know that he'll be a star pup. I also love that if we have issues in the future, AC and Dave are just a call or text away, whether we simply need advice or more intense instruction in a follow-up session. I cannot recommend Allegiant K9's 3-week board and train enough. It was worth every penny... and the cat agrees! :)

Dave has helped me with both of my golden retrievers - Brewster (age 9) and Dutch (age 2). Dave…read morefirst helped me when Brewster was 4 years old and pulled on the leash so much that I didn't want to take him hiking with me. Dave quickly had us enjoying our hikes on leash (we now go all the time) and started Brew on off leash training. Fast forward a few years and he helped again with Dutch. When we moved to a new home and Dutch started fence fighting with the neighbor's dogs, Dave came and helped my husband and me learn how to correct Dutch properly with an e-collar. It has been about a month and we have made huge progress - we are already enjoying our backyard more with Dutch who is now ignoring the neighbor's dogs even when they jump on the fence! I can't thank Dave enough - when he started working with me and Brewster I was a first-time dog owner and didn't know much - he never judged what I hadn't done with Brewster and just focused on solutions. He also always made sure I fully understood and was comfortable with the training techniques (altering if needed). I highly recommend him!

This last visit, through no fault of their own, my dig was injured (accidents happen everywhere!). Thehy were stellar. They contacted me immediately, arranged to have the dog treated at a local vet, took my dog there and stayed after hours making sure she woke up well after anesthesia. Then, they contacted me frquently, sending me updates and photos of my dog. They REALLY went the extra mile and I am extremely grateful and impressed. I always felt good leaving my dogs here, but I fell 100% secure they will always receive the best care.

Our puppy "Zeke" is a sweet dog who gets lots and lots of love. What we didn't know before we met…read moreRebecca with Love in the Lead, was that Zeke was suffering from a significant case of separation anxiety, and that we were feeding into the issue. We were referred to Rebecca from a friend and after speaking with her on the phone, we decided to spend the money, and do the 3 week board and train class for Zeke. This has been the absolute best decision we have ever made for Zeke. Prior to Zeke going to Love in the Lead, he would pace back and forth, would not go into his crate and be calm - (or sleep), he would whine and cry if "Dad" went somewhere - even if "Mom" was still with him (making it very difficult to do anything). After Zeke went through Love in the Lead's Board and train program, he has made huge improvements. He sleeps in his crate at night and actually loves it, he can be walked off leash, has a solid recall, and is just an all around more confident and obedient dog. Thank you so much Mrs. Rebecca!!
