Lucky Star Dog Training

I cannot recommend Jennifer and Aaron of Lucky Star Dog Training enough! I put my 6 month old dog into the Lucky Star Dog Training 3-week board and train program. I was a little nervous at first about the cost but WOW it was worth every penny to have a dog that is trained, confident and to have this from the start of her life is amazing. I still can't believe that I have a dog that can walk off-leash just as well as on-leash. My dog was nervous around other dogs but that quickly changed through the boarding program as well. At the end of the training/boarding period Jennifer took the time to thoroughly explain the training methods and made sure I understood everything. She also checked in with me after I took my dog (Bailey) home and made sure everything was going well.

It's hard to even articulate what a difference Jen and Aaron have made for our family!! We sought them out after recommendations from friends but I was having trouble stomaching and justifying the cost. After getting our nearly 7 month old labradoodle, Macy, back last week I am positive it was worth every penny. It is so much more relaxing and enjoyable to have a dog who you can truly communicate with and who has impulse control! Before training our kids wanted to walk her but couldn't because of the pulling and biting the leash. Now they can take her off leash and she's right there, listening/paying attention to them. We can have people over and they aren't attacked by her love and she's not a sock thief anymore! Jen did such a great job of really helping us see what Macy was capable of and explaining everything so we could take her home and continue to reinforce the training. She was great about asking what questions we had and answering anything that comes up. We've already got boarding scheduled for a few different times through the summer and know she's going to love it! I have no doubt we're going to reap the benefits of this training for years to come!

This review is long overdue — but I was reminded to write it after the most incredible walk with Rory. No leash. Heeled perfectly on my left the entire time. He stopped when I stopped, didn’t react to people walking by or dogs across the street, and even seemed to look both ways at the crosswalk. When we got to the gas station, I tied him up, gave him a "place" command, and he stayed in the exact same spot until I came back. Then we heeled all the way home together, calm and connected. Walks are actually enjoyable now. I can feel how excited he is, and when I finally "free" him near home, he takes off running and jumping like a total goofball — it’s hilarious. Jennifer is truly a miracle worker. Rory stayed with her for three weeks, and even though it was tough to be apart, I would do it all over again. This has completely transformed our relationship, and I’m so grateful.

Jen and her husband are amazing dog trainers. My puppy was extremely high maintenance and stubborn. After 3 weeks of board and train she became well behaved and manageable. I'll be sending all of my future dogs here for doggy boot camp.

Jen is an amazing trainer. She did an amazing job training our six months old rescue for 30 days. My dog was hyper and won’t listen to any commands that we trained. After Jen’s intensive training, he came home so much calmer and learnt multiple obedience commands, and these are advanced commands, which I was not expected. I am now able to walk my dog without having a war with him. He hangs out with us in the living room at his own place without bothering us. It is truly a life-changing investment. If you are like us working five days with not a lot of time to train your dog, Jen is the person to go to. She gives you ahead start of owning a dog and our commitment is to follow through what was taught after the training. She also gives you consistent updates on training progression and provide a post boarding training with us on how to carry on. I highly recommend Jen and will return for other services that she offers including boarding

Jen and Aaron are amazing!! We have a rescue mutt that we took to them at around 7 months for the 3 week board and train. She is very smart but was very reactive. She pulled like crazy on walks, jumped up on everyone, and barked incessantly at anyone walking by our front fence. Now she is super well behaved. She walks off leash and stays in a really good heal when asked, not being distracted by birds or other dogs. They do wonders with dogs but you also have to go home and continue the work and be comfortable using the e collar. She sends pictures and updates during training and checks on you regularly the first week after training. Even after that she has answered any questions we have. We would highly recommend Lucky Star!!

I was referred to Jen at Lucky Star Training and her services did not disappoint! She and Aaron are incredible! In three weeks they have transformed my Bernedoodle into such a good boy! He left the facility happy, calm, and well behaved…ready to live his best life! If you are thinking about training, this is the best investment! It’s really priceless!
