When we got our dog Briggs at nine months old, we were assured that he could walk on a leash, sit, stay, and would come back when commanded. But the reality was completely different. Gone was my dream of a dog who I could take to the beach and safely let off a leash because he had no training. He was timid with other dogs, was a counter cruiser, struggled on a leash, and could not be trusted off a leash. With the help of Val, and her wonderful training, we now have a confident dog that walks well on a leash; including my 73-year-old mom being able to safely walk him and he has amazing recall. We get compliments daily on what a polite and well-trained dog he is. And that is all due to Val’s dog training. Also, he adores Val!

Little Mishka is my third corgi puppy that I've had the pleasure of raising. Corgis truly possess distinct personalities – sometimes, it feels like a bit too much! I've encountered challenges with my adult corgis and sought help from numerous trainers, but none were able to assist effectively. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Val and her training program, which has proven to be both straightforward and impactful. Val imparts insights that I hadn't come across with previous trainers, presenting information in an easily understandable manner. I highly recommend this course! Thanks to it, my puppy is developing into an exceptional dog, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the process.

As a new dog owner the Stellar Companion Puppy Training Course was invaluable in raising my Shepherd- Akita mix Frankie. I didn’t think I needed training at first but the course taught me so much! It showed me how important it is to implement structure and boundaries in the first months of having a puppy. I especially liked the Leash Manners section and was so impressed how Frankie actually wanted to learn the techniques. It was a great bonding tool and I truly have a stellar companion now thanks to this course. I recommend it highly!
