I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough! She worked wonders with my 5-month-old Dogo Argentino puppy, Pure King Shadow. The progress Shadow has made in socialization and obedience under her guidance is incredible. Before training, I was unsure how he’d behave in busy environments, but now I can confidently take him anywhere—even to a bustling Starbucks on a Saturday with strollers, babies, and crowds—and he remains calm and well-behaved. Kristen’s expertise, patience, and structured approach to training have transformed Shadow into a well-mannered puppy. If you’re looking for a dedicated, skilled dog trainer who will work closely with you to achieve great results, Kristen is the one! Less

Our pup learned so much! 3 weeks away at SCA camp and this pup is walking on and off leash like a superstar. No more pulling 👏 She is now greeting on all fours 🐾🐾 and staying in Place when asked until released. Plus, you should see the adoring look she gives Kristen. I feel so confident that my pup had a great time and was very well taken care of the whole time. ‘Cept she ate her macaroni necklace, but oh well 😉 Less

Kristen is an excellent and wonderful trainer with a depth of knowledge. I’m so impressed with the results of her training, I cannot thank you enough. I would highly recommend. Less

An amazing and transformative experience for both us and our pup! With love, dedication, and consistency Corinne helped our boy learn to be the best behaved and happiest dog we know. Perfect recall, bad habits forgotten, impeccable behavior with visitors, and as playful and happy as ever. Best money we ever spent! Less

Exceptional results! Mojo came to us as a 2-month old Beagle puppy in need of a home. He also came with all of the things that are typical of a Beagle puppy -- smart, stubborn, high-energy, full of mischief, and much in need of training. After ten days of puppy camp with Corrine he was a different puppy, still full of energy but able to listen, and to respond to basic commands of sit, down, and place. After 3 weeks of adult training, and now at 7 months old, he is a joy to have as part of the pack (along with 3 older dogs). So many things that he learned, but the most important are that he comes when called and I trust him to be off leash at the dog parks. The thing that I really appreciate about Corrine's training style is that she got him to this point without changing the spirit of this little dog. He is still a happy, active, and high-energy puppy but now a well-behaved puppy too. In the coming years he is going to be a wonderful companion. Thanks, Corrine!

I will forever be grateful for Stellar Canine! Our 9 month old cockapoo was a little too rambunctious for her own good! She did not have an off switch. Anytime she greeted people, whether at our home or on a walk, she would jump on them and just go crazy! Nothing we tried worked. I took her to obedience classes, but none of the tools we learned seemed to work for her. I googled obedience training, and found stellar Canine. After looking at all of their reviews and talking to them, I realized it was worth a try. I was worried she would forget me or act like a different dog in three weeks but she came home the same happy goofy pup, except she is so much smarter! We now have all kinds of tools to use for many situations. From sit, place and heel, I no longer have to be afraid to have people come to the house. Now when we go on walks, we can stop and visit with people and I just tell her to sit and she sits and waits like a very good girl. We have a lot of deer at our home and at a piece of vacation property and I no longer have to worry about her chasing them, it’s absolutely amazing! I looked at it as an investment in our future together and it ensures that we can share so many more enjoyable things together. The results were absolutely amazing. Less

If there were 10 stars for ratings, we would give Stellar Canine Academy a "15"! We had our 10-month boxer girl at their 3-month training camp - and it was the greatest experience! Kristen was very considerate, informative, attentive to us and our dog. The training results are stunning - our Lulu learned a much better behavior and obeys our commands pretty well. When Kristen brought Lulu back home from the camp, we could see that our dog was in careful and loving hands, was treated and trained well. We definitely are customers of Stellar Canine Academy for life - and highly recommend them! Less

This was by far the best decision we could have made for our boy Scout! It was worth every penny to have him come back calm, obedient and able to run n play nicely with everyone and recall. The time and dedication Corrine put into our boy, we will forever be grateful for! 💙🐾 Less
