We sent our Shiba Inu puppy to the 10 day sleep away camp. He came home a changed little man! Kristen and her team transformed our impulsive, stubborn little guy into a crate trained, sleep through the night, minimal barking, leash trained, joy to be around. He is more cuddly and affectionate and we are more deeply bonded. Thank you so much to Kristen and Stellar Canine Academy for helping our family!

We sent our Shiba Inu puppy to the 10 day sleep away camp. He came back a changed little man! Kristen and her team are fantastic. Our impulsive, stubborn little guy, transformed into a crate trained, sleep through the night, minimal barking, leash trained, joy to be around. He is even more cuddly and attentive. The whole experience created a stronger bond and brought peace to our home. Kristen created a happy family!

We have a yellow lab named Maui. He had very high energy, frequently counter surfed, and had a very bad biting problem. Our arms would be covered in bite marks and bruises. We felt bad about constantly leaving him in the crate but also couldn't afford to let him bite us. We found Stellar Canine Academy through a family friend and decided to send Maui there for the 3-week boarding and training. This was the best decision we made for ourselves and for Maui. He was well feed, got lots of love and training, and was taken care of very well. When we picked him up, he was a completely different dog. He was calm, obedient, and didn't bite. Two months later, Maui is still doing great and becoming better everyday. We are able to enjoy playing with Maui and are comfortable around him. He is an absolute angel now, thanks to Stellar Canine Academy! We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for help in training their dog. Thank you so much to Kristin and Quentin for doing such an amazing job in training Maui and for taking such good care of him.

Such a amazing experience with Stellar Canine Academy !!! Kristen and Quentin made such a good job with my baby Razzie🙌 she is now able to walk with me without leash, she always listens to me and stays on place at the evening when I’m watching my sports game. They also took time to give me advice about how I can keep her doing good with her training. I really appreciate their time and help, thank you again🙌

We very much regret having to write this review. We were so impressed with the young couple and had high expectations. However, it turned out to be a total waste of 10 days and $1600. When we got there, they spent 30-40 minutes showing us how WE can train her. Bella was three months old and we very specifically asked if that was too young and they assured us it was not too young. If they had said otherwise we would have postponed. Now we need to find another trainer to do what we hope would be done at Stellar

Stellar Canine Academy has been such a game changer for our 1 year old Leonberger puppy and for us as puppy parents. We’ve seen drastic improvements in our puppy’s manners and behaviours after the three week board and train. We also feel much more confident in continuing her training at home with the information and help provided. We highly recommend Stellar Canine Academy!

We highly recommend Stellar Canine Academy, with all of their training, expertise and services offered! We are ever so grateful to have found them to board our sweet cattle dog, 'Oli! We found our sweet pup injured while camping, and she can be highly reactive, protective and sensitive. We visited other places, which did not work out. Kristen knows and understands exactly what 'Oli requires to approach and be with her. It's quite impressive! She comes back relaxed, calm, happy, and with more skills! Her nails were also trimmed, wow! That's magic, if you know what I mean? We cannot thank you enough for everything you do for our 'Oli!

As a first-time dog owner, I struggled a lot with training my puppy, Maple, on my own in the beginning. Maple would get easily distracted and wanted to say hi to everyone she came across, which made everyday outings and bringing her to the office a challenge. I am so grateful I found Stellar Canine Academy’s boarding program. Kristen is an amazing trainer- she’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. During Maple’s time in boarding school, Kristen worked wonders, teaching her foundational skills and helping her learn to focus in distracting environments. Kristen not only transformed Maple’s behavior but also gave me the confidence to bring her into the office, knowing she’s well-trained and can stay calm even when she’s excited. The updates and tips Kristen provided throughout the program have helped me maintain Maple’s progress and build a stronger bond with her. I can’t recommend Stellar Canine Academy enough-Kristen and her team truly go above and beyond to help both dogs and their owners succeed. Thank you, Kristen, for giving Maple and me such a positive and life-changing experience! :)
