Lucky Star Dog Training

Jen was an absolute pleasure to work with, same with her teammate Aaron. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of dog training, communication with dogs, traits in dogs / owners / outside distractions and what it takes to really nail down the important pieces of bringing home and continuing to foster the improvement of an extremely well-behaved dog.

Jen’s 3 week training program was perfect for my 6month old golden retriever and she ensured I was fully equipped with all of the knowledge I needed to continue his training in our 2hr go-home session… Was given updates throughout the session including great pics of my pup having a BLAST with the other dogs in training. Incredible fenced in backyard with ample playing space! I cannot recommend Lucky Star Dog Training enough!!!!!

We needed help with getting our 1 1/2 yr old Goldendoodle, Luna, to stop jumping and basically listen. We opted for the 3-week board & train. It was the BEST decision. Luna is so much better at not jumping. She heels. She sits and stays sitting when I leave the room. She does the commands! If you need help with your dog, I highly recommend Lucky Star Dog Training.

Lucky Star truly is incredible! Jen and Aaron are such wonderful people and trainers. I had high hopes sending my dog Birdie to them and they beyond exceeded them. I have full trust in their methods and results. Truly has changed mine and Birdies relationship and her happiness and life as a dog! So thankful!!

Jen did an incredible job with my one year old puppy, Sage. Sage was a very rambunctious dog that had any sort of discipline on her mind. After three weeks with Jen, she took my sweet and smart but very much in need of training dog and turned her into a extremely disciplined best friend. She is still her same rambunctious and energetic self, but with a focus on me as an owner and on her training that I wasn’t sure was possible. We can now effectively walk anywhere off leash, she commands effectively and is looking to please me and our relationship has grown because of what Jen has done for Sage.

I couldn’t more highly recommend her and her services for anyone that is in need of training. I travel for work often, and the discipline that Jen instilled in Sage has done wonders for both of us.

Jen is an amazing trainer! Can’t say enough positive things about Lucky Star - highly recommend. Enrolled my German shepherd to her three week board and train (as he was very reactive, and got distracted easily in public). After her training, he is a completely different dog! Extremely well behaved in all situations and listens extremely well. Super excited as now I have the confidence to take him anywhere knowing he will very well behaved. Have already had numerous people come up to asking how I got him trained so well.

Also highly recommend their daycare program. A great way to socialize your dog in a controlled environment!

If you’re on the fence about this board and train program, consider this your sign to do it!!! We picked up our 8 month old corgi Napoleon last week and couldn’t be happier with our little man’s new skills! Like most puppies, Napoleon had a few naughty habits. Our biggest concern was his lack of recall- if we didn’t have treats, there was no chance he’d listen. We wanted to feel comfortable taking him to all the new places to explore, and wanted him to be an off leash dog wherever he could be. After training with Jen, Napoleon is well on his way! His daily walks went from being a huge headache with constant pulling, eating everything he shouldn’t be, and car reactivity. Now, he is an absolute pleasure to walk and remains in a heel when we tell him to be (yes, even off leash!) He now has zero car reactivity and no more trash eating now that he understands the command “leave it.” Cooking and eating dinner was another area where Napoleon struggled- he wasn’t happy if he wasn’t in on the action. Now, he happily remains on “place” when instructed to and is very content to watch from afar.

Overall, I can’t recommend Jen enough. Having a well trained dog absolutely changes your life for the better. Reinforcing the behavior at home that was learned in training is a major part of this, but if you’re willing to do that, you and your dog will be much happier for it!

Another thing to mention is Jen’s communication is top notch. Jen scheduled a phone call with us to go over her entire process and answer any questions we had after we first reached out to her. She really took the time up front to understand what was going on and what we were looking to achieve. This made us really comfortable with her and her skills from the very beginning and made the process of leaving him for the first time so much more comfortable for us as his owners- we truly new he was in great hands with Jen and Aaron! While your dog is in training, Jen sends regular updates and pictures and is extremely thorough in her take home lesson when you go to pick up your pup. She checked in daily his first week home and was always willing to answer or explain anything that came up. This made his transition back home very smooth!

We love that Napoleon still has his spunky and social personality, but the difference is, he now knows there are boundaries and we mean what we say. We feel like this will continue to build trust between us for his whole life. We’re so grateful for Jen’s hard work and help! Napoleon will continue with Lucky Star for weekly daycare and occasional boarding so he can see his besties Jen and Aaron and all his pup buddies there!

Prior to discovering Jen’s business, my boyfriend and I were struggling with our 8 month old Aussiedoodle named Sugar. Some of her bad habits included counter surfing, jumping (or side tackling at times), barking incessantly, bullying her older siblings, pulling while walking, tearing up trash, etc. She was and still is extremely energetic but she is also extremely intelligent. All we can say is thank goodness for Jen!!
Jen is truly a pro not only when it comes to dog training but she is also fantastic at training us owners as well! Jen took our Sugar bear for a 3 week board and train and completely turned Sugar around. She taught her so much in such a short period of time, and now Sugar is thriving at home. She is 100% off leash, we have a much better relationship with her, and because of Jen we also know how to care for Sugars needs much better than before.
Jen takes the time to get to know your dog and she knows how to communicate with them in a way they will understand. Not only did Jen put in the time with our Sugar but also with us fur-parents as well. She spent hours training us after we picked Sugar up so that we were well equipped to continue our training at home. She answered each and every question we could possibly think of. She even continued to communicate and check in with us for over a week after training was over!!
If you are considering Lucky Star Dog Training our recommendation is to GO FOR IT. You will not regret it!
