All Star Canines is a dog training business based in San Jose, offering personalized training services to help dog owners build strong, confident relationships with their pets. They provide in-home one-on-one sessions, group classes, and board-and-train programs tailored to dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Their services include basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification, off-leash e-collar training, and protection training. They specialize in helping Spanish-speaking clients by offering bilingual support to remove language barriers. Their head trainer, Ralph Frescas Jr., brings over two decades of hands-on experience rooted in personal life experiences with dogs, including rehabilitating trauma-affected dogs and surviving cancer with the support of his own dog, Chula.

The team uses balanced, evidence-based methods combining positive reinforcement and operant conditioning, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches.

Their training philosophy centers on the belief that dogs are healers and companions, and that owners often need guidance as much as their dogs do. They emphasize trust, communication, and real-world results, helping families create lasting bonds with their pets.
