Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
BrightStar Canine specializes in personalized training solutions designed to fit a dog’s unique needs and lifestyle. They offer private lessons and immersive board-and-train programs.
Their most popular offering is the Off-Leash Training Bootcamp, a three-week board-and-train experience where the dog lives with a certified trainer. This program aims to provide a fully trained, obedient dog without requiring daily effort from the owner, leading to faster and more reliable results. It includes essential tools and free follow-up lessons to ensure a smooth transition home.
Private lessons are conducted in the client’s home or other challenging environments, customized to specific goals such as improving manners, addressing problem areas, or starting puppy obedience. These one-on-one sessions provide owners with the tools and confidence to effectively lead their dog in any situation.
Testimonials
“We adopted our sweet and sassy pitty, Sadie, from a Texas rescue, and adjusting to life with her and our two toddlers was challenging—especially with potty training. After interviewing multiple trainers, we chose Kimberly at BrightStar Canine, and it was the best decision. She took the time to answer all our questions and made us feel comfortable. Sadie spent three weeks training at Kimberly’s home, and when she returned, she was still the same lovable pup but with much better manners.My biggest tip: If you’re going to invest in training, be prepared to take ownership and accountability for your role in the outcome of your pups success. Kimberly does an incredible job laying the foundation, then it’s up to us as pet parents to be consistent with what’s been taught.Highly recommend BrightStar Canine!”

“We enrolled our German Shepard, Nia, in Kimberly’s 3 week boot camp. She was our first German Shephard, and like most, she was a hand full. She wasn’t a mean dog but reacted when approached by strangers. We wanted her to listen to us when given commands. First of all, we really appreciated the fact that Kimberly came to our house to pick her up. It would have been really hard for us to take her and leave her with someone we didn’t know. My husband and I were both received a very good first impression of Kimberly. Her initial handling of our dog inside our home was very good. That was really important as it made it easier to allow her to leave with her. It was easy to see that Kimberly knew what she was doing. Kimberly kept us updated over the 3 weeks with Nia’s progress. When Kimberly brought Nia home she had on a training collar. Kimberly spent time with us making sure we had a good understanding of how to use it. She then spent time going over voice commands and how to include them with the collar. The collar was a game changer. Kimberly came back to our house twice for follow up. She reviewed Nia’s (and our) progress. She ensured we were doing the right things.Today, Nia is a MUCH better dog. Her interaction with people is much better. If we are going to unfamiliar situation or with strangers, we do continue to use her training collar.We have since used Kimberly’s boarding services to board Nia when we had to travel for our daughters wedding. That went well. We highly recommend Kimberly and BrightStar!”
