Dog Training Methodology
Canine Starr offers Private Dog Training, which is a one-on-one, tailored experience focusing on basic obedience, puppy training, behavior modification, and off-leash training.
Their Board and Train program involves the dog staying with them for daily, hands-on training in a real home environment. The 3-week program focuses on basics, structure, leash manners, crate training, and clear communication. The 5-week program takes training into the real world, adding distractions, duration, and reliability, best for dogs who know basics but struggle outside.
The 6-week program is for dogs with reactivity, anxiety, or pushy behavior, working on state of mind, impulse control, and building calmer, more confident habits, suitable for leash reactivity, barking, fear-based behaviors, or dogs needing stronger boundaries. The 8-week program is the most immersive option, where dogs learn to follow through with structure, build confidence, and generalize obedience across different settings, including off-leash preparation when appropriate. This is best for dogs with bigger behavior issues or owners wanting a full lifestyle change. Upon completion of the Board and Train program, owners are set up to continue the progress at home.
