Dog Training Methodology

Equipment: 

  • Food Rewards
  • Flat Collars
  • Obstacle Courses

RockStar Dogs offers various training programs including Private Lessons, Hybrid Programs (Day Training and Board & Train), Memberships, and occasional Classes & Workshops. Private lessons are a core component of all programs, providing undivided attention to each dog and family to help them create new behaviors.

Hybrid programs, such as Day Training, offer the convenience of a board-and-train style experience while the dog remains at home. The trainer works with the dog weekly, followed by a lesson for the owner to practice. Board & Train programs provide an immersive training experience in a comfortable home environment, customized for all ages, sizes, and breeds, addressing everything from puppy training to foundational obedience and serious behavior issues.

Membership programs offer a flexible pay-as-you-go option, including access to online courses with videos and printable PDFs for self-practice. All programs include essential training equipment, members-only access to online resources and homework guides, live Q&A sessions and Zoom calls for support, and unlimited access to the trainer via email, text, and other communication apps.

Testimonials

“My dog would go CRAZY on walks when she saw another dog, even from a block away. I was so overwhelmed, and scared! I didn’t know what to do! Kat was kind and consistent with Patty, allowing her to gain confidence that she didn’t have with us. Kat also helped US work with her so we could learn to trust each other. Now Patty can walk past other dogs normally and we enjoy our walks together. Even if she does react a little, we don’t freak out and she calms down almost immediately. I highly recommend RockStar Dogs for both dogs and humans.”
– Ruth K.

“Gone is the frustration and sense of not being in charge. We now have a dog that listens to us and is a wonderful member of our family. The RockStar Dogs approach to training has been the perfect blend of intuition, fun and tough love. Kat helped ground my head-strong German Shepherd while maintaining her wonderful personality that we love so much. Kat explained our dog’s behaviors and motivations in a way that made sense and gave us what we needed to become better dog owners. Kat’s help in training our dog has been priceless!!”
– Lisa R.
