“I cannot recommend Starr Dog Behavior enough! Joseph gave me excellent training tips for potty training my French Bulldog, and the results were nothing short of a miracle. Within just three days of following his advice, my pup was fully housebroken.”

“We have burned absurd amounts of $$$$ on other board & trains… nothing compares to the training and support we’ve received from Joseph @ SDB. Our dog is now calm, happy, and well-behaved.”

“Joseph has a dog-whisperer level of command with Jaxon, but he is also very kind and loving with him. His advice has produced visible results at each meeting.”
