Testimonials
“Seven years ago this month, we found a wild dog on the beach in the Bahamas. We brought it home and asked Andria to train it as a service dog. To think the dog could be trained at all was a stretch. Andria and Unmistaken Stars did such a great job, that Kalik now goes back and forth in planes all the time. I am so proud when other dogs in the airport that claim to be trained act badly and Kalik walks right by with her head up as if to say…that’s right…Andria trained me!!”

“I first connected with Andria from Unmistaken Stars in 2011 on referral from my veterinarian.It was my first time with an energetic, Aussie puppy whom I wanted to start off right with!We were able to take AKC Star Puppy, Intermediate Puppy with Basic Agility and graduate over to Agility!To this day Dante is an amazing dog, thanks to the help of Andria!She has been imperative in teaching me how to connect with my dog through positive reinforcement and understanding his behaviors.I am always complimented on his ability to listen and mind his manners! At seven years old he still absolutely loves agility and working with his friends in the ring.Unmistaken Stars will always be my safe place for boarding, grooming and training!”

“We brought our rambunctious Maltese, Blizzy, to a commercial place for grooming. They kept her for hours and when we picked her up she was visibly upset, her nails weren’t clipped and she didn’t smell nice. They told us that she was not cooperative, and this was the beginning of our search for a good groomer. One place we tried actually told us to medicate her before bringing her to them!My daughter told us about Andria and said she had seen her with horses, and suggested we try “Unmistaken Stars”. We were nervous, as was Blizzy, but as soon as Andria held her she settled. When we arrived to pick up Blizzy (about 1 1/2 hours later) we couldn’t believe our eyes!!! Blizzy was calm, looked beautiful, her nails clipped and smelled great!!! We were in such shock that Andria was able to do all that she did AND she said Blizzy was good!!! She truly IS the animal whisperer!!!!”
