Rising Starr K9 Dog Training

Thank you, Kacia! Uecker was a pleasure to work with, and we’re proud of how far he came during his Board & Train. From polishing obedience to building calm confidence out in public, he put in the work and it shows. We’re excited to keep that momentum going with your family in classes and pack walks. And please thank your husband for his service—it means a lot to us as a veteran-owned business. 🐾

Thanks, Alicia—I appreciate the kind words and your trust in allowing me to work with Irving. He’s come a long way, and your consistency and commitment to the training process were a big part of that success. That kind of teamwork between dog, owner, and trainer is what makes real transformation possible. I’m always grateful for feedback, and if there’s ever more you'd like to share about what we achieved or what stood out to you, I welcome it. Stories like Irving’s help other families understand what’s possible when structure and communication come together. Thanks again for letting me be part of the journey. —Rick

Ben, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience—and I’m proud of the work you and Laker put in. He’s a great dog with a big heart, and it was rewarding to help bring out his potential. The progress you’ve made with him at home and around kids is exactly what structured training is meant to achieve. Thank you for trusting me with his development, and I’m always here if you need a tune-up down the road. —Rick Pedersen | Rising Starr K9

Thank you so much, Anne! It was an absolute honor to be part of the Junior Achievement Technical Career Challenge and share the world of dog training with such a curious and engaged group of students. A huge shoutout to Erin with Winnie and Cathy with Indie—two incredible RSK9 alumni who generously volunteered their time and represented Rising Starr K9 with professionalism and pride. Watching the students interact, ask questions, and get inspired was a reminder of why we do what we do. We’d be proud to return anytime. Thank you for organizing such a meaningful event for the next generation. – Rick Pedersen, Rising Starr K9 #RSK9 #RickPedersen #DogTrainingMatters #CareerInspiration #GratitudeInAction

Thank you, Jonathan! I appreciate the kind words and the effort you put into the CGC class. Your dedication showed, and it’s been awesome to see the progress you and your dog made together. Starting earlier is always a win, but you came in ready to work—and that’s what made the difference. Thanks for trusting Rising Starr K9, and congrats again on earning that CGC badge! Keep leading, keep training—and reach out anytime. – Rick Pedersen | Rising Starr K9 #BestDogTrainer2025 #RisingStarrK9 #RickPedersen #LaCrosseDogTrainer #CGCGraduates #TopRatedTrainer #ClientWins
