Robin's Dog Stars

I have know Robin Bengston for about 9 years. She was an experienced dog trainer when we met and has continued to study and learn dog training skills and techniques. We started using Robin professionally when our newfie came home at 12 weeks. He's going to be 8 in Oct. We began his training right away. We do refreshers at least once a year. We also did more regular training when we brought home a golden-doodle a year after our newfie came home for puppy training and teaching both of them. We still do annual refreshers with both boys. Robin shapes her lessons/classes around the animal's needs and the owner's desires. She's extremely concerned about customer service. She is result driven and doesn't like it when clients choose to stop training before the dog is really finished. Over our almost 8 year trainer/client relationship we have been horoughly pleased and will continue to use and recommend her training.

I used to use other area boarding facilities until I found Robins Dog Stars. The experience has been much easier and relaxed than with other boarders I had used in the past. Robin is a true professional that cares for my dog like he’s her own (seeing him so happy when I drop him off alone puts me at ease). Besides from boarding dogs, Robin is a professional dog trainer and entertainer (I like to refer to her as “Lake County’s Dog Whisperer” as she really just has an amazing way with them). She has also started training my dog. Having a dog that was born deaf, she gave me some great tips that Petsmart was never able to with a “special needs” dog. While I am away, I often like to check in to see how my dog is - I have found her to be very accessible by phone, text or computer (If she is not able to get to the phone, she gets back to you very quickly.) Tip: Watch her Facebook page as well as she will often post pictures of the dogs she is boarding! Thank you Robin for putting me at ease when I have to leave my pup when I go out of town!

Robin is an excellent trainer! She is very knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. She can work with any type of dog and any type of owner, from the new pet owner to the experienced pet owner she can help you with any situation. If you are looking for a great trainer and a trainer that doesn't just train the dog but also guides the owners in the right direction than Robin is the trainer for you!
