Starr Dog Behavior

Working with Joseph involves learning how to be a stronger and more confident pack leader, just as much, if not more, on how to address dog behavioral issues. If you're wondering why your dog struggles to listen to commands and how you can overcome day-to-day obstacles, these training sessions/programs really make you reflect on how you're showing up for your dog(s) to create a safe and relaxing environment that everyone will benefit from. He keeps it real and truly cares about the wellbeing of the pack leader and the dog(s). This isn't the type of dog training is a one and done program. This is a journey that requires mindset and lifestyle changes for long term success. I first started working with Joseph back in 2020 and as my pack continues to grow, it's great to come back for check-ins and continued education. Highly recommend. :)

Joseph has been training our dog Romie off and on for over a year and the results have been amazing. She started off as a shy and scared rescue, badly in need of some confidence. He worked with her (and me) to gain trust and be more confident around strangers and other dogs. And then once her confidence was up, we did the 3-week intensive board and train. She came back to us well behaved, calm and sweeter than ever. The difference is dramatic and Joseph helped us bring out the best in her. I cannot recommend him highly enough. It's worth every penny.

Joseph is straight forward in addressing issues and setting expectations. He explained why our dogs were behaving the way they were, and provided actionable steps to begin improving their behaviors and our abilities as owners. I appreciate how he works on principles, which have worked as a guide to continue confidently working with my dogs after our training sessions. My experience with Joseph has been great, and my dogs’ behavior has dramatically improved.
