FirstBarkWe can’t say enough good things about Sam and Stellar Canine! Coming to her with 3 dogs; one “older” temperamental pup and TWO GSD puppies, Sam doesn’t even bat an eye. We feel so comfortable knowing our pups are in the best hands. Sam’s passion for what she does makes this an easy yes to continue to utilize her over and over. Thank you Sam!!!

Samantha at Stellar Canine is a amazing! The training has been so easy. The slip noose lead worked instantly on our rescue dog, Rusty. We feel so lucky to have found her & Stellar Canine. Friends forever!
My sweet mini Australian Shepherd spent two weeks training and when she came home she was even more amazing. She learned so much , since we have been home she is listening well, leash walking perfect, and just all around better listener . We are so grateful to have found stellar Canine, She was loved well cared for and treated like I would treat her. Looking forward to a long-term relationship.

Words truly cannot describe the influence that Sam has had on me and my family. I found my dog, June, on the side of the road in early June 2023. I attempted to train June using YouTube videos, advice from friends and Google, etc. But, with a full-time job, it seemed impossible for me to provide June with the quality training that I knew she needed in order to gain confidence and also gain trust in me. I found Sam through a quick Google search, and within hours, she got back to me, and a consultation was scheduled within the week. There is no other person on the North Shore that I would trust training my dog than Sam. Even a year later, Sam will frequently send me messages to check in on June and I. She has truly made me feel as though June and I are a part of her own family. The confidence that my dog has gained is indescribable, and every day our relationship grows even more. I really don’t know what I would have done without Sam’s training and guidance!

Stellar Canine was an amazing experience. Sam is the kindest human who listens to wants, needs, and expectations for you and your dog. Same set very realistic goals for you and your dog. Provides simple and easy homework to follow. Completed 3 days at her facility with an over night board. My 11 month old puppy gained some new skills, great socialization with other dogs and distractions, more receptive on leash. Focusing on calm greetings, perfecting the recall, on and off leash manners. Body language and the use of a rhythmic style pressure. The facility is very clean and safe environment, I was not once concerned about the safety or well being of my dog. Sam updated me daily with videos and pictures. Allowed for flexible pick up and drop off times. Highly recommend and will continue using Sam as our family trainer for ongoing adventures! I cannot thank her enough for her time, patience, and attention to detail!
