    Program details

    The All Star program is more comprehensive and your dog will learn several more behaviors. Your dog will be easy to control both inside and outside of your home. You also get the added bonus of email support for 4 months after we’ve finished the training sessions. This way you can feel free to contact me with any questions or issues that come up therefore ensuring the best possible outcome!

    The Ultimate Foundation is, well, the ultimate! It is the most comprehensive program and the results are pretty amazing. It consists of a combination of day training sessions, where I work with your dog solo to get the training on board more quickly, plus private sessions where we work together so you know what your dog knows. Your dog will respond to cues, be a pleasure to walk, and shine as an important member of your family. You receive unlimited email and phone support for six months after we’ve finished the training sessions. That’s right, a trainer on hand to answer your questions and problem solve while your dog is perfecting its newly acquired behaviors!

Megan was a true pleasure to work with! We decided to go with Stellar Dog to help us with our sweet, but crazy, 8 month old puppy. Megan took the time to understand our specific situation and helped us with those areas, versus just going through a set of commands. She was flexible with her scheduling and always on time and ready to work. She did a great job in training our dog, as well as making sure we knew how to do it correctly, as well. She wants you to succeed and you can tell she cares. I highly recommend Megan for any and all your training needs! P.S. she takes amazing photos during her sessions on her phone, which always come out great, that she will post on her Instagram account - it's a must follow!

I have gone to multiple trainers to help me with my dog jumping on people. Megan was the first trainer (and the only successful trainer) to identify different methods I could use with Rufus to stop him from jumping on people. She also was insightful into his stress reactions to the training (e.g. licking around his mouth) and how my actions influenced his ability to learn. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

The Stellar Dog (aka-Megan) is amazing! Like any crazy dog lady, I have 4 dogs (3 are puppies) and 1 is a senior citizen (17-yrs old)... I called Megan in because the puppies were getting out of control and weren't listening very well. Megan came in and gave my daughter and I some very easy, yet effective training techniques that have helped my pups and their behavior dramatically. Megan clearly loves what she does and is EXCELLENT at her craft. You will *not* be disappointed and I doubt you'll find any personal, in-home training for a better bargain. THANKS MEGAN! xoxo- Deeana, Corina, Jax, Carmelo, Nova, Mumford

Worked with Megan for a long 3 week training schedule with my leash reactive dog. She showed me some good tips to keep practicing and explained it's pretty much something to keep working at and to take it slow. And while I don't think he'll be running on trails with me anytime soon, he has already shown improvements on our walks. I just have to keep on with what she taught me. The only drawback was the priciness of it, but I got recommendations from a friend I trust who said negative things about some other trainers/training places that I had googled that were closer. I paid a little premium for her to come out to my place, but thought it was worth it for him to get trained in the area he lives in and I'll be walking/playing with him. Don't expect magic (but that will be with any trainer) as it's mostly about being consistent. I've noticed a big difference, but I still have lots of work to do.

Megan Sartori should have the title of "The Dog Whisperer!" Her gentle, caring training is remarkable. She understands the dog and my dog loves her! I have contact with other dogs she has trained, and their owners all agree with me. Megan is so positive and is extremely gentle in her training. I highly recommend Megan and her expertise for any dog...and owner...who need training. I have personally learned so much about my dog that she has taught me. Working with Megan is a true learning experience....not only for me dog, but for me. She truly is the very best trainer available. We will stay in touch because she really cares about the pet AND the owner!!!
