She now walks in heel, sits and stays in place, comes when called, and drops the ball among many other skills.

I have a spoiled dog. She didn't come to me that way; I created that all on my own, 1 ice cream, 2…read moretoys, and 3 treats at a time. I take her with me to as many places as I can. One of those places is the Whitehall Petsmart. My girl LOVES people more than anything in the world, and I knew the moment I brought her home, she was meant to be a therapy dog. However, in her enthusiastic love for everyone, she didn't know how to greet them without the exuberance of a tornado. I knew we *both* needed a good trainer. I took a chance on enrolling her in this Petsmart's beginning obedience class and met Darren--the person who quickly became my dog's new best friend. His love of dogs was evident immediately. His approach to training not only focuses on positive reinforcement of the dog's behavior, but the human's as well. The dog and owner really become a team under his guidance. Though I've had dogs all my life and have experience with three other trainers, I found myself gaining new understanding and confidence in how I worked with my girl. Darren celebrates both what the dog achieves and what the owner achieves with their handling, and he gently points out ways to improve or modify training and handling if needed. I became so invested in my dog's education, I signed up for the intermediate class. Then the advanced level and finally the Brain Games class. After all of it, I have a well-adjusted greyhound who is proud to show her tricks and good behavior, who I can take anywhere, who is completely ready to become a therapy dog. In training her, I have become a more relaxed dog owner, and she's become a more relaxed dog because she knows what I'm asking from her. We couldn't have gotten to this point without Darren. All that training came with a lot of trips to this Petsmart. I have interacted with all of the employees and the manager, Sarah, and I have seen their customer service and love of animals in action. These are some of the nicest people I've encountered in any pet store in the Lehigh Valley. They are knowledgeable about their products, ready to give advice when needed, and their smiles are big and genuine. Their excitement to see and interact with pets who come in with their owners is also great to see in action. Regulars, like my girl are often greeted by name from memory, but even the non-regular dogs who come in are called by their names once owners tell them what it is. The people who work there make it a feel-good environment whenever I go. That's not to say that I've never encountered something that I needed help with, but when that has happened, manager Sarah has *immediately* addressed my issue with calmness and professionalism, ready to tackle my needs. With a dog I treasure so much, I wouldn't recommend or frequent just any place or pet store, let alone give a happy review, unless I felt that my business--and most importantly, my dog--was valued and welcome. Definitely not all Petsmarts, but this one--A+.

He would spend hours at a time standing in our living room barking at us and had us at wits end. He would pick and choose when he wanted to listen and when he wanted to do his own thing, and he was so terrified/defensive of other dogs, we worried whenever we took him out where other dogs would be. Now, Chewbacca is a top-notch gentleman. Starr not only taught us and Chewy lots of new commands, more importantly she taught us how to handle him and how to take the lead. Chewy has not only completely transformed in listening to us, but he is also now substantially more comfortable around dogs he doesn't know - something we never believed would happen. What Start was able to teach us and Chewy was absolutely life changing for all of us - thank you Starr!

I had no idea just how much better they could be. Starr has brought us a much more relaxed home and for that I am eternally grateful. A couple ways our life has changed: Everytime I had my windows or doors open my boys would bark at the slightest noise whether it be a car, person, or their shadow. I am now able to sleep with my windows open for the first time in 6 years. My neighbors can be outside and I can have my doors open and my boys no longer bark incessantly. I can now sit on my porch with my boys and enjoy my neighborhood and evenings without my boys going crazy and trying to run all over. My boy Cache used to act like a mongrel walking on a leash. We were unable to take him anywhere. He's literally torn pads on his feet trying to get into the vets office from pulling so hard. Since the training, I am able to walk Cache into the vet, get a weight on him by myself, and Cache will actually lay down and wait to be seen. We used to have to wait in the car and carry him in. We recently brought the boys out for icecream and multiple people have commented on just how well behaved they are. A couple months ago we would have never heard that! In January my boys had a difference of opinion about the ownership of a bone and my boy Damian had bit my Cache. Cache understandably had some trust issues. I felt as though I was walking on eggshells thinking they were going to have continual issues. Starr's training has brought my boys back together and have strengthened their bond with not only me and my husband but also with each other. They are starting to play and cuddle with each other again. "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."- Edward Everett Hale Starr's training works! My whole house is much calmer and I have a renewed confidence in my boys and also myself. I feel much more in control. Training was hard work and dedication but my boys are worth it! Thanks to Starr's training my heart is full of happiness with all of the success we have achieved and no words can truly express just how grateful I am...
