"The classes were great! This is the most rewarding obedience class I have taken. Questions and issues were dealt with promptly, I never felt I was being critisized - positive reinforcement always. He has matured and settled, he now understands what is expected of him and I feel more confident handling him." - Pat Legg, Mission BC |

"Stephanie, Lily learned so much in these sessions (Basic Obedience and House Manners 101 Classes). She has stopped guarding her food with Eddy. Also when we are eating she doesn't beg or put the chomp down on Eddy. She is very manageable when someone is at the door. She will sit even if she is hyped! Well worth the training" Kelly Fuller and Lily, Mission BC |

"I enjoyed the content covered over the weeks, the individual attention to the dogs by the instructors, and the interaction between Forrest and myself. We LOVED everything! He's more attentive to me, learning 'loose leash walking' has made our walks more enjoyable.. (I'm more confident). He listens and follows instructions better. Forrest is definitely a quick learner, he seemed to really enjoy the classes too! As soon as we pulled down the street to the park he got super excited! The best part was seeing the changes in ME!! More confidence and understanding has made all the difference.Thank-You! Can't wait for the next set of classes!"

"I enjoyed the knowledge and support I received, especially when I thought there was no hope! Even being 8 months pregnant I enjoyed getting out and learning. What a huge change! He has calmed down a lot and is much more obedient. Thank you Stephanie for the extra help and one on one time during class when I was getting frustrated!" Celynn Hogarth and Opie, Mission BC |

"The class is run extremely well. As a teacher, you show great patience and knowledge. I enjoyed the small class size and the individual attention. You helped us enjoy our dog again. As a family we were getting frustrated with his training at home. I have already recommended the class and your services to my co-workers that are frustrated." Caroline Steele and Thor, Mission BC |

"Loved that it was outdoors and so close to home. Tuesday evenings were perfect! I really appreciated the small class size so we could have a lot of 1:1 time with instructors for specific issues. I have no complaints - it was great and I have really noticed improvements with my relationship with my dog and my ability to communicate with him. Thanks Stephanie! Keep up the awesome work!" Lee-Ann Brown and Maestro, Mission BC |

"I have nothing but great things to say about the class. Good class size, and even though we were outside, i felt the dogs were safe as you and Galen and others were always watching out for them. The class was the perfect length too, as Alfie i think would've zoned out if was any longer. I think what i loved best was the personal one on one advice i received during the practice sessions. E.g. tips about body language and unique things about the Great pyr in general. Both you and Galen could really see what would motivate my Alfie (as it may be different for other dogs). I as well, loved that it was reward based and you didn't use corrections, as i find that's what i fall back on a lot. And lastly your PATIENCE and calm energy was tremendous.
Over the past four months since bringing Alfie home, i've had many occasions where, as a single person working full time, I feel that i've taken on more than i can handle with Alfie being my third dog. Your class and your weekly daycare have really helped in providing me with the tools and support I need to continue." Joan Churchill and Alfie, Mission BC |

Natashia and 'Winston' the Great Dane!

"I have a fear reactive Great Dane... almost afraid of his own shadow...and AllStars K9 Training has supported my need to recondition my dog through the use of positive reinforcements and positive scenarios. It is not about training the dog, but rather training the owner to learn to communicate and interact with the dog. I feel that these professional dog trainers truly empower both the owners and the dogs. Thanks to their dedication Winston is becoming a much more confident dog, and was even able to successfully complete an obedience course! I highly recommend these trainers as they use science-based trust models, are friendly, professional, and are continually improving their canine knowledge to better serve our training needs. Thank you Allstars K9 Training!" Natashia Cox and Winston, Mission BC |

"The class size was good and the one-on-one attention was more than I expected; this allowed you to coach us in behavioural areas outside of what was currently being practiced e.g. addressing dog frustration during sit stay. I really appreciated the idea/reminder that communicating with our dog is a 2 way communication, not just "do as I say". The outdoors element of the training did not bother me at all, in fact, I think the location was perfect.
I have to admit that I actively promote you to other dog owners, whether they are friends, neighbours or strangers at Heritage park. I do this becauseI believe in you and I really appreciate the work that you are doing." Stephanie St Jean and Gracie, Mission BC |

"Stephanie, we took Tessa for her walk this am. She was soooo gooood. Madison walked her all the way with no trouble. We met people, she kept on going; we met a dog she had a sniff and we were on our way. Thank you so much. I hope that I am able to keep it up. She is amazing. You are very good at what you do. She has been a princess today, all day. It is like a different dog has come into my life. Thank you."
Maureen Harper and Tessa, Mission BC |

"I was very impressed that Stephanie took the time to visit us in our home before the classes started to evaluate our dog and us. I feel that this not only put our minds at ease, but made her more prepared in how best to help us get the most out of the lessons and our dog." "We are very pleased with the classes lots of attention, hands on help great tips about personal little troubles. Theres no more pulling on the leash, much calmer around other dogs sit & stay even around distractions. He's a happier dog, more settled." Gayle, Adrian & 'Toby' Gagner, Mission BC |

'Wabi' the golden retreiver and her pals practice a sit/stay!
|
"We walk them around the lake and Wabi does not bother with anyone or anything as long as I am with her. I am so proud of her. People even remark about how she is. I tell them that she had some great training." "I am so proud of her, I can take her in pet stores and walk around the malls and she walks and pays no attention to other dogs that are aggressive. She just walks away." Linda Zaluska & 'Wabigon', Mission BC (About our Private Training!) |
"Stephanie has always had a great attitude when working with both people and dogs, and she's very helpful and informative. I would recommend Allstars to anyone with a dog looking for training that will be fun, and help them bond with their furry best friend."
