Working with Beth was a pleasure.
Our pup Sammy has learned to sit
Come Shake and some Heel at
5 months old. Sammy is a headstrong standard poodle and Beth has been great in training me too!
I look forward to calling on her in the future and happy to provide a wonderful recommendation. Thank you

Beth was always prompt and full of doggy-training knowledge. She came prepared with treats and props for each of her lessons. She has a great presence and my dog loved her. Her patience and sweet demeanor make her a perfect fit to help train your puppy! More...

Beth was absolutely amazing with our big girl Parker. We all truly enjoyed our training sessions together. Parker mostly because of the treats and us adults for watching the progress happen before our eyes. Thank you Beth for working with our crazy schedule and training our Mastiff Parker P. More...

Beth is the best trainer. She is also a very nice Lady and we enjoyed the training as well, due to her expertise and her kindness to both Buck and us!
She really knows her stuff. Keeping the class understandable, uncomplicated and fun. We got good results early on with Buck.
Many thanks again.

First I would like to say what a pleasure Beth has been to work with. I have a miniature schnauzer puppy, that we trained for basic obedience. Izzy, is doing great with her training. Beth is very patient and so loving to our two dogs. Can’t wait for continued education for both of them. Thank you Beth for being so exceptional. More...

Beth with Star Puppy Academy is an absolute treasure. Over 6 weeks, she helped in reducing our pup’s anxiety, mastery of basic obedience, and was an overall joy to be around. Our dog Winston was always so engaged and had a blast during every training session! Our dog has made a new friend, and we’re so lucky she was apart of his growth. I highly recommend her for your new puppy training, up to a year old! More...

Beth is so knowledgeable and great with the puppies. She taught us great techniques and was wonderful to work with.
Sabrina
Beth has such a genuine love for dogs & I think that really allows the pups she works with to be comfortable with her . She is a kind and gentle soul with so much patience. My little lab puppy Ellie learned so much . Everything from basic training to pool safety. I cannot recommend Star puppy academy enough! More...
Timmi
Beth really helped me out with my 8 month old rescue. He had been neglected and not trained before we found each other. After just 1 session Fuggie learned 3 commands. Over our 3 sessions I saw growth with both of us. She was really there more to show me what to do. Fuggie is on the path to be a great well behaved dog! All thanks to Beth I couldn’t have done it without here. More...
Sue

She taught me the techniques to use to continue training between sessions to reinforce her training. I am most pleases with the outcome of her training More...

Beth is an amazing trainer! She helped me out so much with my almost 1 year old cockapoo. He loves her so much and enjoyed training with her! I highly recommend hiring Beth as your dog’s trainer!

Our baby Pug, Walter, adores Beth. He has the attention span of a fly but for Beth, he’ll do just about anything!
In just a couple of training sessions, she had him sitting, laying down and staying in place and it took her only about 10 mins to teach him to use the doggie door!
I can’t recommend her too highly, she has a gift. Beth loves the dogs and they know it!
Thanks Beth!

Beth is so kind, patient and gives clear direction. She’s really great with my pup too 😂 Seriously though, Beth is wonderful and provides great training in home, and out in public as your pup progresses. She gives advice on tools and tips and is available if you have a quick question as your pup is growing and exhibiting new behaviors. Highly recommend! More...

Beth was such a great trainer for our LhasaPoo! Her obedience training was very intuitive and gave us tips on how to better communicate with our dog. She was very helpful with our dog's potty-training and self-soothing problems as well. We made sure to implement what she taught us into a daily routine and we quickly started to see results! She's also very sweet and gentle, our boy loves it when she comes over! I definitely recommend Beth for all of your puppy problems and training needs! More...

I paid for six sessions for my now 8 month old puppy to be potty trained. Instead of any effective potty training, she taught him a few insignificant tricks and spent a good amount of time taking pictures for her instagram account. I have followed all instructions I received for potty training, and at 8 months old my dog is still peeing inside the house three times a day. While I am aware that potty training is a process, I do not believe my dog took away any training for which we actually paid him to receive. I tried holding this review back because of how nice and caring the trainer is, but after months of the same issue I feel I should share this for other potential clients. More...

Thank you for writing a review. We appreciate your feedback, as we are always looking for ways to improve our internal training process. Although all puppies are not the same, if you been doing the necessary work of constantly monitoring your pup, I’m sure he’ll be potty trained in no time.

I highly recommend Star Puppy Academy! We were having such a difficult time training our new puppy Max. Beth was very professional and took "baby steps" during the training process. He has not graduated yet but we're almost there!! Thanks Beth. ❤️ More...

I love Beth, and more importantly, so does my puppy. Hopper gives her 98% of her attention, because, come on, she's a dachshund puppy, and there is no such thing as 100% from a doxie puppy.
She is so very patient and is totally engaging. She asks before adds anything new or different treats. And she very conscious of possible allergies. She's also very respectful of any nutritional preferences.
I would totally recommend her services to anyone. I intend to have her train my other doxie puppy next.

We’ve been using Star Puppy Academy for about a month now and our little pup has made so much progress. Beth is always on time and always uses our full hour to train our baby. If you reinforce the training Beth does outside of your weekly appointment you will see amazing progress. I recommend Star Puppy Academy to all my friends with new puppies in their lives. More...

Can I just say that I absolutely love Beth and so do my two pups! She is so kind and works so well with the both of them. She's been here 3 times and already my husband and I have seen a dramatic change in behavior ! I am so happy to have found her and will refer her to everyone looking for a trainer. More...

Beth is a very caring and passionate trainer. She has a lot of experience, and is kind enough to share her knowledge. She is consistent with training our 3 mos old Golden doodle, Mozzy.
She leaves us instructions on how to continue the training by ourselves.
It is fun watching our puppy train with Beth. After 5 days, Mozzy learned several tricks!
Beth is a highly recommended trainer!
Thank you, Beth.

What do you love most about your job?
The fact that I might make a difference from somebody keeping their dog or re-homing them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
During covid was off work for 493 days and decided to get in touch with the AKC start learning how to teach. 
Why should our clients choose you?
First, because I really care about dogs and their well being. I have a different approach. I train the pup and the owner reinforces the behavior in-between sessions.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Not at this time. I do plan on offering remote classes in the future.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I always let my clients know that I have been fully vaccinated. Plus the booster. I also find out what their preference is on wearing a mask.
Sit Stay and dont not Jump
These are the first things I teach, as they all can be built upon. Its all about communication.
STOP the barking!!!
I have proven methods that does not curve but STOP the barking when the doorbell rings.
Heeling
We want to start this right away. I always start 'inside' so they know what to do prior to going outside.
