Why Reward-Based Methods?
Stardog cultivates a trusting & playful relationship between dogs and their people. Dogs behave because they want to & enjoy doing so – not out of fear of punishment. Communicating clearly & having fun are huge pieces of successful training. If you’re smiling and laughing while you train, you’re doing it right!

What Our Clients Say

“Erika is the best dog walker I have ever met. She exercises, plays with, and protects our little guy and he loves her. In fact, even though we hired her as a walker, not a trainer, he has been much better behaved since she came into his life. Erika just plain knows dogs of all kinds.”

Gordon E.

Schnitzel's Dad

“Erika is by far the most amazing dog trainer I have ever known! We were put in touch with her through a referral from the SPCA and she has truly been such a blessing to our family. From the moment the pups met her, I knew we hit the jackpot. She had a calm, quiet, respectful demeanor that they just responded so well to!

Pepe & Pipsqueak's Mom

“My partner and I just completed an SFCA dog training class lead by Erika. We have a cutie pie little chinese crested who can charm the pants off of you – but is a bit of a ditz when it comes to training. After 5 classes, our creature was a little star. He even sat, and touched our hand, and paid some attention. THAT was a miracle.”
