Led by Elle Starr, a professional dog trainer with over a decade of experience and a heart full of sparkle, our programs combine real-life results with zero judgement.

Absolute Life Saver!!! Call them now!!!!!

Can't recommend The Dog Star Academy enough! If there is such thing a "dog whisperer" this lady is it! Had a situation bringing a (toy poodle) puppy into the home of a 5 year old toy poodle. Thought they would keep each other company while we were out at work. 5 year old immediately was very unhappy with the new edition (very reactive/scared of the new comers BIG personality.....we now know we were trying to force a timid introvert to take on a very boisterous extrovert who didn't know when to back away. We were stressed. Elle has guided us and provided us with techniques/strategies to help us to have the dogs in the same household. We can now see (in a very short space of time) that yes....we can do this! Her knowledge and experience is second to none and she genuinely cares about our dogs and helping find the solutions that work. Stop stressing and call now....you will not regret it. Thank you Elle you are super star...making a real difference.

A friend in times of need…

Elle answered all questions and was with us along the way from getting our puppy toilet trained to now working on her becoming a service dog for my father who has macular degeneration. Every time we were stumped and didn’t know what else to do to get our precocious puppy toilet trained do better, she walked us through problem solving to a respectful and conscientious dog. A true friend in times of need!
