Starla Dog Training - CPDT Certified Private Dog Trainer - Hamtramck, MI
My name is Kristen, and I am a certified, force-free dog trainer. I have 6 years of experience training dogs in a shelter environment. Three years ago I started my own training business and received my CPDT.
I have experience working with reactive and fearful dogs, phobias, puppies, nuisance behaviors, teaching basic manners, and more!
All of my training is positive reinforcement, and based on building a strong human-canine bond built on trust and compassion.
I look forward to working with you and your dog! Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.
