In 2018, we worked with Jen & Aaron with our first German Shepherd, Luna. We adopted her at 6yo, she was a great dog, but reactive to other dogs. With 1-on-1 training classes, Jen helped us get Luna to tolerate other dogs without reacting. After Luna passed we decided to get another GSD, but, in a moment of insanity :-) decided to get a puppy. We found Cinder from a breeder in OK, and brought her home in Aug. '25. Cinder is a sweet, smart little fur-missile with tons of energy and a stubborn streak. As soon as we got her, I contacted Jen for some advice and she was very helpful. She suggested we consider the 3 week B&T class when Cinder turned 6 months old. We signed up for the Dec 2025 class, Cinder was 5.5 months old when we dropped her off. That was great advice and a great decision. My wife, Michelle, was very skeptical, as she thought Cinder was untrainable. However, after 3 weeks with Aaron & Jen, Cinder came back a new dog. No, she's not perfect, she's still young and has a lot to learn. However, she is great on walks and is now controllable. Michelle now feels she has some tools to use to help her control Cinder as we know she will be a big dog, and learning manners early is so critical. A few days after coming home, I was walking Cinder through a nearby neighborhood, and a Dad and son stopped to talk to me. He complimented me on Cinder and said, "She walks really well for a puppy." I told him she just got home from 3 weeks of training. He said, "I can tell, I've been a Police K9 Handler for several years." We chatted for a bit, he asked me different questions about what I learned, etc. In parting, he said, "Kudos to your Trainer, they knew what they were doing." We highly recommend the B&T classes with Jen & Aaron, especially for a young, working breed dog, where early obedience training is critical. Thanks to Jennifer and Aaron for all their help and patience! PS: You can follow Cinder on IG at @cinder_ella_in_tx
If you want to be able to take your dog anywhere, on or off-leash, you've come to the right place! I've had two of my dogs trained by Jen & Aaron, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. If you're considering getting your dog trained here, just do it. My life and the lives of my dogs are significantly better because of the training they received at Lucky Star. It's so much more fun taking them on adventures knowing their off-leash recall is dialed, they aren't pulling on the leash, and they obey my commands. I will always get my dogs trained here and board them with Jen & Aaron when I'm out of town!
Jen and Aaron are an absolute godsend. We found ourselves, unexpectedly, the proud parents of a 8 week old Husky rescued from the side of the road. A couple months later we found out we were expecting a new two legged member of our family and it was clear that we needed to call in the big guns to help manage our very smart, very head strong puppy before the baby came. We’d both had well trained dogs before but this little Husky was in a class all his own. We chose Jen and Aaron based on other reviews, and they delivered beyond our expectations. The transformation they were able to achieve was nothing short of a miracle. We dropped off a 7 month old puppy that pulled on the leash no matter how hard we tried to correct it, listened only when he decided he wanted to, and who couldn’t be coaxed to focus even with the highest value treats we could find. What we got back was an 8-month old dog that doesn’t need a leash on walks and does what he’s asked to when we ask him (even if he’s a little sassy about it). They even took the time to get him accustomed to walking next to a stroller. Their system for implementing the e-collar is incredibly effective. When we went to pick him up, they took as much time as we needed to train us in how to handle him and redirect his attention when there are distractions. They’re not just great dog trainers, they’re wonderful people who take the time and energy to truly connect with your dog and understand their needs. We’ll be recommending Lucky Star to all our family and friends, and would recommend them for even the most “impossible” cases.
I cannot recommend Jennifer and Aaron of Lucky Star Dog Training enough! I put my 6 month old dog into the Lucky Star Dog Training 3-week board and train program. I was a little nervous at first about the cost but WOW it was worth every penny to have a dog that is trained, confident and to have this from the start of her life is amazing. I still can't believe that I have a dog that can walk off-leash just as well as on-leash. My dog was nervous around other dogs but that quickly changed through the boarding program as well. At the end of the training/boarding period Jennifer took the time to thoroughly explain the training methods and made sure I understood everything. She also checked in with me after I took my dog (Bailey) home and made sure everything was going well.
It's hard to even articulate what a difference Jen and Aaron have made for our family!! We sought them out after recommendations from friends but I was having trouble stomaching and justifying the cost. After getting our nearly 7 month old labradoodle, Macy, back last week I am positive it was worth every penny. It is so much more relaxing and enjoyable to have a dog who you can truly communicate with and who has impulse control! Before training our kids wanted to walk her but couldn't because of the pulling and biting the leash. Now they can take her off leash and she's right there, listening/paying attention to them. We can have people over and they aren't attacked by her love and she's not a sock thief anymore! Jen did such a great job of really helping us see what Macy was capable of and explaining everything so we could take her home and continue to reinforce the training. She was great about asking what questions we had and answering anything that comes up. We've already got boarding scheduled for a few different times through the summer and know she's going to love it! I have no doubt we're going to reap the benefits of this training for years to come!
