Rockstar Dog - dogs 6 months to 12 months of age

Rockstar Extended - Dogs 13 months to 20 Months of age

Is your 6-12 month old puppy full of energy but lacking in manners? Our Rockstar program is perfect for dogs struggling with jumping, pulling, barking, or general impulsiveness.

Enjoy off-leash adventures together! Through our training, your dog will learn to come when called, stop pulling on the leash, and respect your boundaries. Say goodbye to jumping on guests and hello to a well-behaved companion.


Is your adolescent dog driving you crazy? Our Rockstar Extended program is designed to help dogs this age overcome challenging behaviors like excessive barking, jumping, and leash pulling.

Adolescent dogs have more deeply ingrained behaviors, but with extra time and patience, we can help your dog become a well-behaved companion.


Our program focuses on:

  • Impulse control: Teaching your dog to think before they act.
  • Focus and attention: Improving your dog's ability to stay on task.
  • Reliable behaviors: Training your dog to be obedient both at home and in public.

What Our clients Say



I thought I was at the end of my options with Winnie.  She was the definition of a bad dog.  I had worked hard to gain control over her and was getting no where.  She was getting to be more than I could handle.  I struggled with the idea of giving her up for adoption.  After sending her to Fran, she's a new dog.  I look forward to our daily walks.  Working with her is no longer a chore, but something I enjoy!

- allison

They did an amazing job training our dog!  They are very informative and keep you updated every step of the way.  I 100% recommend them for anyone who is looking to train their dog.  I have a friend who also had their dog trained with them 2 years ago and is still as trained as when they first left.  That is the reason why I wanted my dog to be trained there.

-Angelina G.

Fran did an amazing job with our lav who had little to no recall and darted all over on leashed walks. Knowing that we can hike of leash and know he will come back when called is priceless.  Walks are a pleasure now.  It's been almost a year since his stay and we have never regretted our investment and decision to send our dog to them

- Katy B.
