Stellar Dog

FREE training Program

About Our Program

Stellar Dogs was named after our oldest dog, Stella. A rescue with an uncertain start, Stella could have easily ended up struggling with behavioral issues without the right guidance. Instead, with proper training and patience, she became a truly stellar dog—so much so that she now serves as Max’s service dog.

While not every dog is destined for service work, every dog deserves a chance to thrive. That’s why we created the Stellar Dogs Free Training Program—to provide free training to owners who might otherwise feel overwhelmed, out of control, or hopeless about their dog’s behavior. We believe that with the right tools, education, and support, owners can build stronger, more trusting relationships with their dogs.

Though we offer training for free, the real work happens at home. Owners play the most important role in their dog’s success by implementing the training and staying consistent. Our goal is to empower them with the skills and knowledge they need to create positive, lasting change.

Because every dog, no matter their past, deserves the chance to be stellar.

Help us provide free training for dogs at risk for euthanasia, rehoming, or abandonment.

Why give?

  • Your donation helps provide professional dog training at no cost, ensuring every dog and owner have access to essential skills, regardless of financial situation.

  • Donations go directly toward training materials, educational resources, and outreach efforts to help more dogs and their humans.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

  • Training increases a dog’s adoptability, giving rescue pups a better chance at finding their forever homes.
