Our Positive Approach to Service Dog Training

At North Star Training Academy, we believe in harnessing the power of positivity to create reliable, confident service dogs that truly transform lives. Our training philosophy centers on humane, science-based methods that prioritize your dog's emotional well-being while equipping them with essential skills for real-world support. Unlike outdated dominance-based techniques, we focus on building strong bonds through rewards, encouragement, and mutual respect—ensuring your service dog not only performs tasks flawlessly but also thrives as a happy companion.

Here's what sets our positive approach apart:

Reward-Based Learning for Lasting Results: We reinforce desired behaviors without fear or punishment. This creates eager learners who retain skills long-term.
Customized Training for Specific Needs: Our expert trainers assess your dog's temperament and your lifestyle to design a plan that fits seamlessly, available at our convenient locations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Buenos Aires.
Focus on Emotional Health and Confidence: Positive reinforcement builds trust and reduces anxiety, helping dogs perform under stress. We incorporate desensitization and socialization to prepare them for diverse environments.

Rob has been absolutely incredible as Sasha’s trainer. From the very first session, his patience, professionalism, and natural talent with dogs truly stood out. He has a calm and confident way of working that immediately made Sasha feel safe and connected to him — she adores him. What amazes me the most is how quickly we’ve achieved results that I honestly thought were impossible. Gus breaks everything down so clearly, makes the process feel easy, and celebrates every little win with genuine joy. The progress has been almost immediate, and it’s all thanks to his expertise and dedication. He is kind, respectful, and truly exceptional at what he does. I’m so grateful for the work he’s doing with Sasha. Rob is simply the best, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who wants real, lasting results.

We started our service dog training with North Star a year ago and let me tell you, we have a 1 year old dog that is highly obedient, loving, would never bite a soul and is task trained for my daughter. Not just that, included in their plans you get a weekly group session once your dog graduates from minor obedience training. My daughter enjoys the Saturday classes, seeing all the other dogs and being able to socialize with others which has been a challenge for her in her elementary years. If i get another dog i would definitely utilize their services.

(Translated by Google) I'm very happy because Moka's behavior has improved a lot; she's learned new commands. Thank you, Professor Gustavo, for your patience. The whole family is very happy; we have a calmer life thanks to Moka's new progress. (Original) Estoy muy contenta porque Moka ha mejorado mucho en su conducta, aprendió nuevos comandos . Gracias profesor Gustavo por la paciencia . Toda la familia está muy feliz , tenemos una vida más tranquila a los nuevos progresos de Moka

Very hard to explain in few words how wonderful this dog training company is. You have to understand that not only the dogs are trained we, the owners, have to be trained too and all the trainers have the ability to communicate with both, remembering that dogs are easier than us parents!☺️I got all 3 packages starting from puppy to service dog. Max is 9 months old now and the difference since he started at 2 months old is amazing. Every single class Max and I learn something different, never boring. The group classes are fun because these dogs are alike having the same training and service dogs that already graduated are always present in these classes showing our babies the right behavior .

I highly recommend getting your dog trained by Marie and her team. Mila had so many bad habits like digging big holes in the back yard and not listening to basic commands. Marie lovingly put a stop to all of this and now I get continuous complements about how well mannered my dog is. I can take my dog so many places with confidence now as she is so calm and well behaved. I am so grateful I chose North Star to work with Mila. Marie is a true dog lover and dog expert which is evident from the first moment you meet her.

-Alisa G.

North Star is absolutely fantastic! Marie and Robbie were professional, on time, and so friendly—they truly loved my dog and made the whole experience enjoyable. Working with them was such a pleasure.
The skills my dog has learned on his journey to becoming a therapy dog are incredible and so helpful. The joy he now brings to others is all thanks to their expertise and dedication. Highly recommend!

-Jonh L.

I cant say enough good things about Marie and the team. They are very knowledgeable and passionate. The quality of their training is fantastic. They listen to your dog’s needs and customize the training. We recommend them without reservation
