5 Star Dog Training - Thornton, Colorado

So thankful for all of the help! We adopted a sweet dog who needed to learn some manners and Deanna helped us so much. Even my older dog learned lots of new things. I feel like Deanna did such a good job not only with my dogs, but with teaching me how to better communicate with them.

We are so grateful to Deanna for all of the amazing work she has done with our two dogs! We now feel comfortable having guests over, and trusting our dogs around kids. They’re walking better on leashes than ever and are non-reactive to the doorbell now. Deanna has a true gift and we are forever appreciative for what she’s done for our family.

DeAnna is absolutely fantastic! She is so gentle with our dog. Working with her has taught me so much about recognizing certain behaviors and how to address them. I would recommend DeAnna to anyone who needs a little or a lot of guidance in training for their dog.

Best money we have spent in a while! Before we met Deanna - we were talking about letting go of one of our pups. I had never experienced a trainer and thought “before I give up on this pup, I need to try everything!” So glad I did.

DeAnna is amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and helped my dog learn quickly. Her approach is both patient and effective, making the training experience enjoyable for both of us. I’ve seen such positive changes in my dog’s behavior, and I feel much more confident as an owner. I highly recommend DeAnna to anyone seeking training—she truly knows what she’s doing!

Deanna is amazing. We have a 12 week old German Shepard Akita mix who is a great dog and has so much potential but we weren’t quite sure how to tap into it! In only 2 sessions so far(we will be continuing with Deanna all throughout his adolescence) he has completely changed! He is able to do things we didn’t even think possible at his age and Deanna has guided us through everything from behaviors, obedience, nutrition, grooming and everything in between. She’s one of a kind! Highly recommend 5 star dog training. Yes, it’s true, you can go get training at pertsmart or petco for less but I can tell you right now it won’t be as personalized or as effective as Deanna’s private sessions. She really cares about your pet and your family, and it’s done in your own environment! A dog is at least a decade commitment and hopefully longer if you listen to Deanna’s nutrition advice! Invest in your pup! 😊🐶🐾

DeAnna is amazing!!

My situation: I recently went through a separation and my dog Bear Bear no longer had a buddy with him while I was at work. I work nights and he was going through separation anxiety. Moving into an apartment complex, his barking was very bothersome to my neighbors. Eventually, the complex gave me 10 days to either fix the issue, remove my baby Bear Bear, or move out. DeAnna made time immediately to come help and even took time to speak with the leasing office, letting them know of the plan. After only one training session, he was already almost completely silent while I was at work. Now, he doesn't bark at all.
He is also much calmer around loud noises and easier to settle down if he does get riled up.

DeAnna is also incredibly knowledgeable in dog health. Bear Bear had gained weight and was moving slower due to possible pains. (He is 6 and a half years old) We changed his diet and in just a few weeks has noticeably lost weight, has more energy and pep in his step.

I highly recommend this wonderful woman for any issues you may have with your pet. She truly cares for animals and goes above and beyond to help.

DeAnna has been amazing!! My 2 pups, 1 year old corgi and 11 month old border collie were struggling. Even after the first visit there was a difference. She's great at explaining everything and following up with the homework she gives. Day 1, Stella(border) snapped and barked at her. By the last visit, she ran up into her arms. No running out the door, learning their place, and even stopped the barking at the kiddos on the trampoline! She's so informative of dog food, health and behaviors. I'd recommend her over and over. She makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet her. I'm so grateful to have found her!!
