We believe in working with, not against, our animal friends and building strong relationships, not inspiring fear.

Certifications and Memberships
Stellar Pets strives to always provide you with the best quality education when it comes to teaching you how to work with your animal companions. In order to do this, there is a never-ending cycle of learning and growth. Crystal does this through attending conferences, seminars, and completing training courses, working with other trainers, and challenging herself to meet some of the highest standards in dog training. In an unregulated* field like dog training and animal behavior, it's easy to get lost trying to find a truly knowledgeable professional. Please never hesitate to ask questions to determine if we are right for you.

*There is no industry-wide standard for dog training and behavior professionals. Anyone can decide to call themselves a trainer and take your money for it. This is a dangerous practice and can result in harmful consequences for you and your pets. Please be careful when seeking a professional.

Crystal works with a method I agree with! Love and teaching. Not fear. I want a loving relationship with our dog who wants to do things for us. Not a dog that does things out of fear.

​Stellar Pets has taught us not only how to train our dogs, but how to communicate with them. This is all done in a way that is easy to understand and fun for both humans and pets alike. We've seen amazing progress both in our dogs' behavior and in our relationship with our dogs. These classes teach skills that can easily be applied to a lifetime of pet ownership and that's invaluable.

Crystal is a shining star with training. She is patient, passionate, and thorough with her job - for the humans and animals alike! I have 3 cats, who each get into their own flavor of mischief. Crystal really gets into the whys and hows of behavior, and it makes a huge difference to see things from a cat's perspective vs humans. (IE, your animal isn't being a butthead for the heck of it!). The hardest part about following her training is training ourselves...Hey, it's not just the animals that have to unlearn behaviors!)

​Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and an amazing instructor. She goes above and beyond to help her students! Our dogs have gained so many new skills and great impulse control thanks to Crystal's training. I recommend Stellar Pets to everyone!

Crystal is is such a positive person and so knowledgeable of dog behavior. She suggests such great ideas that I never would have thought of. We’re seeing real progress with our puppy.

Very impressed with the experience. Crystal was thorough, quick to recognize issues and provided very useful guidance. A write up/summary of our zoom consult has been a really good resource to keep important points on track. Absolutely recommended.

We learned so much from Crystal! We have started implementing her ideas with some success, and we are very hopeful that Cocoa’s behavior will continue to improve.

Crystal, being the first time visiting, was very patient and spot on with getting Ollie settled and helping him through his triggers of anxiety. Gave easy and doable exercises to practice between Crystal visits.

Crystal has been wonderful with my husky. He is probably one of the hardest, most stubbornness dogs to train. He isn’t quite there yet but he is making progress in only a few sessions. And my dog loves her. I also like how many different types of options for training that are available. From group to private at her place of business or she comes to your house. She can train you and your dog together or she can train your dog and then work with the family to go over what he has learned and to teach us. I love the flexibility because no two dogs or families are alike. Give her a try!!
