It’s always a stressful process finding a trusted dog walker and boarding. Thankfully my coworker recommended Joseph to me. I have two rescues, one is a tripod and they’re both anxious. Joseph is super thoughtful and patient with his approach with my dogs. They’ve learned to trust him over time and love their walks with him. I’ve also boarded with him and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time with him. Joseph has great communication and always sends the best updates on my pups. Highly recommend! 💖

I recently boarded my 6-month-old puppy with Joseph for two nights (three total days) after also doing several training sessions with him at home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is incredibly patient, attentive, and skilled — you can tell right away that he truly understands and cares about dogs. The training sessions we did before boarding made a huge difference, and Joseph continued reinforcing that training while she stayed with him. She came home with noticeably better leash manners, stronger obedience, and was more relaxed on walks and in new situations. While she was boarded, Joseph kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. Communication was easy, and he was completely reliable throughout. I especially appreciated how thoughtfully he introduced her to new situations, other dogs, and good manners. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring to train or board your dog, I can’t recommend Joseph highly enough.

My dog, Ollie is a small rescue who has a very hard time controlling his excitement to the point where he would become extremely reactive. He would spin, lunge, bark and choke himself trying to get to other dogs. It was a very stressful situation because my other dog started mimicking his behavior. After multiple trainers with many different approaches (that didnt necessarily work out) I found Joe on reddit. Joe worked extremely hard with me and Ollie to help teach Ollie how to stay calm. Most importantly, Joe taught me how to change my approach to handling Ollie. Ollie completed a board and train program and is now able to enjoy his walks, pass dogs, and live up to his amazing potential. Joe honestly cares about helping your dog, and will work with you to figure out the best solution for your situation. I couldn't recommend him any higher!

As a professional dog walker, I highly recommend Canine Starr for dog training and dog walking! Joe is a true pro who has helped me with a few of my own clients, and I have seen firsthand how skilled of a trainer he is. I’ve watched him work with scared, anxious, and slightly aggressive dogs, and he definitely knows what he’s doing when it comes to obedience and behavioral training. He gets excellent results. Whenever clients are in need of a trainer in Bushwick or anywhere in Brooklyn, he’s the one I recommend. Joe has a great vibe, is super knowledgeable, and has such a calm, confident demeanor with dogs which they immediately respond to. Hands down the best dog trainer in Bushwick!!!
