About Star Puppy Academy
Expert private puppy training in Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
Our Story
Star Puppy Academy LLC was founded with one simple belief: every puppy deserves a great start. We specialize in private, in-home training that meets you and your pup where you are — literally.
Our approach is unique: the trainer works directly with your puppy, teaching them communication skills — how to understand cues, build focus, and respond reliably. Between sessions, you practice those same skills at home, reinforcing what your pup has learned and strengthening your bond. It's a true team effort that gets results faster and makes the whole experience more enjoyable for everyone.
Whether you just brought home your first puppy or you're an experienced dog owner looking for expert guidance, we're here to help you build a strong, lasting bond with your furry family member.
