Why We’re Different From Other Local Trainers

At All-Star Dog Training, we don’t just train dogs. We build confident, well-mannered champions. Our experienced trainers tailor every plan to fit your dog’s unique personality, using positive, play-based techniques that make learning feel like fun.

What sets us apart isn’t just our approach to dog training. It’s the national recognition our work has earned. Led by our founder Michael and his superstar dogs Ripken and Champ, our team has stepped into the spotlight both locally and across the country. Ripken, known for his incredible career, served as the official bat dog for the Durham Bulls and Holly Springs Salamanders, and was the beloved tee retriever for NC State football. He also appeared at events with the Savannah Bananas, the Carolina Panthers, and had the honor of dropping the puck at the 2023 NHL Stadium Series.

With a long list of awards and high-profile appearances, All-Star Dog Training is proud to combine big-league experience with a whole lot of heart. Whether your dog is destined for the spotlight or simply wants to shine at home, we’re here to make training unforgettable.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I am so thankful for All Star Dog Training! We brought Sadie Mae for the 5-day course, and she is doing amazing! The trainers are fantastic, the facility is super clean, and the front desk staff is incredibly friendly. Thank y’all so much for everything! We can’t wait to see you on Tuesdays for the group class. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch dog training!
Highly recommend All Star Dog Training! We brought our two dogs there for the 2 week training and it has made such a difference. What was so impressive was that the last session was in our home so we could have them see them in their natural habitat. Super helpful! Sebastian and Megan and all the staff there are just amazing and are so good at what they do. They treat your dog like family! Can’t recommend enough!
I signed my dog up for a 2 week board-and-train and feel satisfied with the results! I can tell that he was trained efficiently during the board-and-train and the 3 follow-up lessons have been helpful for me to learn how to translate the training at home. I’m excited to take advantage of the included group classes going forward.
