Absolutely Amazing Dog Trainer! I can’t say enough good things about DeAnna ! From the moment we started working together, they showed true professionalism, patience, and a deep understanding of dog behavior. My dog Cash went from anxious and unruly to confident, obedient, and much more manageable—thanks to their clear, consistent training methods and positive reinforcement techniques. She took the time to not only train my dog but also educate me, which made a huge difference. Every session was hands-on, encouraging, and tailored to our specific needs. You can tell they genuinely care about both dogs and their owners. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and passionate trainer who delivers real results, look no further. Highly recommend! ~ Latosha B
After my Yorkie passed I wanted to get another rescue dog. I got this cute little dog that the rescue knew very little about. The day I went to pick him up the woman put him in my lap and said they had to put a muzzle on him when he was taken to the vet. Once we got him home we discovered he had very bad fear agreasing and he tried to attack anyone who came close to me or him. We could not get a collar on him or put a Leash on him without him acting out aggressively. After 2 sessions with Deanna we are able to leash him, take him for walks. He is no longer aggressive towards strangers or my husband. He sits and stays with our commands. Deanna has given us the tools to help our dog Percy become the fun, lovable pup we knew he could be. Deanna is the Caesar Milan of Denver! ~ Rebecca W
I hired DeAnna at 5 Star Dog Training for my dog's personal trainer She does it all and does it very well: Behavior, obedience, therapy, agility, even aggression for aggressive dogs. She also offers free nutritional advise for dogs of all ages and even failing and old dogs and cats included. Anytime I had a question or needed extra training, DeAnna immediately was available. I have to say, even my dog loves her like a family member and can't contain himself when he sees her. She definitely is a pro and knows what she is doing. She even helped my dog with his eye issues and gave us natural remedies to try. She babysat my dog for me and he had so much fun, that now DeAnna will be our #1 dog sitter. He even loved playing with her beautiful cats. ~ priya k
