A private park, named for my mom

Dee Dog Park is a private, members-only dog park named in memory of my mother, Diana "Dee" Stark. The location is shared with members and class participants.

Private training in town

Historic downtown crowds, train noise and horse trails are part of life here. Private sessions at your home or out in town help your dog stay calm around all of it.

How it works

I'm Tommy Stark, The Dog Director: a canine behaviorist and trainer with 20+ years and roughly 20,000 dogs trained. My style is balanced and relationship-based, and about 90% of the work is coaching you, so your dog listens to you after I leave.

Register once. Each Saturday the Weekly Woof goes out; reply with your availability by Sunday 6pm and you'll get a calendar invite that evening. How scheduling works →
