About
Hi! I’m Stella, a private dog trainer in the San Francisco Bay Area. I use a force-free, science-backed positive reinforcement approach to educate pet parents on how to train their own dogs and overcome behavior challenges. My goal is to provide clients with the proper tools to have a stress-free and trusting relationship with their pets.
I volunteer at the SFSPCA, where I assist with dogs that have behavioral issues. Additionally, I am a proud parent of a 🐶 rescue dog Moka and a trained 🦜parrot Matcha. Thank you for considering me as your dog trainer!

Questions about Dog training?
What do training sessions look like? Should you book an online or offline session? How many sessions are needed?
Pintar Dog Training uses a reward-based method of dog training that is based on science and doesn’t involve any force. We don’t approve of or suggest using tools that harm dogs like e-collars, shock or bark collars, or correction collars. We don’t use any punishment or correction methods. We take the mental health of both dog owners and their dogs very seriously. We support and stand with the LGBTQA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent folks. Learn more on the About page.
I offer private training sessions in your home, as well as day training (without the pet parent present), in-house boarding, doggy daycare and hiking adventures, and online consultations. Learn more on the Services page.
