HELLO THERE!
My name is Cillian and I am the Head Trainer at Five Star Dog Training & proud pet parent to three lovely rescue dogs, Hurley, Prince & Galavant.
As an Animal Welfare Officer in Ireland of many years, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by dogs who have not received proper training or early socialisation. This experience has profoundly shaped my passion for working with dogs. I am committed to helping dogs stay out of shelters by providing them and their humans with the training and socialisation skills they need right from the start.
So whether you're a seasoned dog owner looking to refine your pet's skills or a first-time pet parent in need of guidance, I am here to help you every step of the way.

Our training methods are rooted in the latest scientific research on dog behaviour, ensuring that you and your furry friend receive the best advice, care and guidance.
We don’t rely on outdated or harsh punishments, but instead, we focus on building behaviour and strengthening your relationship with your dog through rewards, play & practice. At Five Star Dog Training every dog we train is treated with the utmost respect and care, as if they were our own.
