Testimonials
“I am super happy to have discovered Miss Shelly. I will be referring all of my bernedoodle puppy families, looking for a trainer to her. She has trained 2 of my puppies, one as a Therapy dog and another as a TBI service dog. I’m amazed at all that she has taught them! And love seeing all of their potential put to practice! Shelly is great at communicating and very fair with her pricing! I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust less than an hour from home to train my puppies!”
