Testimonials
Very happy with the results we got working with Shane. We tried other trainers and our dog Chip seems to be going backwards. He was getting very aggressive around other dogs. Felt like we couldn’t bring him anywhere. .Just took a few visits with Shane, who gave us some pretty simple homework and Chip is behaving himself and he is much better around other dogs. We are really enjoying our time with our well behaved dog that we now take everywhere with us. Thanks for your help Shane

Shane is a great trainer. I had retired from showing my previous Golden Retrievers in competition obedience, i needed a refresher in basic obedience with my new 6month old. Shane was incredible. He sensed the softness in her personality, she and I needed his expertise to get us on the correct training track, after years at the highest level in competition I had forgotten the basics in training. He was so incredibly patient with me and my girl. He is definitely the best and most knowledgeable of trainers.

Took our frenchie here as he was developing leash aggression. Best money we have spent. This was a total win and wish we would have known to bring him here as a puppy. All the dogs there were very well behaved and trained. Highly recommend.
