Testimonials
Best money we ever spent! Our Duke was completely transformed in 3 weeks time. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for a dog to change that much in such a short time. Martin took the time to train us so we could continue reinforcing the training regime. A year has passed since this training and he has not regressed at all. Duke is so much happier as he can be with us all the time now that he so well behaved!

Absolutely brilliant! We took our 6 month old pup to Martin and Shelly and their training has led to nothing short of a transformation! They leave you with clear advice and instructions on how to continue your dog’s progress beyond the initial training. And they are always there to support you with any questions and queries. I could not recommend Shelmar highly enough.

Recently took my 7 month Cane corso for some obedience training and WOW! They had my puppy for three weeks and it’s crazy what he knows now consistently. The hand on when I picked him up was great and the space he had to run and play was amazing as well. Very professional and will for sure take him for more training. Got weekly updates and they took very good care of him and kept him on his diet. Great people and great business!
