Testimonials
Shannon helped us train our reactive Chihuahua mix, Dobby, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her help!! Dobby is so much more confident and she really helped us understand where his reactivity was coming from.
– Shannon
Our girls have come so far with their training. Our red heeler is about 7 months old and we have been given great lessons on how to take care of the puppiness.;). Our other sweet girl Sunny Hunny struggled with severe anxiety naturally and from a bad boarding situation. Shannon has really helped her overcome a lot. So grateful!!!
We will always be using wild paws for boarding and training in the future!!! We highly recommend!!!!
– Client
Shannon has been a great trainer to my dog Noel (dog reactive due to prior trainer maltreatment). She was patient and willing to explain Noel’s detailed behavioral tendencies to me. Also, I can tell that Shannon truly cared about my dog as evidenced by Noel’s positive level of comfort with her after their first session. Lastly, Shannon was awesome at managing expectations for training, no false promises/guarantees, just honesty. Highly recommended!
