Shannon is a dream to work with. She understands how to train adults to lead their dogs and gives us the confidence necessary to work with our dogs and create healthy habits.Her sense of humor doesn’t hurt either!

Incredible experience working with Shannon and the board and train program. Our dog was fearful, reactive and shut down when we tired to correct behaviors. We have no confidence in the dog or ourselves. Shannon worked with our dog and us as owners. After four weeks, we got a different dog back. Confident in both our dog and ourselves, we can now hike off leash and spot/handle potential reactive situations. I would recommend her to anyone that has a dog with behavioral issues.

Shannon is the BEST! She worked with our Great Pyrenees, Bodie, before the arrival of our little one, and we couldn’t have asked for a more understanding, fun, and effective trainer. The stay-and-train program and one-on-one sessions were invaluable, and we’ve seen such a positive difference in Bodie. Shannon is amazing, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. We can’t recommend her enough!
I have known Shannon since her K9 officer days. You will not meet a more hard working and knowlegeable woman. Her passion for training and dedication is top notch!

Absolutely love Shannon! She is amazing with our dutchie and she loves her. She knows her temperament and works with her to be her best self and definitely makes sit happen 😊 Shannon has always answered any questions I had and worked with me to make sure neptune's needs are fulfilled. She is always my go too if I have to go on a trip or even for a play date. Neptune adores her, and we've struggled sometimes, and shannon has always helped us to make sure we get back on track.
