Shelley and her trainers are just the right balance of expert knowledge and easy-going, non-shaming, understanding of the pets and their owners! Every day, every walk, every dinner, we thank our lucky stars that we joined Shelley‘s classes.

Love this place! The prices are great and the trainer is amazing. It's very close to the same Adams brewery. We take our dog there to chill out a bit before class

I’ve been working with Shelley since my dog was only a lil nugget and I cannot recommend her enough. She’s patient and compassionate (for doggo and owner alike), and her fear-free approach to building trust is consistently tailored to each dog’s unique needs and quirks. I’m super grateful to have heard about Shelley so soon after getting my pup – she’s helped us navigate so many hurdles from drilling simple commands to managing more complex behaviors and general anxiety. I'd give 6 stars if I could!
Best dog training class. I've had dogs my whole life and always bring them to training for socialization. Shelley is the best.

Shelley is absolutely the person you want to help you and your dog learn to live with each other. We worked with Shelley shortly after adopting our first dog and her help helped us solve almost every 1st time dog companion challenge we were experiencing. This is someone with genuine expertise who can help you figure out what your dog’s behavior means and everything you need to know to be a smart, sensitive pet companion. Besides that, Shelley is super fun to work with and just a genuinely great person who truly loves animals. I absolutely encourage you to book Shelley for 1:1 or group training and classes.
