Shades Of Blu Dog Training INC

Felicia is one of the most humble and caring dog trainer out there. There are a lot of trainers who will tell you want you want to hear instead of what you need to hear. Felicia is one of the only trainers who tells you what you need to hear in order to help you and your dog live your best life. She continually is looking for new ways to improve herself and her training methods. At the end of the day she really cares about helping you and your dog be successful. I would recommend getting in contact only if you are willing to put in the work, and are open to the recommendations she gives. If not, I would go waste your money on another trainer who will tell you exactly what you want to hear which in reality can be a huge disservice to your dog. She taught me what it truly means to love your dog and that is loving them by leading them. My dog was a craigslist puppy and she has a lot of issues. But with Felicia's guidance and my hard work poppy is making great strides to be the dog we both know she can be. I will never go to another trainer because we are apart of the Blu crew forever.

We sent our English Cream Golden Retriever puppy to Shades of Blu Inc Board and Train…WE called it “Paw Camp”. Bella had some behavioral issues prior to training…nothing bad…she is a puppy……she came home and she has done a 180! Felicia and her trainers were amazing and we always suggest Shades of Blu when people ask. Bella is doing GREAT! Thank You Shades of Blu for your attention to our needs and the great care given to Our Baby…Bella!

I am the owner of a dog training company in Northern Virginia and met Felicia through the dog training world where we quickly became best friends as she brought me into her rescue to foster dogs. Felicia runs one of the greatest training programs that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. She is diligent in the dog's care and well-being, experienced in dog behavior and body language, and keeps immaculate training environments for her dogs. We have spent countless hours discussing the newest training methods, equipment, and traveled across the country attending seminars together to further our education and always continue to better ourselves for the sake of the dogs. She is a brilliant trainer that can quickly evaluate your dog and give you her honest opinion while maintaining a sense of empathy that allows you to understand that it is a judgement-free zone. She will help you come up with a game plan to tackle whatever problems you are having with your dog. Her genuine and kind personality outside of the dog training world shows through in every single session she has. She bends over backwards to provide the best training to every single dog and owner that comes into her care and if you are ever so lucky to have the opportunity to work with her, you should take it. Felicia is truly an incredible trainer and I would recommend her to anyone with a dog!
