FirstBarkI have a reactive rescue Pitty who became aggressive towards certain dogs. The rescue introduced me to Sabrina from Shelby Semel Dog Training. Sabrina is fantastic, kind, patient, and focused on improving human and dog quality throughout the training process. I will definitely contact Sabrina when future needs arise.

Doug has worked with me and my Brussels Griffon puppy, Monk, since he was five months old. His approach is clear and patient, and he has helped me truly understand my dog. The follow-up notes after each session are detailed and incredibly useful, and I regularly refer back to them between sessions. We’ve made real progress with barking, leash skills, and independence. Highly recommend.
they are a bunch of hucksters that tell you one price to get you in the door and then quadruple the number once it comes time to pay. they’re also snobs who will refuse to pick up the phone or talk to you as a client face to face
I had a great experience with Doug! He was very informative and patient with my many questions since I’m a relatively new dog owner. He was also very thorough and gave me resources / exercises that are manageable. Would definitely recommend him as a trainer!!

We’ve had such a great experience working with Doug! We started training with him to address Banjo’s resource guarding, and we noticed a significant change in Banjo within just the first week. One of the biggest things Doug helped us realize was that Banjo needed more enrichment in his daily routine. Since making those changes and working on the training Doug recommended, Banjo is noticeably happier and more engaged. It’s been so rewarding to see such a positive change in him. We’re continuing to work with Doug on Banjo’s resource guarding and separation anxiety, and we’re so happy with the progress we’ve already made. Doug is incredibly knowledgeable and really takes the time to understand the individual dog and what they need. We’re so grateful for his guidance and would absolutely recommend him!
