My golden retriever is better behaved, calmer, and mostly listens now. I wouldn’t say he’s service dog material but he’s much better than before the training. I also appreciate the affordable price and the land the dogs get to run around on are really clean and nice.
They helped a lot with our newly adopted 10 month old sheepadoodle. He's behaving much better around the house and listening to commands. They do a great job and really spend time coaching you when you go to pick your pup up. Definitely recommend, and very fairly priced.

Martin and Shelley were so helpful in their obedience training and tips for my 2 year old German Shepherd. She is the best dog at home and very loving around my family and other pups but socially she has had issues with listening, meeting new people, and her aggression. I was hesitant at first but Martin worked with my family for hours to help my dog and taught me just as much a long the way. I would recommend Shelmar Kennels to anyone looking for some extra help training their dog. It was not too late as she’s responding very well to the new rules and training. Thank you very much!!!

Emailed them last night for dog boarding in October. We picked this place because of the reviews and they do behavior training. We have a fear biter who fear bites new people. We were going to do training if they couldn't accommodate for boarding at that time. We also asked if they had recommendations for our situation if they couldn't help us out. The only response we got was a rude passive aggressive "we don't do boarding anymore. Thanks, Shelly" Apparently they're closed for business? Their website says otherwise
