Shane is amazing! I sent my 1 year old Rottweiler Hank to him for a 3 week board and train and I am beyond pleased with the results! Shane not only offers the training, but provides the tools and tips to ensure the training goes beyond the 3 weeks. Hank and I would recommend Shane to anyone looking to positively impact their dog’s life!

When a friend was no longer able to care for her dog, she asked if we would take him. We agreed but knew we had to get training for him so that my husband (a stroke survivor with gait issues) could walk him without getting knocked over. From our first conversation with Shane it was easy to see that he would be the perfect fit to work with Hio. We picked the 4-week board and train. Shane kept in touch daily with photos and videos. It was amazing to watch Hio go from being a sometimes good boy to an overall great well-behaved dog. He went on field trips to practice the new skills he was learning and even had loads of fun meeting new friends and realizing that dropping the ball meant he could chase it again! When Hio came home, Shane spent time teaching us how to use Hio’s new skills in real life situations. If we ever decide to add another dog to the family, our first call will be to Shane!
We first sent our puppy to Shane for a 6 week board and train when she was 5 months old. It was a great experience and she learned a ton. Most of all she became socialized to new people, new dogs, and new experiences. I highly recommend and we continue to use Shane for occasional touch up visits.

Shane recently worked with my Boxer puppy Opie this past summer. Anyone who owns a young boxer knows how crazy they can be. Opie returned to our home after 3 weeks and the change was clearly evident. He is still a fun loving crazy boxer who now weighs nearly 90 lbs and is as strong as a mule but he is now well behaved and obedient. Shane has met with me and Opie on a few one to one sessions for refreshers and to give me some additional pointers. I personally feel it was worth every penny I spent and would highly recommend Shane to anyone who needs a bit of help with their Canine companion.
