Wags And Wisdom Dog Training

Shane trained my girl, Violet. He did a remarkable job. She is now my service dog and behaves well Anywhere we go, even to Hershey Bears games and concerts. Etc! (It is loud and busy but thanks to Shane she is well adjusted and calm) training with them is well Worth it. He took good care of my girl while she was with him. It was very obvious that she was comfortable there. This is a great place to send Your dog for training!

This is a long review- but it’s most deserving! I have always owned dogs and when it comes to the standard puppy training I like to think I know what to do :) Kaida is my first German Shepherd- super lovable, extremely smart, easy to train in so many of the basics, but I was experiencing something I had never seen before, reactivity to other dogs and kids and situations while we were outside. On the mild side it was ruffling of her hair, on the extreme it was barking and jumping and just chaos to the point where going outside was just super stressful for her and I. Not to mention because of this trying to teach her to walk on a leash was basically non-existent. I want to highlight, she is not aggressive in any way, she was just completely emotionally unsure of what to do and I was completely unsure of how to help her and YouTube videos were not helping lol!! Enter Shane and his amazing ability to do what he does! Three weeks of board and train and Kaida is literally transformed. Are we both 100% fixed - and I say we because this is a learning and evolving process for both her and I, not yet, but I say we are 90% there which is more than I ever imagined was possible in such a short time frame. Her and I are back outside, going on walks, being around others, there is no pulling, she is walking beside me, no barking, no jumping, controlled emotional reactions. Even my dog walker was texting me on their first walk together after Kaida got back commenting on how so surprised she was on how super easy she is to walk now. Oh and she has come back with a few more tricks and manners up her sleeve which of course I am showing off to friends and family as well. I did my research before I went with Shane and I definitely made the right decision! 1000% would do it again and would recommend him to anyone who is struggling with a dog at home and just needs that extra help.

Shane is an amazing trainer! He has a true gift working with dogs! I've had German Shepherds my whole life and love the breed. My current Shepherd, Schatzi, came to me as an 9 week old pup and became pretty bull headed as he grew older. Our biggest challenge was coming when called (recall). As a result, he had to drag a long leash when we were outside, so I could catch him when it was time to come in. This hindered where we could go and robbed us of so much fun. After doing some research, I reached out to Shane. He was so helpful and reassuring over the phone, when I explained what Schatzi and I were struggling with. I decided to move forward with the "board and train" option and it was the best decision I ever made! Shane sent me videos and texts daily, to share Schatzi's progress. At the end of the training period, Shane worked with me and Schatzi together, and I was able to apply what I learned once we got home. Schatzi is now leash free, responds beautifully when called and is able to enjoy so much more fun and freedom, thanks to Shane! I do some reinforcement training at home 1-2 days a month, and Schatzi does a wonderful job. Before reaching out to Shane, I was frustrated and tried everything, even spending $200/ week for doggie daycare, so Schatzi could run in a fenced area. Shane has made such a huge difference in our lives! We are forever thankful to the new world full of fun and freedom he's given us! I've included a picture of Schatzi practicing his 'place' command. This never would've been possible without Shane. If you frustrated with you dog or are in need of guidance, please reach out to Shane. He is worth every penny and what you dream for your dog will become a reality!! Schatzi and I live it every day! Shane-you're the BEST!
