Dog Centered

We adopted a young rescue pup that didn’t have a lot of socialization in his early months, resulting in some stranger danger and overall fearfulness of new things. We did six walk-and-train sessions with Shelby and the difference was night and day! Our pup went from being too nervous to enjoy walks, to loving them! Shelby’s positive-based training methods were exactly what he needed to make positive associations with the outside world. We can now walk by others with zero reactions and more importantly, our pup is more relaxed and confident! She also taught me a lot, which has helped to curb some of his unwanted behaviours at home, including reacting to people he doesn’t know in the house, and barking at noises in the yard. Shelby always had my dogs best interests in mind with her training, which was not only effective, but is also helping me build a strong relationship with my pup. I cannot recommend her enough.

Shelby is wonderful to work with and has tremendous experience and knowledge, which she shares at every lesson. She has given us and our new pup a great start as we build our skills and relationship. Not to mention, she is one of our pup’s favourite people in the whole world! I highly recommend Shelby for dog-centered, and relationship-focused training.

Thank you so much Shelby for taking such great care of Phoebe & Stella. I’ve noticed a big change in Stella’s confidence and I 100% can contribute that to your one on one dog training/ walking sessions with them.
