Shelley Smith Dog Training Services

Excellent trainer. She is very kind and helpful. She really helped me to bring my rescue dog out of its shell and to walk better beside me on the leashis a good skill for them to learn for safety reasons. She teaches the importance of using collars and devices that don’t hurt the dog. Her technique uses correction that are safe and pain free and uses treats as rewards and lots of praise and it makes it a fun experience for the dog and owner. If you are struggling in an area she will take the time to work with you one on one to get things right and provides written explanations in her course and is always happy to answer email or phone questions. I highly recommend this excellent trainer.

Shelley really knows what she's doing and does well with all dogs (and their owners) in a group setting. She has a good/dry sense of humour which helps lighten the mood and make the lessons enjoyable. She has been very helpful in giving some good tips and tricks for helping train my monster golden doodle Yoda (65 lbs) who she's nicknamed Clifford lol

We had a great session with Shelly for our 4 month old German Shepherd. I feel like we walked away from our meeting with a lot of valuable knowledge and insight on training our dog properly. She also responds to our questions over text/email and puts us at ease when we are unsure of anything related to puppy training. We would definitely recommend her!
