Hello
My name is Shannon.
I am a certified Trainer with ASCTI (American Society of Canine Trainers International) and certified with IACP (international Association of Canine Professionals) and also an AKC Evaluator for CGC and ATT testing's. and I have been training dogs for a little over 18 years off and on.
​
I work with all types of dogs from Detection, AKC, Service, Therapy, Sports and more. I am happy to help people with any and all of their needs with their furry companions.
My Story
My compassion for helping dogs came from a special rescue my family and I took in. Everyone including our veterinarian immediately told us she was too abused and there was no life in her. I was determined to help her and change the way people saw her. After 2 years of having her, you would have never guessed that she was a terrified, matted young dog that knew nothing but how to curl in a ball and hide. I started watching every VCR/DVD tape possible and then started reading books as quickly as I could find them. The knowledge I gained turned into fellowships with dog trainers, working and helping with rescued wolves, veterinary assistant positions, and last but not least, becoming a dog trainer myself.
​I worked for several companies that had a streamline mindset that was not along the same beliefs I have to this day. For example I worked with a company that believed mixed breeds were only good for house pets and obedience. I believe all dogs are capable of doing things besides laying around the house being bored with life. Not all dogs can do the exact same things but there is many things out there for even house dogs to do to help stimulate their mind and their body and help you and your dog build that unbreakable bond. I wanted to make this possible for all my clients so I started signing myself up for seminars, workshops, dog training courses, etc. to learn anything and everything I could possibly learn.
I think all dogs have the potential of doing great things and that it is us, as humans that hold them back. I love seeing them blossom into confident, happy dogs that they should have had the chance to always be.
I am always learning new things and implementing them into dog training. I am very confident in the learning and achievements I have received so far and I am determined to get much many more!!!
Our Dogs.
Our dogs is a huge asset to the company and help with soicalizing clients dogs and help demonstrate things for the client to understand. Without these furry friends that company would have a big struggle on some of the things we do.
Evo
Forever in our hearts
We lost Evo in a tragic accident when he was only 4 almost 5 years old. This accident has forever changed our lives. He was a huge piece of community, family and more.
​
He was a trained service dog for hearing alert and small amounts of mobility. He was the dog that could handle anything and help teach many dogs their boundaries. He helped make our pack what is it today, making sure everyone got along and correcting the dogs that didn't listen.
