I must mention first and foremost that before Shelley entered our lives, we lived in fear that our dog would bite anyone who walked into our home, crossed us as we took our walk, or approached him to meet him. He has nipped numerous people before; two of them being our own children. We were just about to give him back to the breeder because he was that unpredictable and that much of a threat to anyone around him. As a last resort, we decided as a family to reach out to a trainer. I contacted many. Some never replied. Others I was not comfortable dealing with. Good things come to those who wait because Shelley is who we have been waiting for. We have only met with her twice - the first time for an evaluation and the second for our dog's first training session. We are looking for the next sessions! For the first time in four years, I am confident that with lots of effort and patience on our part, Shelley can transform our dog into a well-behaved and sociable dog. Shelley gives us that confidence because I saw what she was able to do in the short amount of time that we've worked together. I cannot thank her enough for bringing new hope to my family for the rehabilitation of our dog. She goes above and beyond her call of duty and never ever makes me feel like she's in it for anything other than the welfare of our family - yes, the family and not just the dog. Shelley is the best there is. If you are looking for a trainer, this should be the only call you make.
