We tried 4 different training styles with no results. After 4 weeks of training camp with Shawn, we have seen a tremendous change. We keep seeing more results each week since camp and look forward to Shawn teaching us more when he comes for a weekly visit. This investment has been well worth it. Thank you, Shawn!

I do not usually post on Yelp, but I am compelled to respond to Qien F. I am not sure what her…read moreexpectation was to have her dog trained "when her dog was already good enough". I have worked with Shawn for nine years now. My dog Gabby was tied to a tree as a puppy and she was 10 months when I got her. She was not easy to manage. She pulled when walking her on the leash, and even more so when other dogs were around. Even though I had had dogs before her, and I thought I knew dogs, she was so difficult, I was ready to give up. She was stubborn and wanted to be constantly in charge. Shawn taught me that discipline is not about teaching your dog to sit or lie down (that was easy for her), but about gaining her trust and having the authority to be in charge. He spent a lot of time teaching me. Yes, teaching me...... The problem was that I was lenient and Gabby did not trust me. He taught me how to keep my distance, gain respect, be consistent, how to gain her attention, and most importantly - how to be in charge. Gabby still goes to stay with Shawn when I travel and I am always happy to pick her up. Whenever I do, she is calm and well behaved. I tend to lose that calmness she gains by staying with him over time, so I am glad to leave her with Shawn for a refresher again and again. Gabby and I have great time together now - to think I was so frustrated I was going to give her up 9 years ago! Thank you Shawn. As a final note, I was a vet in my past life. Oral papillomas (or oral warts) in dogs are contacted frequently in puppies less than 2 years. It has more to do with age (the immune system is not fully mature) than with stressful environment. The lesions go away with time.

Thank you - highly recommended, and will use again!

As you can imagine, that doesn't always work well with little kids or more fragile people. We knew we needed help with her over-excitement for basically anyone that breathes! That's when we found Bill, and from the very first meeting, we knew he was exactly who we needed. He came to our home, and immediately put us at ease. We loved Bill right away, and honestly enjoyed every session with him. He quickly became more than just our trainer--he became someone my husband, my boys, and I all looked forward to seeing... and River absolutely adored him too! Every time Bill left after working his magic, we wished he could just move in. His knowledge, patience, and genuine love for dogs is beyond impressive. We are so lucky to have found him and are incredibly grateful for everything he taught us. We can't recommend Bill enough!
