Shawn came highly recommended to us but unfortunately we live too far away to get direct training. We did however, have the opportunity to get a consultation from Shawn on some social issues our dogs were having. Shawn was professional, kind, is extremely knowledgeable, and his techniques work.

Shawn is an incredible person and an excellent trainer! His own two dogs show the immense value that his training has, and beyond that his character and personality speak volumes about the level of care your dog will receive. Give him a shot and you will see as well!
