​Shelby is passionate about humane dog training and providing the best care for animals in an unregulated industry. She is committed to ongoing education and keeping up to date with the latest behaviour science and modern training practices.

“We loved working with Shelby, she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to understand what you and your dog needs. Shelby instantly became our puppies favourite person and her style of training was perfect for him. The amount of resources Shelby provides and her patience with us as we asked questions and learned along the way was unmatched and really reassuring. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to anyone looking for help when training their dog.
