Shannen helped me work through my rescue Dobermans leash reactivity back in 2022, and I then called her up again to help me with my new rescue Lab puppy this past year. She is nothing but a joy to work with, and my family always gets excited to see her. My kids call it the "Puppy Professor Time" haha! Very knowledgeable and fun More...
What do you love most about your job?
I have an extensive history working with animals from a young age. I began as a Veterinarian Assistant, then became a Groomer while attending Vet Tech school, then once finished with my Veterinary Technology Degree, I casually stumbled upon an opportunity to apprentice as a dog training assistant, and immediately fell in love. Dog training felt so natural and rewarding for me, and I quickly decided to change my whole career path to follow the animal behavior path, and I wouldn't change a thing!
What inspired you to start your own business?
After 5 years in the private training business, I naturally developed a strong clientele in the San Diego and Orange County area via referrals and volunteer work, and this gave me the confidence to go fully independent and create my own brand and community.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have an extensive background not only working with pets, but working with pet owners. Customer success and client relationships is something I value to the fullest and I take great pride in owners like you trusting me in your training journey.
