Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Looking for training for our new 10 month old Lab/stafford/dane. Are there different packages/costs & what does that look like?
We did board and train for our boxer puppy at 6.5 months old. She was there for 30 days. All the staff there (that I personally interacted with) was absolutely fabulous. Shannon Walker works magic with dogs. If we get any other dog, it's definitely going there for training. Call them for prices, it may have changed since we paid our bill.

The transformation she did with my dog was amazing!! Now we know it’ll be something that we can continue with the rest of his life making us a very happy pack family. My puppy is six months old and she transformed him, and taught me as well. We trusted the process and he took a little long then the planned but worth it in the end. We are extremely impressed and I will only go to her for training any other dogs we get. Thank you!!!! You truly blessed our family from Me to the kids to our furry baby! Rocky!!
I brought my 8 month old Belgian Malinois to see if Shannon could help me with his pulling on his leash. 2o minutes in and wow he's a new dog. She has great respect towards animals and how to work with. I would definitely suggest giving them a call if you have any canine questions.
