Shades of Blu Dog Training changed my life. Felicia is an amazing trainer. She not only listened to my concerns and goals I had for my dog Kimber, but observed Kimber to better understand what I couldn’t. Felicia made it easy for me to understand - we would work on confidence building and communication, and the rest would follow. And it did. She is realistic about ‘homework’ between training sessions and makes it easy to keep stepping towards goals with Kimber. As a rescue, Kimber’s biggest thing was confidence building and we have come miles from where we were all thanks to Felicia. When we go out Kimber gets complimented all the time on how well behaved she is. She has blossomed into a dog that takes on new challenges in stride. Taking her places isn’t a chore, it’s a fun adventure. I don’t take her on walks, we walk together. I have enjoyed being a dog owner so much more having the knowledge and tools I have now from Felicia. I used to be such a frustrated dog parent with my dog’s behavior, and if you are too please please please give you and your dog the gift that is Felicia.

Training with Felicia has changed the WHOLE dynamic of my home! I have two Shih Tzu mixes and my oldest, Troy was a rescue that has a lot of behavioral issues including severe fear aggression. I had taken him to a board and train before and was told he was the most aggressive dog this trainer has seen and that it’s likely that he was untrainable and gave advice to euthanize or not have kids as it would be dangerous. This broke my heart. I was ready to just give up the rest of my life dreams. I am a dog groomer and we met from one or both of us finding each other on Instagram. And through her stories and posts, I saw that she worked with dogs similar to Troy! So I thought I’d give it a try. She didn’t guarantee that she could help but she gave him a chance and we have seen great results! We ended up making a choice to get a COVID puppy and he is SO WELL BEHAVED! I bring him to work and my coworkers compliment him saying they have never seen a puppy be so calm and collected! She worked with him from 10 weeks old and he is 9 months old now and people that meet him can hardly believe it. I will continue to seek guidance from Shades of Blu I have a board and train coming up and I am booking another set of private training for them. I never thought I would have such great communication with my dogs it’s such a gift she has given me. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I am SO thankful that we found Felicia. My husband and I are lucky enough to have adopted a very sweet dog, but he has so much energy and loves to jump on people. Thanks to Felicia, she has helped us to learn how to manage his energy. We’d be so lost without her! Highly recommend!

Felicia has done an incredible job with my dog - 1 on 1 private traning, and also provides group classes and board & train. She is extremely accommodating with time, will come to your home, and is very affordable for the quality of training! Highly recommend!!!

Felicia Valenti trained our dog, Harley, we adopted from her rescue, Wolfgang rehab & rescue. Harley had been returned multiple times while in public shelters and was even on the Euth List. We understand this dog had behavioral problems, but Felecia did SUCH a great job with her that Harley is a fantastic member of our pack now! We cannot imagine our lives without her. Felicia has continued to provide training while Harley adjusts to our home and she literally gives the best advice and training tips. Thank you Felicia for rescuing Harley (aka Nebula) and introducing us to her! We look forward to continue our training with Felecia, since it is going so well. If you want results, contact Felicia.
