Shelby Semel Dog Training

Shelby and her team are amazing! She’s not a “scripted” trainer like many others. Shelby will come up with a training plan specifically for that dog and it’s needs. I love that they understand not every dog learns the same way and they will come up with a training plan that works best for each dog. From basic training to behavioral issues, they are THE best! Great trainers that are in it for the dogs and dog parents best interest! They are truly working from the heart and the results are proof of that!

Shelby was great with my puppy - super knowledgeable and got my puppy trained quickly! We did puppy socialization classes on the UES with her as well which was great and my dog is super friendly and loves other dogs and kids which I think Is because of her training. She’s also easy to ask friends or family to babysit because she’s super easy and well behaved!! When my niece mentioned she was getting a puppy I knew I had To get her training with them so I reached out and they had great customer service and worked with me to get a great gift of puppy training and my niece is very happy with the results!!

Terrible customer experience and was offered no refund for not being able to attend. I paid $375 for a puppy kindergarten, but my puppy ended up not being able to make it because he was sick and didn't get clearance needed from the vet. I was told I could not get a refund because they couldn't fill my spot, AND that I couldn't use it towards a future credit/class, even though I shared the vet's note with the trainer .... Really surprising for how much the course was, to not be able to redeem it within under 6 months.

Our family has had an amazing experience with Shelby Semel Dog Training. We have taken group classes as well as private training with our trainer Victoria. Our goldendoodle Percy is quite the personality, and absolutely loves Victoria! We have used several board and train opportunities with Victoria and it's honestly been the best money we've ever spent. Percy is always excited to go off to "camp" with Victoria! Shelby is very responsive to questions and providing recommendations that suit your dogs current training ability for optimal progress. Victoria is incredibly communicative and has been so helpful getting us through Percy's first year in our home! (She started working with him at 10 weeks!) Thanks so much!
