FirstBarkI’m on my third dog here over 10 years and I won’t go any where else as long as I live. There’s nothing like a well behaved dog. Not that any of my dogs needed a good tail kicking but the manners and desire to receive commands and be engaged when they’ve come back is amazing.

Absolutely brilliant! We took our 6 month old pup to Martin and Shelly and their training has led to nothing short of a transformation! They leave you with clear advice and instructions on how to continue your dog's progress beyond the initial training. And they are always there to support you with any questions and queries. I could not recommend Shelmar highly enough.
We recently had our pup trained with Martin Bell and we are very impressed. The facility was clean and very well organized. Martin spent about an hour with my family going over the routine and showed us exactly what to do at home to reinforce the good behavior. I highly recommend this place! Thank you. We have a calmer and more obedient puppy thanks to you guys!

Martin and Shelly are absolutely amazing dog trainers! We did the 3 week puppy training program and our dog was a completely different dog afterwards! I have gotten so many compliments on his behavior and how well trained he is. In addition to the awesome training that he received while he was there, Martin is always available for a follow up lesson or an email to try to troubleshoot any problems that develop afterwards, which has been an amazing support. You can tell that Martin and Shelly absolutely love dogs and their whole hearts go into training and that they will treat your dog like their own. I highly recommend them for any dog training needs!
