Shepherds K9 Services

I’ve worked with several other dog trainers in the past and Stephanie is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. I did a board and train with her for my Golden Retriever puppy who is a bit of a goof and afraid of his own shadow. I was completely stunned when I picked him up after his training was completed. His basic puppy training was an excellent foundation for him to become a service dog for me. He is so well behaved and I can take him anywhere. People always say what a well behaved dog he is. Not only is Stephanie an excellent trainer, she is kind and compassionate and so easy to work with. Her entire staff is professional and courteous.The facility itself is beautiful and immaculate. I have referred others to her because she is THAT good.

I took my super-sweet natured (but highly prey-driven) Bernese Mountain puppy to Stephanie because I couldn't get her to stop chasing our neighbor's chickens! Stephanie worked a true miracle with her! She is just as joyful and loving as ever, but has a much MUCH more reliable recall now, which has made a huge difference in our quality of life. We can enjoy off-leash walks and I don't worry about her pulling a disappearing act! Stephanie is the best! It was money well spent, for sure!

I am beyond happy with my dog Rex's training! This was his first time being away from me and I was a bit nervous about leaving him, but after the evaluation and meeting Stephanie I knew he was in good hands. She explained everything that was going to happen during his training period and made sure to answer all questions. Stephanie also sent me updates of Rex during training, if that was photos or just a simple text that he was doing good. I am very impressed with how Rex walks on and off the leash now with no pulling, having manners, and listens.
