Shepherds K9 Services

Stephanie is an incredible dog trainer! We enrolled our 14 week old Bernedoodle Leo in the in-kennel Puppy Survival program and she completely turned our little guy around. He was very mouthy at first and wouldn’t listen, but was a completely different dog when we picked him up. We were given frequent updates, pictures, and videos throughout his 3 week stay and Stephanie is impressively responsive. He knows so many commands already and he has been such a joy. We cannot tell you enough how great of an experience Stephanie has given us, and how clearly superior she is to the other trainers that we looked at. We are already planning on doing the follow up training with her and could not be happier!

First I want to share that I don’t typically write reviews. However after the experience we had with Stephanie at Shepherds K9 services I felt compelled to share our experience. From our initial consultation through our pick up of our German Shepherd puppy Josie Stephanie was professional and very good at explaining every step of the way. We have owned several German shepherds but this was the first time we sought the help of a professional and I can only say I wish I would’ve met Stephanie 25 years ago. What she accomplished in three weeks is simply amazing. We have our 88 year old mother-in-law that lives with us so we don’t have any room for a dog that is not well trained. Not only did Stephanie train our dog she taught us how to continue the training and I have to say it’s very fun fine-tuning Josie. It’s like being a proud parent showing off her skills. I could go on and on about this experience but just let me say if you have any questions please contact me I highly recommend Shepherds K9 services. You won’t find a better trainer available for any working class dogs. I can’t wait to see what we’re able to do with our Josie. Thank you Stephanie and crew, you have truly changed our lives for the better!!

Sending our puppy for training with Stephanie was hands-down the best decision we could have made! As first time owners of a working breed, we knew we needed a specialized trainer, someone who understood the breed and who could teach us the necessary skills to raise our German shepherd into a well-mannered dog. We definitely found exactly who we needed in Stephanie. When we picked Denali up from his board and train, the improvements in his behavior were already evident. We have continued his training at home with support from Stephanie, which has been invaluable. With every follow up session with her, our training skills and Denali’s behavior continue to improve. She is always willing to answer our questions or give recommendations no matter how big or small, and she always does so promptly. Her feedback is always clear and honest. Her facility is absolutely gorgeous and immaculately kept. She will board dogs that she has trained, which is a big deal for us. We know when he’s with Stephanie he will be well taken care of, that he’s with someone who understands his drive and temperament, and while he’s there she freshens up his training which is huge! Honestly, with every interaction we are reminded of what a great decision it was to choose her for his training.

Stephanie and her team are super professional and knowledgeable. Our family re-homed a shepherd and tried training him ourselves (with a young child) and were unsuccessful. It was aggravating to say the least. However, we came across Shepherds K9 Services and were blown away. Jagger was transformed into a very obedient dog, but while keeping his sweet personality. I 100% recommend taking your pup here if you are in the market for dog training. Also, the facility is extremely clean and kept up nicely. Three weeks and my dog no longer runs away and doesn’t jump.
