Specialty Dog Training

Regardless many warnings about stubbornness of Shiba Inu, we love them due to their super-soft wonderful double coat but short hair and their cute face and curly tail. Their size is perfect (22lbs). We got our first Shiba, Happy. He is a doll, super sweet, calm and measure. So we got another one, Pino, with the confidence that it would be as easy as Happy. Oh boy, we were so wrong! Pino is not only stubborn, but possessive and insecure. Pino goes after every moving things including people, this made walking impossible. Pino barks at every little noise he hears, close or far, including barking at us when we get home. The worse is we couldn’t stop him. He was very meant to Happy who scares of him. We were so concern and worry. Our friend referred us to Graham at Speciality Dog Training. After 8 weeks in-home boot camp with Graham, Pino became a wonderful dog very structured. We walk Pino every day with loose leash, no pulling, no go left or right, he focuses on his walk by our side. He comes and sits next to us each time we call him. He can sit at one place for hours until we say he can go. He is kind to Happy too. It is like night and day! We feel so bless that Graham helps us to regain our love and happiness. Nothing is worth more than happiness in life. We really appreciate everything Graham has done to our Pino and believe that our next dog will be another Shiba and it will go directly to Graham before we take it home :)!

Braelyn is an amazing trainer. I was desperate when I reached out. I had adopted a blind puppy and I was at a loss as to how to get some behavioral issues under control, especially her barking and biting at the hands. Braelyn was so kind, and gentle while getting the message across to both my puppy and me. After just two visits, the stress level in my home was cut in half. I highly recommend Braelyn to help with your training needs.

A week ago today we got our dog back from Specialty Dog Training's 4 week boot camp. Our dog, Piper, a Belgian Malinois, was loved at home, but lacked common manners and we weren't confident enough to take her into public because of her embarrassing ill mannered behavior. Today we went to a birthday party in a park with over 100 people and over 10 dogs. Piper was the best behaved dog, the life of the party for kids and adults alike, we received numerous compliments on her behavior, and she was simply a joy to be with. I can't thank our dog trainer, Braelyn, enough. Not only did she train our dog, but she's taught us. She's helped us understand that it's not rocket science, that we can do it, and with the correct techniques we can have the dog we always wanted. Thank you, Braelyn, and Specialty Dog Training. Nate

I adopted a rescue at 2 months old. Not sure of his history, but I took him everywhere with me and did puppy school and socialized him with dogs and people as best I could. After all that, he was still very fearful of people and would growl and back away from anyone who approached him. Walks were tough because he would pull himself away from situations he didn't like and having people over to my house was a stress for me and my dog. On a recommendation I sent him to Braelyn for a two week boot camp. I can't believe what she was able to accomplish in just the two weeks!! My arm doesn't get ripped off when we go for walks and have even taken him to places like Home Depot and he and I follow the training! I am able to have people over without worry! Best money I've spent for both our quality of lives.

My wife and I took our 1 yr bull terrier Beau with many issues food aggression, dominance of us and things, terrible leash manners, and not listening at all. We thought we did everything right but he was just to hard headed. We ending choosing Specialty Dog Training to put him boot camp for a month and some at home visits now he is the perfect puppy he gets so many compliments on how his behaviors in any situation good or bad his training was a world of difference and I would recommend this for any dog. Braelyn has been perfect and awesome very helpful with any of beaus miss behaviors it's like she can talk to him and knows exactly what to do to fix it and shows great amounts of love and praise. She treats him as if he was her own dog. She expects nothing but best from him and pushes him to be better every time.
