Seminar Testimonials

“Great information and knowledge!”

- Margaret P.

“Very helpful! I do a lot of dog sitting so these classes are wonderful to understand and help my doggy pals.“

- Deena G.

"Shannon has so much experience with animals that she could answer our questions and would tell us personal experiences, which helped me feel confident in her knowledge and skill"

- Rachel M.

"I’m so happy we found Shannon! We spent years trying to curb our dog’s fearful aggression after he got hurt at the vet. But, no matter what we did, he just kept getting worse. Then I attended Shannon’s Reactive Dog Class. She uses dog psychology research and science to explain how dogs react with “fight, flight, or freeze,” when they’re afraid, just like people do.

She then helps you identify what’s scaring your dog and how to overcome his fears. My dog is better already and I’m so relieved! My only regret is that we didn’t find Shannon years ago."

- Vondie L.
