"Great instruction! Wendy is fantastic!"

"Shannon is great! I've taken my Australian Shepherd to private lessons with Shannon and to agility classes. The experience is always outstanding. Both are knowledgeable and caring. My dog and I have both benefited by our involvement with Shannon."

"We just had our first appointment. Shannon was on time and totally prepared. Our fearful dog loved her more than he's liked anyone else since we got him. Her passiveness gained his trust and at the end of the appointment he was eating cream cheese from her hand, and he even whined when she left. She talked to us and helped us formulate a positive plan with small steps forward to help him be less fearful. It's also great to note that she will help you get accessories (we got a Thundershirt and a pheromone collar) at price + shipping, so they were lots cheaper than the pet store. Definitely recommended. We'll be going back."

"Thanks to the miraculous work of our expert trainer, Shannon Riley-Coyner, my boxer mix, Noah, and I have figured one another out and have become loyal best friends. Just as I was on the verge in the early days of giving up on my out-of-control and spun-up beasty boy, Shannon taught me how to turn all 70 pounds of him into a giant bundle of joy – all with her fun, upbeat, positive reinforcement approach, tender loving care, technical brilliance and endless encouragement. I would recommend Shannon to anyone!" 

- Lori S.

"I came to Shannon Riley-Coyner with Lena, my high energy, nervous and insecure three year old Lab/ Weimaraner mix. She accessed my dog’s temperament for agility and our training began. Shannon has a passion for working with dogs and their owners. Her motivational force-free training methods and positive reinforcements have transformed my dog. As we advanced through classes my dog gained confidence and her energy is continually harnessed into something positive. Shannon makes training fun for my dog and for me. The skills Shannon demonstrates set us up for success. Shannon Riley-Coyner is an impressive, effective and committed trainer. She encourages and motivates by making the work fun and rewarding and has helped me better enjoy and appreciate my dog." 

- Jenny K.

"Shannon has transformed our timid Border Collie puppy of 6 months into a confident and energetic agility dog of 4 years. She understands our dog's delicate psyche and shows patience and love as if Bryn were her own. Shannon seeks only the best for each dog and owner, and we highly recommend her to others."
