Dog Training

I do dog training such as walking on leash, sit, lay, stay… things that you would really use. I also help with behavioral problems such as overly excited dogs or overly shy dogs. If your dog is: dog aggressive, people aggressive or even food aggressive… if your dog shies at everything or anything…if your dog jumps on people or nips at ankles…if your dog has problems that others can’t seem to help you with, call me. Maybe you just want the basics, like being able to enjoy a nice comfortable walk with your dog. I do most of my training right in your home so we can confront problems on your dogs own turf and I can then hand over the confidence and control to you. I work with all ages and breeds. I am ready when you are.

I have been dog walking since I was 9 years old and love working with dogs. If your dog is shy, aggressive or just needs to get out more, a dog walk is what they need and I’m the girl for you! I go dog walking, jogging or even roller-skating. If your dog is more laid back and only needs a mile or two or if your dog is high energy and needs 4 miles or more, up to 2hrs I’m willing to help. If this sounds like something you would like to do please let me know or if you would like to meet me first then we can set something up. I walk all ages and breeds

I had the great opportunity to work with Shell (and her mom). I called one early afternoon with an emergency. I had found a stray dog and my dog was being extremely aggressive towards him. I found Shell's number and gave her a call. Given the situation, she found a way to meet with me that afternoon. She came over and my dog got aggressive with the stray and she immediately addressed the situation with my dog. Over the course of the session, she taught me how to deal with his aggressive behavior, taught the stray how to walk on a leash, taught my dog how to walk on the treadmill, taught me how to keep my dog's attention while walking him, and told me the characteristics for great food and treats. Using the skills she taught me, the dogs were playing well within two days. There was still some possessive aggression with my dog, but it was 90% better. By the end of the second day, I could walk them together. In fact, the stray walked better then my dog and was a good example. Shell came back on Monday to follow up. By then, I found a good home for the stray (my dog and I were both sad to see him go!). We worked more on walking skills, in home behaviors, and the like. After two sessions, I had the skills I needed. It hasn't always been easy, but I have had significant progress with my dog. I also am better able to handle his aggression when I see it.

My husband and I had the opportunity to have Shell come out to help us with our GS Nittany; who is a pup from Adanti’ and Kasha. She turned 1 in February, and is a very high strung puppy. Shell was a huge help with our feeding and “walking” issues we had, also with the high energy she showed toward our older lab and Chihuahua; loves to pick at them, although, I think it’s more that she wants them to play with her and she doesn’t realize how big she is.

We really enjoy walking with her now, it’s not a stressful time as it used to be and she is very proud and loves to be walked. We are still having to work with the way she is with the other two dogs, but I’m confident we will get there with the tools given.

I was incredibly impressed with Shell’s knowledge in training, feeding, behaviors, and just the overall information she has, she had the answers to all of our questions!
