Shannon is an incredible resource for our island regarding dog behaviour and training. She is kind, supportive, informative and the one-on-one sessions really gave us a solid foundation and a ton of useful tools to help us train and understand our puppy. I can't recommend more Shannon and Spot On Dog Training.
— MEGHAN C.
I was nervous to start working with a trainer; I was scared that Finnegan was hopeless and I had somehow caused his reactivity. Shannon put those thoughts to bed. She works with you where you are in your journey in a safe environment. I can't recommend enough if you are struggling, at a loss, unsure where to go or what to do.
— MICHELLE C.
After our first session, I felt hopeful for the first time that we can actually succeed with dog training. I feel empowered with the tools and knowledge that Shannon provides us with. We are doing a combination of one-on-one training as well as group class, and definitely highly recommend this pathway to anyone who wants a well behaved dog.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO WANTS A WELL BEHAVED DOG.
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING & UNSURE WHAT TO DO, I CAN'T RECOMMEND SHANNON ENOUGH.
