TESTIMONIALS
Success stories
Kim Davis
Most of my previous dogs were rescue dogs that already had their foundations. Tio is my first dog I am raising from a puppy. Shannon was so great in helping me to train him (and training me, really!). We both learned a lot in just the first few sessions. Shannon is very knowledgeable and can answer all your questions. She can meet all your doggy training needs!

We really enjoyed our training with Spot on Dog Training. Shannon, the trainer, is organized and very calm. She’s very positive and encouraging. She’s also a good communicator.
I learned as much as my dog!
I would definitely recommend Spot on Dog Training for anyone wanting to have a well behaved dog, or as a good refresher just to have some fun with your pet.

Shannon is an incredible resource for our island regarding dog behaviour and training. She was 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 couldn't recommend more Shannon and Spot On Dog Training.
