CairnHeart K9 Training

Shelley is an amazing trainer and excels at tailoring her training to your dog needs. She does not have a “one sized fits all” approach but rather works with your dog and you to achieve your training goals. My dog and I have made leaps and bounds in our Nosework journey thanks to her.

All three of my dog's have taken various classes with Shelley. My chihuahua is not eager to interact with many people outside of her family and immediately took to Shelley and let her help her with some tricks lessons. My other two dogs get so excited when they see where we are going and are super excited to get into the building and start learning. I have so much fun as well. I don't feel pressured into competing with my dogs. The biggest takeaway I get from every class is to just have fun with my dog. Enjoy the dog I have in front of me right at any given moment. Shelley has brought up my confidence in training my dogs fun things and shown me that it doesn't have to be difficult to teach them new things. When I am stumped, she is there to help me problem solve.

Shelley is an amazing trainer and I recommend her highly to anyone in the area looking for classes with their dogs. She also hosts super fun and well run trials and events that always have a safe, fun, positive atmosphere full of encouragement. We love attending her trials and always keep an eye out for them and drive a decent distance for it because they're definitely worth the trek!

I've been taking nosework classes and tricks classes with Shelley for about a year, and it's been great! My dog absolutely loves it. The nosework has really helped build her confidence, and tricks class has been a great way to build our relationship. My dog has even achieved some trick dog titles! Shelley has a very positive approach to training, and the small class sizes allow for more one on one instruction. Highly recommend.

Shelley trains dogs to sniff in her K9 Nose Work class! and my dog loves it!... these courses have trained my dog Coconut to use her nose to seek out specific scents for fun or for serious competitions (in the future)... Shelley also offers Trick classes and now my pup can roll over, pray, walk with her front paws on a ball, and a lot of building steps. it's a great way to connect with your pup too...

Have done the puppy training, then based on my dog's temperament I now do the Nosework training. Instructor is very keen, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Classes are fun & not stressful. Learn a lot by observing others and doing tasks, skills. Instructor can quickly re-adjust task so your dog is successful & positive. Ppl are friendly and non-judgmental as everyone progress at different speed. Most important is a Happy dog will be keen to learn and build a positive resilience.

Our standard poodle adores Shelley . She’s patient, kind and always positive with him and us . A terrific trainer !

Shelly is fantastic, very knowledgable and skilled with the doggos ❤️It's clear my dog loves coming here for classes.

I highly recommend Shelley and CairnHeart K9 Training. She is passionate about dogs, professional and makes learning fun.
