Shannon Lake dog training

I have had Sunny since 2012. He is an amazing animal and friend. And Ruth Yeulett is an amazing trainer! She has decades of experience with police, military, and thousands of dogs. She speaks" fluent dog

Although it seems that Ruth has a lot of experience training dogs, her methods didn’t work for our 5 month old labradoodle. Our main concern was his separation distress and teaching him to walk on a leash. We had a 2 hour session, 1.5 of which were spent sitting in a chair talking. I was hoping for a little more hands on work. The only real training we did was pulling my dog by the collar down to the ground to get him to lay down, and dragging him by a choke collar around her yard until he squealed. I was in tears by the end of the lesson. Her advice for the separation anxiety was to put him on drugs and/or lock him in his crate and let him howl. Sorry, but that’s not going to work for us since we have upstairs neighbours. I am sure she would be helpful for brand new puppies with no training or troubled dogs that need a bootcamp style training. Not recommended for people that just want to finesse their dogs good behaviour or if you’re looking to cure separation anxiety.

Ruth is an excellent trainer. Her expertise is apparent. Gave us great tools for our puppy that worked right away! Great price too! Thank you so much, Ruth!

We have had Bear our all black GSD for 10 Awesome years now. He is the best dog I have ever had. Loyal smart and well behaved. We were a validated team in wilderness air scent for Search and Rescue for 4 years he is now retired. Very good prey drive, very good nose, he was also trained in HRD. Loved to tug, find people and articles. We still go out and train he still loves having a job to do, Thank you Ruth for this amazing dog.Sandy Gammie
