Kyser K9 Dog Training

Sending my dog, Brady, away for training was a big emotional leap, but Shelby made the entire experience feel safe and thoughtful from the very beginning. She took the time to explain the psychology behind Brady’s behaviors and tailored the training specifically to his breed and personality — nothing about her approach is one-size-fits-all. I felt informed, supported, and confident in my decision before training even began. Shelby engages with you the whole time by sending photos and videos. He not only was getting trained, but was having a great time. I could tell he was being treated like he was her own dog. What truly sets Shelby apart is that her care doesn’t end once training is complete. She continues to check in, make herself available for questions, and build a genuine sense of co

A friend of ours referred us to Kyser training and Shelby when we were having difficulties with our 10 month old Golden Retriever. Toot is a good boy but when faced with a stimulus would not listen, no matter the amount of physical energy we tried to help him work through, you could see his brain was not being exercised, was reactive on leash with other dogs, and felt we didn’t have a way of communicating properly with him. We meet Shelby and signed up for the 14 day board and training program. During this time we were out of the country and Shelby was beyond amazing with communicating with us and sending us daily updates with videos of how Toot was progressing and enjoying his time. On picking him up, Shelby spent so much time reviewing the details of his training and ensuring we understo

I cannot say enough good things about this dog training business. Shelby quite literally improved my dog’s behavior in ONE DAY, I was blown away. The knowledge, patience, and confidence she brings to training is unmatched, and you can tell she truly cares about both the dogs and the owners. Shelby is one of the hardest working women I know, and it shows in every aspect of her work. She and her wife Chiara built this business completely from the ground up, and the amount of time, effort, and heart they’ve poured into it is incredible. Chiara handles all the backend, and together they are a true power couple. They complement each other perfectly and run an extremely professional, successful operation. It’s clear why this business is thriving. Their dedication, consistency, and passion set

We put our 5 year old Rottweiler in the 10 Day board + train, and his results are amazing! All of our concerns were addressed. Our dog used to pull while on leash and get easily distracted or reactive to his surroundings. Now, he walks right next to us, knows his commands, and has shown amazing improvement in obedience. We were out of town during his board + training, and Shelby sent us regular updates, photos and videos of our pup, which we loved! We are so excited to bring our pup to the group trainings Shelby offers to her trained dogs throughout the Tampa area - another amazing service Kyser offers! Shelby’s passion and skill for dog training is evident, and we could not have selected a better trainer. She made us feel comfortable through the entire process, and made sure we understo

We saw real progress and felt so supported throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and incredible with communication - Shelby is your girl.
