Shadyrock School For Dogs

I have put my three goldens through these training classes. We have done and will be doing both beginner and advanced classes. My dogs love going to class, they love seeing the other dogs/people and LOVE the trainer! Classes are always a blast! One of my dogs are very backwards/scared and the trainer did great with him, she knew when he was overwhelmed and gave great helpful pointers on what to do in certain situations to keep him and others safe. My other golden started classes a crazy hyper pup that wouldn’t hold a toe still for a second, jumped, and bit, 7 weeks in she is such a good, adjusted, smart girl! We just started classes with my last golden puppy and it’s going great! The trainer is a very professional, straight shooter, educated, and sweet woman. If you are looking to get you

I highly recommend Linda and Darlene. Anytime I struggled with training Linda would take the extra time with us to show me what I needed to do to fix the issues I was having. I went from a pup that wouldn’t listen to anything or anyone to working towards our Canine Good Citizen title. Linda and Darlene make training fun and I look forward to every class.

This is truly the best dog training class you can attend in our area. Linda truly has a passion for dogs and is extremely experienced. She goes above and beyond to help you learn how to succesfully train your dog to reach your personal goals. I have been attending classes with Linda for over a decade and will continue to do so because the benefits are worth it. My Great Dane, who had a lot of anxiety, now has several obedience titles and, more importantly, is well-mannered in public thanks to our work at Shady Rock. This class teaches you not just how to reach obedience ring goals but "real world" goals. We learn important commands that help your dog maneuver the real world respectfully and safely, which is really important. Above all, Linda dedicates herself to her work, really showing

I have been attending classes at Shady Rock School for Dogs for over a decade (first with our mastiff and now with our Great Dane). Linda has been a godsend for both of my XL breed dogs, teaching us how to really bring the best out of both of them. She is exceptionally knowledgable about dog training and dog psychology, helping us to really adapt training to meet the needs of our dogs. Through her encouragement, my Great Dane has overcome his anxiety and even was able to attend (and placed first) at a dog obedience show. More importantly, both of my dogs have been well-mannered and well-adapted dogs who are able to handle various situations appropriately. Linda has given me the confidence to handle my dogs safely and efficiently.When my Great Dane's collar broke on a busy street, I was ab

My husband and I have been taking our dog to Shadyrock for months now and have had nothing but a positive experience! Linda and Darlene have gone above and beyond to help us and give us all of their tips. If you’re looking for a REAL world trainer who will teach both your dog AND YOU, this is the school for you. If you just want someone to coddle you and tell you that you’re amazing, then find somewhere else. The trainers will help teach you but it’s also on you to do the work at home and take responsibility for your dog!
