"I have had the pleassure of training with Shannon in both advanced obedience and therapy dog training and it was always a pleasure!  You will be hard pressed to find antone as passionate about dogs and dog training as Shannon.  In her journey to always find something new to challenge her own dogs I have learned of both barn hunts and rally obedience.  I have now worked with my dog in both of these areas and it has been great.  I also love her heart for animals that is so clearly evident to all who know her.  If you have come across a problem in your training chances are that Shannon's dog Garmin has presented her with the same problem (or something very similar) and she has never given up on him and she never will.  If you are looking for a great trainer you have found one in Shannon."

"Shannon is a wonderful teacher who really cares about her clients, both human and canine.  She has a true passion and gift for what she does.  Two of my dogs have been through three sets of classes each with her, as well as therapy dog observations and testing for their Canine Good Citizen certifications.  One of my dogs and I recently assisted her while she tested a new group of candidates for the CGC.  Through this, I was reminded of her abilities as a trusted leader and teacher.  She wants her clients to succeed and is calm and rational in her approach to behavior modification.  She studies techniques and is always seeking knowledge in the field and she practices what she preaches.  She truly loves what she does and has a true calling for this line of work.  You will not be disappointed."

"Patience, understanding, availability and knowledge: that is Shannon Dunhoft.  Shannon has been such a positive influence on my ability to foster homeless dogs and train my own.  Shannon has taught me how to build relationships with my dogs and the importance of those relationships.  Shannon has helped me to achieve a goal I have had for a long time.  She helped me become a therapy dog handler, train my therapy dog, and teach us the needed behaviors for the Canine Good Citizen. Shannon is always looking for new ideas, new strategies and new techniques to train.  She will never give up.  There have been times when I thought I just couldn't do it; I knew my dog could, but I felt inadequate and unable to perform.  Oh no!  Shannon won't allow thatl she doesn't allow anyone to give up nor does she allow you to feel like that's even an option.  Sometimes it was as simple as a conversation and I was back on track.  Shannon's devotion to rescue, therapy dogs, Canine Good Citizen, and lifelong learning is what makes her a phenomenal trainer."

"When we added our rescue pup, Riley, to our family, we were outdated and uneducated when it came to training.  Shannon provided us with a fun, friendly and productive atmosphere that gave us the tools to teach both our fur-child and our families about being a responsible pet owner.  Her genuine belief in posiive reinforcement, her experienced background, and vast knowledge made the training process a fun bonding experience that covered basic obedience and beyond.  I can say without a doubt that Shannon has helped Riley and I acheive success in basice obedience, advanced obedience, Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, therapy dog certification and much more.  We are looking forward to future training with Shannon and highly recommend her to anyone."

"Shannon is an absolute savior! When we adopted our dog Reggie, it wasn’t exactly the easiest transition for him. However, with the guidance and help of Shannon, Reggie is now doing great! We owe our happiness to Shannon and would refer ANYBODY to her whether you're training your dog with basics, your dog has "problems", or any other needs. Shannon is so easy to talk to, very helpful, and extremely insightful. If the slight chance occurs that she doesn't have a solution, she will make sure to do whatever it takes to find one and help. She will never give up on you or your dog. To this day, we are so very grateful to have contact with Shannon for any help/advice we may need now or in the future."
