Testimonials...

"...and a BIG thanks to Shannan and FF Dogs for giving us the training and the tools that we need to have fun and success in our dog sports. I never dreamed when I took that first Rally-O class that it would start us on such a fun journey!!"  

- Kathy, Bernie & Buddy

Believe in the Process!

"I loved Shannan's quiet, low-key and confident style. It was a pleasure to see her work with the dogs and to see them respond to her...I found it encouraging to see the progress in my dog as well as in others - it made me a believer in the process of training through positive reinforcement."

- Jennifer & Petunia, Companion Dog I

Recall Success!

"The larger gate on the far side of the lawn had been left open (my fault), River scooted through (with delight in his eye and pep in his step). I instantly had flash backs of our hour long "adventure" through the neighborhood in the middle of winter... this time, I said firmly "River, NO!" he stopped. I got down low, at an angle, and said his name in a silly voice as he thought about bolting… I wanted to panic, I TOOK A DEEP BREATHE, (had no treats on me) and said to myself “here we go, lets do this” He was thinking about it a staring me down… I said “River (sweet and silly) COME”, and started to run away from him back in to the yard… gulp… “Come on River”… “Lets go”… “you can do it”… I could see him through the slats in the 6 foot fence… “GOOD BOY” “GOOD BOY” “Yes”… “you got this”… and he was trotting right to me! With a look like “didn’t I do a good job Mom?!

I was SO PROUD of him! LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of praise! I threw his favorite ball for him (in the yard) and continued to give him some extra praise : ) Ran in to get treats and we had a little party for us both, but really for him! I know this would have had a different result if we had not taken your Re-Call class - thank you!"

- Abra & River-dog, Graduates of the FFD Recall (Come When Called) Class
