Dog Owner Success Stories
“Mowgli dog is the best behaved 11 month old puppy that my husband and I have ever seen. I take him to work at a park visitors center where he knows when to be friendly and when to lay down quietly. It’s so rewarding to see what a great boy he’s turned into. We never could have done it without the help of Poala at Shake-a Paw!”
~ Mowgli and family
“Our Oreo is a Sheltie, and was out of control before we started with Paola – Leash walking was a disaster, everything under the sun went into his mouth, and there was no way he’d listen to us.
After a one lesson with Paola, everything started to change around. We took several courses with Oreo and Shake-a-Paw, and both he and his family are a very happy bunch.”
~ Dennis, Anda, Alda, and Oreo
“Amber just loves going to agility class! She likes to play in the snow, and watch the snowmobile races. Sleeping in the sun and hanging our with her sister, Brita are 2 of her favourite ways to spend the day.
Amber is the favourite dog in the trailer park, every kid gives her kisses. Next year she hopes to be in a TV commercial.“
~ Cyndie and Amber
