Don’t Take Our Word For It
Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying About Us
Shelly is AMAZING! Our sweet golden retriever puppy Douglas has totally adapted to the world and our lives in the best way, thanks to our puppy training with Shelly. I was very scared going into mom-hood –I actually cried to Shelly the first couple of sessions because how overwhelmed I was– and she was so patient and kind. She fully supports you through the process of initial puppy training, socialization, etc. Douglas is a sweet obedient boy and I don’t think we could’ve gotten through the first couple of months with him without Shelly!

Shelly Haines has worked wonders with our puppy. She helped with potty training and then onto sit, down, stay and loose leash walking. Her suggestions and training on all of these have been so insightful and helpful. Shelly has taught us how our puppy thinks in order to help him become the wonderful companion we want him to be. I highly recommend Shelly and her company, Fetch Worthy!

Shelly has helped my family raise our puppy, Honey (a mini goldendoodle), from scratch! She has coached us through everything from crate training and puppy biting to greeting new people and walking on a leash. We are thankful that she stressed socialization and introduction of stimuli at such a young age with our pup. Aside from the helpful in-person training sessions, Shelly provides helpful resources to check out and follows-up on questions and concerns whenever we have them. Overall, Shelly is a very patient and understanding trainer that is very professional and fun to work with!

We have two rescue dogs, a 6 year-old Shar Pei named Oso, who has always pulled durings our walks, and a 2 year-old Shepherd mix named Stevi, who likes to walk in a zig zag fashion. It became nearly impossible to take them out for walks without them pulling my arm and barking at everything. Did I mention yet that they both love her? The way she explains things is easy to understand. We are becoming more confident and knowledgeable in dog training. We trust her with our dogs’ training, care and well-being.

We desperately needed some help with our puppy, Ferguson and Fetch Worthy has been incredible. We are first-time dog owners and Shelly has helped us so much with getting him under control (as much as you can with a puppy!) She is always sending us emails with resources and homework which has been so helpful. She truly cares about our pup and has been so caring and loving with him. It’s scary to trust someone with your family member, but with Shelly it’s easy. So glad we found her!

Fetch Worthy has been helping me with my very large, sweet, but a hot mess of a German Shepard pup, Sky. I needed a dog walker because Sky is hard to walk, and knew we needed to enroll in the Walk + Train program. She was able to connect with her right away, which is hard since my dogs can be fearful of strangers in the house. Sky has improved her leash walking manners, focusing on me and our walk together without pulling without the use of aversive walking equipment. I’m very pleased with Shelly’s guidance. I highly recommend Shelly Haines!

3 Cheers for Emergency Recall!
First, I had no idea this was even a thing (first time puppy mom). Thank goodness you insisted on this being one of the very first things our girls were trained on and encouraged us make it part of our daily training at home.
Birdie and Maizy (our 15lbs, 5 month old mini aussies) fancy themselves to be grand explorers and professional diggers […] escaped into a neighboring backyard. […]
If we hadn’t trained on emergency recall so diligently, we would have lost our girls. […] THANK YOU!!!

We are very happy with what Shelley has helped us with. We have a challenging dog that we got as a rescue … so we don’t know her background. Shelley provided us with the tools we needed to continue getting our sweet dog settled in and past her exaggerated reactivity.

Where do I begin? My husband and I learned an incredible amount from Shelly’s valuable lessons. Of course, so did our Boston Terrier. Shelly showed remarkable patience with her. We started with a very active puppy of 10 months and gradually tamed her together. She will continue to make progress as long as we train consistently. Tippi responded very well to her positivity and commands. We will continue to follow through and keep in touch. I cannot recommend this kind and dedicated trainer enough.

Shelly is the absolute best trainer! She is kind, responsive, and her positive training methods are effective. She supported us to help our Heeler/Aussie mix to become less reactive when walking on a leash and to increase his comfort around other dogs. With Shelly’s help, our boy successfully completed Canine Good Citizen. We learned so much about how to work with him and had a lot of fun doing it. We use the skills Shelly taught us every day with great success. You won’t find a better trainer – I highly recommend!

Shelly was a wonderful trainer to work with! She is highly experienced and truly helped transform our dog’s behavior. Our golden needed lots of help walking on a leash and greeting others and she gave us practical steps to help train our dog (and us) to be successful. Plus, it was an enjoyable experience!
Hayley T.
Shelly has brought a sense of peace and organization to our lives in the midst of the chaos of a new puppy. It was overwhelming trying to figure out what to do watching the billions of you tube videos and varying approaches. All I knew was I wanted a trainer and an approach that was based in kindness and positivity.
Luckily I found Shelly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviors and the precursors to dog behaviors. She notices things that were not even on my radar! The tiniest of movements mean something, and she knows what they are. It’s pretty amazing.
