If you are seeking private training sessions, we encourage you to explore our private training page and Shir will send you a text message to schedule your complimentary phone consultation. During your phone consultation, Shir will be able to learn more about your pup’s story and your goals, while giving you an opportunity to learn about her training style and background. Through the call we will discuss the best program for you and your family.
If you would like to start your training journey sooner, we encourage you to check out our Sunday Group Training Classes which may also be a good fit for you and your pup's needs. You can learn more about group training and apply to a class here.
and welcome!
due to high demand, we currently have A 2-3 week waitlist for private training consultations

We knew we wanted to do positive reinforcement training but we had no idea it would be such an incredible experience working with Shir. She meets you and your dog where you're at, customizing the training to you and your goals for your dog, along with their personality, preferences, and quirks.”

"Wizard, magician, dog Whisperer...Shir is nothing short of amazing. Shir can easily disprove that quote... you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My 8 year old dog was not happy with my toddler and I was desperate for help. Shir was super empathetic, professional, and motivating. She offered the exact support and training we needed to increase Daisy's confidence."

"Behavioral changes don’t happen overnight— but I feel so much less hopeless now that I have the skills to continue on Lu’s training. Thank you Shir for responding to early morning texts, pushing us to trust Lu and set firm goals, and putting Lu’s health and happiness at the forefront of training. You approached each session with patience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and positivity"

"I had lost all confidence and I was so anxious every time I walked out the door with her. The first thing Shir did was put my mind at ease. She gave me hope. And after the first couple sessions I saw an immediate change in Poppy’s reactivity. I was shocked!"
