Our experience with Shelby was outstanding! Her expert knowledge, coupled with her compassionate approach, not only trained our puppy, Sonny, but also taught us how to be better. After just a couple weeks of being home, we are seeing significant improvements! Shelby provided clear, actionable feedback and was available for any questions we had. I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for effective and enjoyable training. She’s not just a trainer but a true dog whisperer who will change how you and your dog understand each other.

Shelby is an amazing person and also an amazing trainer. She treated Maggie the same as she treats her own pups!! Got updates daily and each time I was more and more impressed of how well Maggie was doing!! She was a different dog just within 2-3 days with Shelby! She showed Maggie the same love as she shows her own dogs!!!Maggie was a totally different dog when she got back home!! Shelby explained and taught me everything I needed to know to continue Maggie’s training at home!!! I gained a great dog that listens and a great friend in Shelby!!! I would recommend her to anybody! You won’t regret going with Shelby the Dog Lady!

Shelby has literally saved my relationship with my dog. I went from being a nervous wreck every time my dog was without a leash from trusting her and building a strong foundation with her. Nollie used to be a runner, where a couple of times she couldn’t be reached or found. She is now after training 3 weeks with Shelby, a calmed, obedient, confident dog. Shelby really worked on her confidence and making her feel safe so there is no need to run. The best thing about Shelby is that she treats the dogs she trains like family, she is available for any concern or questions and your dog will literally love to work with Shelby.

I 100% recommend Shelby, she is knowledgeable, consistent and caring. Investing in my dog’s training with Shelby is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 🤗✨ I am more than happy with the results my dog is bringing to the table after her training. 🐾🐶

Words cannot describe how incredibly happy I am that I found Shelby Primeaux-Shelton. I have had my boy home for a few hours now and I can already see the incredible transformation in his attitude and his manners. I have never had to really train a dog before as they picked up on things quick until I got my stubborn poodle, he would learn it but then he wouldn't do it without treats or would only do it when he wanted to. The knowledge and patience shelby has to correct unwanted behaviors and turn him into an already visibly more confident dog is amazing and I recommend her a million times over if you need dog training. 3 weeks was definitely harder for me than it was for him. thank you so much, he was a great dog before but he's even better after your training!!

Where do I begin! We adopted Tank when he was 10 months old. He is a American Bulldog. He is so sweet and loving. He had no training he only knew the command sit and paw. Fast forward 8 months when needed a trainer. Shelby was highly recommended. We brought Tank to meet her and the training began. Shelby was so patient with Tank. She kept constant complaint with us. She would send us pictures and videos. He learned so much doing his 3 week stay. He was completely a new dog when he came home. She showed us all the commands he learned. She took him on field trips. Going different places with Tank so he could learn matters when in a public place. I could never thank Shelby enough for how all the training loving and kindness she gave to Tank. If you need help with training your dog Shelby is your girl for the job. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give her a 10 plus.

We ended up with a Rottweiler puppy that we absolutely were not prepared for. Especially having a new baby. But it was a dire situation, and we had to take her in because her previous owners were neglecting and mistreating her. She was not trained at all, nipped when she was excited , Had absolutely no impulse control etc..

we were at a loss on what to do and did not want to just abandon this sweet girl who already had a rough start. I found Shelby through Facebook recommendations and not only was she extremely thorough with her explanation on the process, but she was understanding of our situation as well .

Shelby took our girl Kali for three weeks and completely transformed her. I cannot think Shelby enough for all of her hard work. She kept us up-to-date with photos and videos. It. She was very communicative through the entire process. I’m truly impressed with kalis progress in just 3 short weeks.

Thank you Shelby !!!

Shelby did an awesome job with my Beaux! Before going to her, when we would open the door he would jet and take off down the street or over the levee! Our main goal for him was to be able to be outside and him not take off!! When he came back home, I was scared to with taking the leash off. However, Shelby was confident that he wasn't going to repeat old habits. We trusted her and was amazed of the progress he made in just three weeks! Still till this day, 3 months later, he hasn't ran off like before and still mastering the commands she taught him! ❤️🐶

Cooper underwent a 2-week board and train program with Shelby, and we were truly amazed by the progress we saw every day. Throughout the training, Shelby kept us in the loop with photos and videos, and we were astounded by how much Cooper improved. After the training, Shelby also taught us how to reinforce his newfound skills and boost his confidence in them. In the videos, we could see how excited Cooper became when he mastered a skill, and we believe Shelby played a crucial role in building his confidence. Now that Cooper is back home, he still maintains that enthusiasm for performing his skills. We had complete trust in Shelby's ability to care for Cooper during his training, and we wholeheartedly recommend her. Cooper adores Shelby, and we're grateful for her video updates, which allowed us to witness his progress firsthand. Thank you for your ongoing support and for being the perfect match for Cooper!

Odin went to Shelby for 2 weeks of puppy training at 5 months old. As a 40+lb Goldendoodle he was full of energy, jumping and biting constantly, even after 3 walks per day. He came home from training able to obey the commands sit, down, and stay PLUS NO MORE JUMPING OR BITING! Shelby is an AMAZING trainer! I recommend her to everyone that asks 🐶🐾

-Liz Henry Lively

Shelby is phenomenal!!!! She took our super crazy Roux and worked absolute miracles with her!! We are so impressed!

I can not recommend Shelby The Dog Lady more!!! If you are on the fence about having your dog trained, just do it!

Champ was already an amazing dog for so many reasons, but we were epically failing in the training aspect. We have had dogs before and never had an issue but he was almost too smart for his own good! We opted for the three week training program. The third week is for off leash training and since we don’t have a fence as an extra precaution.

One day home and our lives are changed! His all demeanor is so much calmer. We are able to live our lives normally and he gets to be apart of all of it because it so amazing with his commands! We also don’t have to stop and train so it doesn’t feel like a chore! We just continue to enforce all the commands he already knows. This is has been the best decision for us and our sweet boy! We were kept updated the entire time and watching the progress was truly amazing!

My favorite aspect is that our dog has 100 percent kept his personality, he is still a wild man and goofy as ever but with manners! We literally could not have had a better experience

-Erin Duet

Cannot recommend her expertise enough! Our crazy Olive has been transformed into the most wonderful pup to be around!! We cannot believe the change she was able to make in just two weeks of training! Highly recommend Shelby! She made the whole experience fun by sending cute pics and videos of all she was doing. So glad we found her!

-Dr. Allison Hamada

Shelby is the female dog whisperer! I can’t recommend her enough. We were having trouble with our 8month old goldendoodle. He went to her and came back a different dog! I am so impressed with the results.

-Sheila Young Vicknair

Love love love Shelby, both as a trainer and her boarding facility. She treated my baby, Clouse, like one of her own. Fantastic to work with, super friendly, loving yet firm with the fur babies. She is also available following training to answer the many questions on how to reinforce what she taught him. I highly recommend Shelby
