Highly recommend Shelly/ Paws and think team - Lily was our guide through the training process of our puppy at the puppy class and she was amazing! Our boy was a rescued baby and we could not be happier with the care and attention Lily and Shelly provided to him/ us ❣️

I have done 2 courses with Paws And Think Dog Training now. They are awesome. The best for setting your puppy up for success. The best to help a foster dog or newly adopted dog settle in. I can’t wait to do another course with Shelley. There’s a reason she has 56 five star reviews!

We booked Shelley’s puppy school course after completing another program at a different school that we were disappointed with and we are so glad we did! During the five week course, it was obvious that Shelley is very passionate about her work, genuinely loves dogs and genuinely wants to see them succeed. She is extremely knowledgable and her course was really well structured with only 4-5 dogs in total which allowed for plenty of individual attention for each puppy. And her techniques really work! We really appreciated how practical the course was with lots of demonstrations and each class starting with ‘show and tell’ of the training homework we were given the previous week. The ‘graduation’ class at the end of the course was also adorable. We are looking forward to doing more training with Shelley in the future for our puppy, Sylvie and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her puppy classes to anyone. Thank you so much Shelley!

Shelley is the most passionate trainer! I can’t tell you how much Sir Busta Maclarey and I got from her puppy class. Everyday I am still reading and re reading the hand outs and going over nuggets of advice I scribbled down after class or that came in a newsletter. There is so much love and learning to be had. I couldn’t recommend paws and think higher.

I would highly recommend puppy school with Shelley. Went through four sessions of puppy school with Shelley for my mini foxie and had the best time. She has extensive knowledge on puppy training and dog behaviour. She understands first time dog owner's concerns and takes the time to address them to ensure everyone starts on the right foot. Shelley is also very personable but will be straight forward when needed which I really appreciated. Would love for my dog to go through other training sessions with Shelley in the future!
