Hi! I’m Shannon and I’ve been running K9 Satsifaction for over 11 years. I have a passion for dogs and love to bring them to their best potential. Puppy raising, training and play is a passionate hobby that has become my source of income. Exercise and activity trips are a healthy way to keep any dog in a more balanced state of mind.
I also work with many “issue” dogs helping their owners understand their particular dog, problem solve their approach and create solid replacement behaviors for the dog to resort to. I balance my approach with healthy exercise/activities, continued training, text support for the owners and visits. I love to help people find a better balance with their particular dog!

Loki the 7 month pocket pity took a two week training course a few weeks ago! This is a late video because I got busy and forgot! Oops! But I had to post this little guy’s best moments in for training!!
Our main focus was getting his attention so he would stay focused on me vs his surroundings. He was easily insecure so this helped his confidence quickly knowing his job is to focus on me vs everyone else. Working on confidence and a focused heel(prevents pulling) when walking was a big one for him!
The other biggest hurdle for Loki was holding a down-stay and taking a backseat or "off-switch". This was especially difficult when people or kids were around. He absolutely loves attention so naturally wants to be in the middle of everything or else will get whiney. Consistency on interrupting that mentality and redirected him to to go relax is a must for a polite mindset.
Tug play, fetch and off-leash fun were all of his favorite things. He got to use lots of healthy energy on these great outlets.
Having Loki was such a bonding time for us. This guy is full of personality! My dogs absolutely love him. What a fun, crazy boy 😂☺️🤗
What a good boy, Loki!! ❤️
A tribute to this amazingly strong and courageous Shepherd who passed away last week. One of my first significant rehab cases: Finn
He was always a fierce protector of his pack. So brilliantly fun and intelligent. Under his initial dominant front he had a teddy bear side too, a willingness to give much leeway and understanding to those in his inner circle. He loved games of poking fun when he was young and aged well into a sweet, old man. Not many people would be able to handle a big boy like this and his owners went above and beyond with him. Taking him everywhere, so many adventures and good times. We will all miss you big boy ❤️❤️❤️
I’ll post most video links in comments. ❤️

At 1:24 you can see Finn helping entertain some daycare/boarding guests and how gentle he could be with those smaller than himself that he felt comfortable with ❤️❤️ www.facebook.com/share/v/1ANEwMb9yg/
Thank you, Shannon for these beautiful memories and tribute to Finn. I’m grateful for you – you taught me patience and perseverance and gave me hope that he could actually be trained. His was a life well lived and you were a part of our success in keeping him. Thank you for believing in him and me!
