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!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
So clean!!! We love our porch to play on! This company also power washes our dog run/potty area making it smell so good 😁
We were all super proud of Trixie settling down, feeling comfortable and being polite with my pack. She is a recent rescue who was quick to get leash reactive, staying heightened, barking and difficult to break her intense focus towards dogs. But my pack and our strategic approach was soothing to her nerves and she looks quite a bit different walking with them! We are only on lesson #2 and hope to continue this progress so she can comfortably pass more dogs on her walks ❤️
For anyone interested in our initial approach with Trixie:
First lesson we started with just Stirner at a distance in a down-stay and redirecting her onto treats, but this didn’t work very well for her as she still seemed concerned and wanting to take charge even though Stirner was calm and looking away. So we let her walk it off at a distance following him. Allowing as much sniffing as possible. Sniffing is a stress reliever and the end result should have plenty of nice sniffing. Everytime she looked at him with ears forward he looked away until eventually she was mirroring him with ears nice and polite back, looking away casually(not hyperfocused) and seemed comfortable on the walk.
Second lesson they both seemed so much more comfortable so I let Trixie sniff Stirner as he held a down-stay. He allowed it casually, relaxed while looking away so as not to frighten her. I held the leash loose saying "good sniff good sniff" then led her away and praised so it was a quick interaction you sniff and move on. Loyal and Bliss got to watch from the car door open so Trixie could see they can stay. Then we walked and she looked more and more comfortable and part of the pack! Good girl trixie!! Also so proud of my K9 Satisfaction doggy team Loyal, Bliss and Stirner! ❤️❤️
Way to go Trixie
