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!

Such a nice week with these littles: Joy, Bruno and their new sister Sassy the chihuahua. ❤️ They have all been so sweet and loving. We absolutely loved spending time with them and giving them extra attention.
During their little vacation stay we worked on relationship building between them since Sassy is new to their family. Relationship building is just a fancy way of labeling giving them all attention together, walking them together and lots of hanging out together in a neutral territory with people who are not one particular dog’s special human. Resulting in less competition and jealousy over attention and pets, so easier to share the loving and good vibes. 😄👌
We also worked with Sassy on her panic when being led by her collar or getting tangled when on leash. She hasn’t been walked much in her previous home so can get scared and confused easily when she quickly raps herself around objects when walking or if you try to gently lead her by the collar. Waiting while she panicked to let her calm down, gently encouraging and rewarding heavily with food and praise all helped. I can now gently take her by the collar and she goes with. Good girl!!
We love having our regulars here and their new additions! Especially Chihuahuas. We love Chihuahuas 😂🥰
Such a great day today!!! My babysitter and her cousins all got to say hi to the pups for a little bit and it was a lot of fun!
I had to show the endless play between Max, Fiona and Penny. I have never seen such a well-developed trio of friends! No one gets mad or hurt, they just cycle through picking on each other 😂
Max the 5 month Yorkie is always in the middle of everything and helps fend off whoever is winning more or is the helper to double team the other. 😂
Penny the 1 year golden is very gentle and careful for her size. She loves everyone.
Fiona the 7 month mix is our strongest and most enthusiastic player, she loves rough play and lots of attention. So when she adjust her play to be super gentle and on the ground it attracts more dogs to her, which she likes! She has developed fantastic social skills learning to take it easy while being able to dish back the play to keep it mutual. Since she is so strong and energetic she has needed practice playing as gentle as possible, which she does amazingly! We are super proud of her and can tell her family has been fantastic at her obedience and down-stays at home. Good girl Fiona!!
All the other doggies not seen playing are getting all the lovings and enjoying the atmosphere 😊🥰
Little dachshund wanted to get in there to play 😄
Kavik and Sophy got to join the social for a couple hours today! It was a blast! Everyone was SO sweet to them 🥰
We also had a new little guest, Sassy, the 6 year old chihuahua. She did SO good for being brand new with all these dogs and kids! She loved getting some special lovings and was following my kiddos around. Super cute 😍
Sassy came with her new family members Joy and Bruno. We were all so happy to see these two again! They watch all the fun from the safety of their comfy seat! 😂
Loyal, Bliss and Stirner, your K9 Satisfaction team, going for a morning 4-mile walk/jog trying to beat the heat. We are all so content after a long run! Thinking of adding in customer dogs 🤔 What would be a fair price for something like this?
Loyal, Bliss, Stirner, Arlo and Penny are loving running around on our fresh lawn. Everyone gets along so well! They hang out and running around together so well! Such a nice group to have 🥰
