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!

For anyone struggling with leash reactivity (a heightened vocal response towards triggers with difficulty disengaging). This guy explains perfectly how to initially handle reactive dogs.
Let them look at a safe distance. Create more distance (and correct if needed) the barking. Heavily reward looking away from the trigger or looking at handler. I love to give more leash freedom to dogs like this too as it helps them feel more comfortable. Although a six foot leash seems to work well still if you let them move around with it. Progressing to closer distance at the dog’s comfort level.
I have also found good results with some dogs in actually giving touch(pats, scratches, slightly rough affection to help desensitize) when the dog is looking at trigger too and just saying"no barking" if needed while continuing to let the dog watch and continuing the touch (stopping touch and expecting a sit before continuing touch if needed). Seems to help counter condition in a similar way but with the dog still feeling comfortable engaging/watching.
Creating distance is always a safe option because you are teaching the dog they can disengage and you won’t force them in situations that make them feel threatened. Building a foundation of this I can have dogs trust me quickly in close up and heavy distractions because they know I’ll always have their back and give them an out.
Thanks for reading and watching!! 😁

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.Hosting a little play day tomorrow and we have room for a couple more dogs! Text me if you are interested! 🙂
Sierra, Bella, Arlo, Penny, Duke and Sadie all in for boarding. I’ll be so sad when all these guys go home! 🤗 It’s been a great time. What awesome dogs 🥰
Duke, Sadie, Sully and Tedi are in for boarding as we share the smiles. It’s always fun when Sully joins for some tug! All these guys LOVE humans and enjoy our relaxing atmosphere. Good dogs ❤️

I’ll be hosting regular doggy daycare socials starting the last week in August! Message me now to make sure you don’t miss out!
I do have a small dog group and a medium sized dog group. We love making sure those little dogs are super confident and comfortable, so don’t be afraid to message if you have a small dog!
This trainer led doggy social does not allow barking and jumping so that everyone has a happy time. Affection, smiles, sniffing and mutual play are always welcome! These socials decrease dog to dog anxiety, increase comfort and relaxation around other dogs, and increase positive but calm social interactions.
Text me to get in on my schedule! If you are a new client wanting to be welcome to these socials please fill out my training form (seen below) so that I can get pertinent information on your dog. Mention you are seeking play day information on the last paragraph of the form please. Thank you! ❤️☺️
