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!

5 month little Gus the Dauschund in for boarding for a week with some extra training added in!
We working on his crate training, potty trained and basic obedience: down, stay/wait, sit, come, place, drop, no jumping, no whining, free and leash training. Although he was upgraded to working on more advanced obedience: following off-leash and duration place under distraction! Then after getting him super comfy with our kids he upgraded yet again to even working for our kids!! Good boy Gus!!
He is super drivey, social, playful and resilient so having him be kept busy with the extra training, walks, play and socializing was fantastic to keep his mind active and his manners polite.
We all loved this little guy and were very happy to watch him for his vacation boarding. He loves kids and dogs so it has been great fun having him play and make so many friends.
We especially love the littles here so please feel free to message me if you are interested in sending your pup here! 😊❤️
This little darling has been such a good girl for her grooming! Can hardly imagine her previous groomers said she needed sedated to get groomed.
We started with counter conditioning the clippers as she was petrified of them, hiding, running away, growling, ducking her head to snap and extreme anxiety just being on a counter near the equipment. Now she is holding her tail up high, no shaking/panting anxiety, able to hold still and even bringing her face to my hand despite not particularly enjoying getting her face clipped. Super proud of her and actually enjoyed her last groom.
This process took about 10 short sessions(10-15 minutes each) spread out over a few days and then a few 30 minute sessions before doing a full groom and this was her second full groom with me. Good girl Luna!!!
Some of our action today! I could only do pick ups in our neighborhood (because of the cold and car situation) and so happy to see 5 neighborhood doggies here! Plus two drop offs from further away. I am surprised they want to go outside, but I keep it for short durations and they all get frisky!!!
I love how everyone goes to sleep together after noon 😍
The little one is crazy 😜
So sorry to say that another amazing dog, Greta, sadly passed away recently. She was a spirited girl and had a very full life. She will be missed ❤️❤️
Videos of her at our place in comments ❤️❤️

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.I think this was Loyal and Greta's first introduction. They became great friends whenever she came over and she hung out so nice with them www.facebook.com/share/v/182SidhKvJ/

Shannon Greta just loved you! All the trainers we went through(all big guys) and who is the one to tame the beast? The petite, soft spoken women. You were the one to figure her out. "Whisper" to her you told me and it worked! lol. I'll be forever grateful to you for helping me with my girl. Way more dog than I could ever handle but with your help we figured it out. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for Greta’s family. I remember her – she was a sweet girl – full of energy and made me smile when I would pick up Finn.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Then of course Greta quickly began to help US with new puppies and dogs coming in 🥰 She was a solid dog to have around other dogs here.. Helping us socialize the young puppies and scared dogs because she knew how it felt like. Good girl Greta ❤️❤️ www.facebook.com/share/v/1Uvds5pHqn/
