Troubled to Trained

If you're looking for a dog trainer who truly gets it, look no further than Shane at Troubled to Trained. We brought Nellie to him as a puppy, and the difference he made was remarkable. Shane does one on one training and was incredibly communicative throughout the whole process, sending regular updates and videos so we always knew how Nellie was doing. He has a natural way with dogs and is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Nellie came away with skills and confidence that have made such a difference in our daily life. Shane is worth every single cent and I can't recommend him enough. Don't wait as long as I did to leave this review because he absolutely deserves it!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Shane! From the moment we first spoke on the phone til the end of our first training session; he was professional, knowledgeable and impressive! He is 100% the person who needs to train your dog! Our dog, Ainsley, is a rescue from the shelter who is extremely reactive/aggressive. In just one session, Shane showed us what it takes to get her behaviors under control, you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you again!!!

We have a new Australian Shepard puppy who is about to turn 10 weeks old. Shane came to our home for puppy training and also teaching us to handle and progress the training on our own. We saw amazing results and learned so much in just an hour and a half. We are eager and excited to continue doing what he taught all of us, we will be using Shane once our puppy turns 6 months for further training. Highly recommend.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Shane at Troubled to Trained and the work he did with our dog, Riley. Riley is extremely dog reactive. Walks were stressful, unpredictable, and honestly exhausting. Our first session with Shane proved he has what it takes to help us help Riley become more socialized with other dogs. More importantly, he helped us better understand Riley’s needs. That’s when we decided to enroll Riley in a one-week train-and-stay program. It was the best decision we could have made. Shane’s confidence and knowledge made it clear that he has what it takes to work successfully with reactive dogs. He worked with Riley every day, helping to socialize him and integrate him into new environments while teaching him how to respond appropriately. He also helped us understand Riley’s behavior and gave us the tools to communicate with him clearly and consistently. One thing that truly set Shane apart was his daily check-ins with videos and phone calls. Every single day, he let us know exactly how training was progressing, what Riley was working on, and how he was improving. Those updates gave us so much reassurance and confidence that Riley was in great hands and on the right track. It was clear Shane was fully invested in Riley’s success, and that level of commitment meant the world to us. Shane is patient, professional, and truly gifted at what he does. He explained everything clearly, tailored the training to Riley’s needs, and gave us the support we needed to further his progress once he returned home with us. If you’re dealing with dog reactivity, or any behavioral challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Shane with Troubled to Trained. The results are nothing short of amazing. Thank you, Shane, for changing our daily life with Riley for the better. 🐾

We have 3 Australian Shepherds and the 2 females were fighting with each other and sometimes growling at my wife and I. Shane spent a week with the two and, just as importantly, he's taught all four of us how to control the situations. Although my wife and I are still learning! Shane did a great job.
