HAPPY TAILS
Shayla has lead group training that I’ve attended with my dog Veda for a year and half! Shayla is very good at assessing each dog’s individual needs and interpreting animal body language. She has house sit for me twice in complicated situations and I never had a concern while I was gone. For background, that is a big deal as my dog has escaped twice. I didn’t worry when she was with Shayla. We also had two cats that needed to be separated.
