Orchard Park’s Premiere Dog Training

Creating calm, happy, and confident dogs one home at a time.

I’m Shea. Orchard Park’s Dog-Owner & Relationship Builder

Hi, I’m Shea, a dog trainer dedicated to building strong relationships between dogs and their owners. I believe dog training is about more than just obedience — it’s about creating a life where both you and your dog can thrive together.

My approach? Personalized, in-home training designed to meet your needs and make your goals a reality.

I started this business because I knew I could offer something unique: a realistic, engaging approach to training that prioritizes your dog’s individuality and your family’s lifestyle.

Let’s make life with your dog smoother, more fun, and more connected.

Helping dogs and their families thrive through tailored training and heartfelt support.

Whether you're looking to enjoy stress-free outings or tackle challenging behaviors like pulling on leash, jumping on guests or just simply not listening, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Our Services *

  • This immersive, hands-on program is designed to help dogs overcome behavioral challenges and learn essential skills in a controlled environment. With a 2 or 3-week stay, your dog will receive personalized attention, structure, and consistent training. This is a great option for addressing specific issues and laying a solid foundation for a well-behaved dog in the long run.

  • Whether you prefer a single lesson or a more extensive 6-week plan, our private lessons are designed to work around your lifestyle and focus on your dog’s unique needs. Opt for a one-time session for targeted advice or commit to a 6-week course with weekly or bi-weekly sessions for deeper, lasting change. We’ll equip you with the tools and confidence to foster lasting growth in your dog’s behavior.

  • Starting training early is the best way to prevent problem behaviors. With our 2-week board and train program or private lessons, we’ll focus on essential skills like potty training, socialization, and basic commands. Both options provide structured guidance to help your puppy thrive, and you’ll walk away with the tools to continue their training at home.

"Shea is an amazing dog trainer! She helped me fix a few issues I was having with my dog's behavior. My Ozzy has learned to walk better on a leash, place training & recall. She is very knowledgeable and also very kind. Shea not only answers questions during the training session, she is also always available through text. I highly recommend her!!!”

"Cannot thank Shea enough for all her help with my pup Brody! We had some initial issues with nipping and reactivity and Shea solved them quickly. Me and Brody learned so much with our weekly private lesson with Shea and I look forward to keep working with Shea to keep up Brody's great progress.”
