Shane Stanis
In over 20 years as a dog training and behavior professional, I've developed expertise in coaching a range of pups, from over the top teens to dogs with a history of aggression, and developed a special place in my heart for our most timid canine companions. Teaching seminars, group dog training classes & individual consultations has allowed me to enjoy teaching pet owners, animal shelter volunteers and professional dog trainers.
Living with two semi-feral dogs has given me a unique perspective on the needs of these special animals. When I first met Chloe and Bella, they would run around me at a distance, never coming close enough for me to touch them.
By setting small goals, giving them space and exercising patience, I was finally able to gain their trust. Now we can enjoy cuddling on the couch, playing with their toys, and training together so they can gain even more confidence.
As the owner/operator of Mighty Mutts Dog Training in Martinez, CA, I use the latest research-based methods to create a customized plan that helps bring better quality of life to everyone in the home - human and animal alike. The Confidence Builders Academy allows me to bring these skills to shy & fearful dogs across the country and beyond in the place these pups are most comfortable - their homes.
