Hello, I'm Shelby. I have been training dogs for over 6 years and before that I was working at my local SPCA helping to care for all manner of animals. I graduated with an animal behavior degree from Pen Foster and have been putting that degree to work ever since.
Working with and helping dogs is my number one passion in life and I have been at it since I was 16, volunteering at the local animal shelter and since 2021 have been helping train dogs and building strong and positive owner/dog relationships for clients all across Maryland. I love to build up and guide both owner and pet into the best team they can be and I can't wait to work with you and yours.
We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.See all
