Great indoor facility. Easy to find and lots of parking. Sima is an excellent trainer and extremely knowledgeable. This is they place to be if you want puppy training that works. Will definitely be returning for level 1 obedience training.

We brought our dog Coco to Sima with the issue of him being aggressive around other dogs. She took the time to analyze and explain why he was acting the way he was. We had numerous private sessions and after the first one we saw results. We now go for walks with full control of our dog and more importantly STRESS FREE! Thank you Sima for all that you do and helping us!

I've known Sima for more than a decade and her passion for dogs and training has never faltered, only got stronger. Unfortunately since we live in the Netherlands, I could not join one of her seminars, but she has helped us from afar by giving excellent advice on how to deal with our dog's selective reactivity (especially helpful that Sima also has her own huskies so she knows first-hand that not all dogs enjoy being around huskies) & also gave excellent tips on recall training since our dog is quite the hunter! Whether you have a working dog or a peculiar mix with behaviour issues, Sima is your trainer!

Shield K9 I took my 9 month old puppy in for the board and train at Shield K9 and could not be happier with the results. My little guy is a high energy breed mixed with anxiety and a defiant nature, and after months of trying different training techniques and working through group and private training sessions elsewhere I was still having a lot of difficulty working with him. Such a great personality but things only got more challenging the bigger he got, and I was getting worried about how much important puppy development he was missing out on while we barely had the basics down. 3 weeks with the trainers at Shield K9 and its a whole different story. I still get the same awesome puppy personality but the structure and foundations to learn and grow together are finally there. Trainer Sima clearly cares a lot about the training she does and the animals she works with. She went above and beyond both with my pup and then again making sure I had the tools and knowledge needed to keep things going in the right direction after getting him back home. A little more than a month later and it still amazes me how far we've come in such a short amount of time. I recommend them to anyone seeking training, and then especially anyone who is struggling and looking to get the relationship with their dog on track
