Success Stories!

I have been working with Shannon for several weeks now on a few issues. The first being, my dog pulls on our daily walks and really does not pay attention to my commands. My dog, Lily, who is 55 pounds, was making me regret walking her with her constant pulling. We had been to a previous trainer who gave us some tips but they did not solve the problem of pulling. I thought I would have to put up with this behavior as long as I had Lily. Then, along came Shannon. Within a few lessons, Lily wasn’t pulling as much and was listening and following directives. We started out slow, with lessons in the house and backyard before we took what we learned and implemented it on our daily walks. Lily is doing great on our walks. We have been complemented by several people on our walks by how well behaved Lily is now. That is something new as I have been asked in the past “about who was walking who.” Shannon is very knowledgeable and will spend time with you to see first hand what the problem is before she will make suggestions. The suggestions are thoughtful, appropriate and usually turn out to be successful. She has a rapport with Lily that is amazing. Lily usually doesn’t take to strangers, but she went to Shannon right away. In fact, I think Lily would rather walk with Shannon than me!!! Shannon is constantly asking me what I issues I feel I need to work on and she meets these needs with thoughtful tips and actions. She builds my confidence in relating to my dog and makes me the pack leader!!! I don’t have enough words to say how thankful I am to Shannon for helping me with Lily!! I would highly recommend Shannon to help with your dog obedience needs!!!

I can't say enough good things about Shannon's canine coaching. She is patient, knowledgeable, engaged and was always looking for the key to my dog's behavior. She doesn't just train a dog to obey commands. She tries to figure out why a dog acts the way it does and find a solution to modify their behavior. My dog learned commands right away using the techniques that Shannon taught me. He is happy and loves to learn. Training with Creating Momentum shows that you can have fun with your dogs while training them.

I would just like you to know what a difference you have made in my new dogs life. After adding Gia to my pack I noticed some red flags. In contacting you i learned that the behavior I was seeing was nothing we could not learn from and work with. I so enjoyed our zoom consultation and your advice made total sense and was so easy to implement in our lives. It made a big difference in Gia’s behavior right off the bat. She is now fitting into our household so much better. Any doubt I had is gone, she is in her forever home and we couldn’t be happier with her. Thank you so much for your clear and easy to follow instructions.
