Meet Elaine and her
THERAPY DOG, "LILO!"
Elaine brought her French Bulldog, LILO, to approximately twelve of our "1 0n 1" ONE HOUR training sessions.
After LILO was trained to pass her AKC "Canine Good Citizen" test, and with further training and conditioning of LILO with our "trust-building" methods, Elaine was able to introduce LILO to a residential elder care facility. There LILO put her willing obedience and fine social skills on display with wonderful canine to human interactions.
[LILO is being conditioned by Elaine to sit on a chair to be close enough for a person in a wheelchair to pet her!]

Everyone loved visiting with this lovely little French Bulldog!

Meet Matthew and his
SERVICE DOG, "TOBY!"
[We share Matthew's Story with his permission...]
Due to a car accident several years ago, Matthew suffered a TBI, (traumatic brain injury), and he has frequent seizures which can cause blackouts. Though Matthew does not have to use his own wheelchair very often, you can see that we also trained and conditioned TOBY to work as Matthew's SERVICE DOG, around a wheelchair.
Matthew contacted us about TRAINING & BOARDING his Standard Poodle, TOBY, with the desire to have TOBY become his SERVICE DOG.
TOBY had to be able to provide
Matthew with both the ability to do
"mobility" and "PTSD" support work
in all kinds of conditions.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Following Pictures Show The Progression
That TOBY, and his owner MATTHEW,
made during the seven weeks that TOBY
spent in our TRAIN & BOARD program...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The starting point with TOBY was to condition
him to LOVE TO WATCH his human handler.
(Our assistant trainer, Makayla, began by training TOBY with a hand gesture and the phrase, "WATCH ME," to help TOBY focus his eyes on the person he was working with, to keep him from focusing on other distractions.)
Of course TOBY liked receiving a little tastey treat
for learning his SERIVC DOG skills! 
Matthew used our handwave over the head,
to signal and call TOBY to come to him...
Having a SERVICE DOG respond to a CALL COMMAND by coming to his owner, sitting down and looking up at Matthew, gives Matthew the ability to take hold of TOBY by his leash and to walk with TOBY without the dog running off.
When walking with his SERVICE DOG, "TOBY," the best thing for his dog to do, after TOBY has obeyed the command to "HEEL" by walking calmly at Matthew's side, is for TOBY to automatically stop and look at Matthew when Matthew stops to rest, to check traffic on a street corner, or to simply meet and greet another person that Matthew may want to visit. 
TOBY needed to learn to "HEEL" by walking along the side of Matthew's wheelchair too.
Training & Conditioning TOBY to "TRUST" his owner, MATTHEW, has been a major benefit for the relationship between Matthew and his canine companion!
[After taking several steps to have TOBY trust Matthew to walk around and then across the ramp, TOBY was trusting and willing to obey Matthew's command to "DOWN & STAY" on the ramp, even with Matthew walking away from his dog.]
During TOBY'S seven week TRAINING & BOARDING time with us,
he was socialized with many different dogs.
TOBY was trained to "BACKUP" with his human hander,
by backing up with him!
TOBY was conditioned to come and lay across the lap of a person if they fell on the ground, in order to apply pressure to calm that person.
TOBY was trained to jump over an object if he needed
to get over a barrier between him and his owner.
TOBY was trained to weave around objects
in order to get to the location of his owner.
TOBY was conditioned to lay down and stay in place
on top of an elevated platform.
TOBY was taught to take directions to "GO RIGHT,"
(or, GO LEFT), on command!
Greeting another person with TOBY as his SERVICE DOG, means that Matthew is able to command TOBY to remain uninvolved with Matthew's engagement with another person.
TOBY and Matthew learned to work as a team
when approaching their vehicle -
Toby learned to wait to approach the van and not to pull Matthew to it.
Waiting for Matthew's command to load up,
TOBY prepares to jump up and walk into his travel crate...
Safe and secure, TOBY can travel with Matthew and his family and preform his SERVICE DOG work anywhere at anytime.
TIME TO PUT
A WELL-TRAINED SERVICE DOG
TO THE TEST!
(Matthew is telling TOBY to "HEEL"
as they walk through a shopping mall together...)
If Matthew goes shopping for something, like a pair of shoes,
then TOBY has to obey the commands to "DOWN & STAY"
while Matthew tries something on for size and checks it out,
without TOBY getting involved...
If Matthew drops something like a belt on the floor,
TOBY must be trained and conditioned to not touch
an object that he is supposed to leave alone.
When Matthew's son, Matt, joined him,
while TOBY was heeling at Matthew's side,
then TOBY must just keep his focus on his handler,
and not be distracted by another person walking in his company. 
SEVEN WEEKS OF
TRAINING & BOARDING...
After TRAINING for service dog work and earning his AKC,
"Canine Good Citizen" status, TOBY is a SERVICE DOG in action...
Now TEAM TOBY can exit not only out of a shopping mall gracefully, but Matthew and his SERVICE DOG, TOBY, can enter into all kinds of new and wonderful places, among all kinds of different people and other dogs, and TEAM TOBY will do great things together -
GOOD WORK, "TEAM TOBY!!!"

Meet Our Resident Geman Shepherd Dog, "TROOPER!"
He is mentoring a young dog that needed to learn to show respect to, and play properly around, other dogs.
[Trooper is being commanded by his owner/handler, David, to exercise his dominance to control and communicate to the other dog to be respectful and to not jump on or run into the face of Trooper.]
This picture shows the younger dog coming to the side of Trooper and almost bowing in submission to Trooper's dominant posture, as Trooper towers over the submitting dog.

Trooper is trained and conditioned by us
to never bite or physically harm another dog!

PEOPLE & DOG COMPANIONSHIP-
A Thoroughly Personal Approach
In Suzanne Clothiers book; Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships with Dogs (p. 55), she writes:
Every dog trainer in the world can relate stories of clients who want a dog and are seeking advice as to what kind of dog they should consider. Questioned, the client reports in all sincerity that they want a dog who would happily stay home alone for eight to ten or more hours a day, never destroy anything, perfectly control his bladder and bowels, be delighted to see them and need little more than a walk around the block before settling down to keep them company. They ask, What kind of dog should I get? The correct answer is A stuffed one.
Clothier goes on to say: All the delight of a dogs companionship but none of the responsibility. But also none of the soulful moments of dynamic authenticity.
* * *
At SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING & BOARDING CENTER, LLC we are NOT willing to work with people and their dogs, if the people ONLY want us to try to turn their dog into A ROBOTIC BODY that mechanically comes, sits, downs, and stays!
Our whole approach is to BE PERSONAL with PEOPLE and with their DOG! We want to demonstrate how it is possible to treat all dogs as THE BEAUTIFUL COMPANIONS that they want to be to their HUMAN OWNER.
We communicate with canines PERSONALLY, appealing to their BRAIN to learn commands, but we also communicate with A DOG'S SOUL, to engage each dog as THE UNIQUELY INDIVIDUAL CREATURE that it is, in its own right. We model what it means, on many levels, to be A HUMAN HANDLER who wants A REAL VITAL LIFE RELATIONSHIP with their CANINE COMPANION!
Only a HUMAN BEING, who is RESPONSIBLE to learn what they must BE and DO to own and handle a DOG, can truly have A REAL RELATIONSHIP with their DOG as their four-legged COMPANION!
David and his Service Dog, TROOPER!

BARKLEY is learning basic obedience commands and to behave more calmly around people and other canines. 
Meet "FLOKI,"
owned by Jennifer.
Floki is a 1 year old Husky.
He is training & boarding with us for 4 weeks.
Floki is a great dog, but he needs to be trained in basic obedience commands and he needs to learn to respect other dogs and people without jumping on them and mouthing them. 
Meet "GABBY,"
owned by Jim & Anne.
Gabby just fininshed training and boarding with us for 4 weeks.
She learned to be an obedient, focused and socially proper dog around people and other dogs.
Gabby even learned how to play with a human controlling her toy and not Gabby controlling the toy.
Everyone is smiling on GABBY'S go home day!
Meet "JAKE,"
owned by Bill & Mary.
Jake is a year old Goldendoodle.
Jake has been controlling people by jumping on them and knipping on them to intimidate them with his dominant nature.
Working with Jake and his owners to engage with one another with eye contact and respectful contact, is helping Jake to act more calmly.
Meet "MURPHY,"
owned by Felicia & Jordon.
Murphy is a 2 1/2 year old Bernese Mt. Dog.
Murphy is trainig & boarding with us for 3 weeks.
He is learning to be more confident and trusting around people and other dogs.
Murphy is a smart boy!
Our assistant trainer, Ian, is giving Murphy the hand signal to lay down on the floor, but Murphy is also holding out his paw as if to say;
"LET'S SEE WHO LAYS DOWN FIRST!!!"
Meet "STELLA BLUE,"
owned by Ellen.
[Stella is the all black GSD]
Stella is an interesting girl, she has a soft temperament, but she is dominant by nature and a bit stubborn too.
After first working with her to train Stella some basic obedience commands with a fair amount of opposition on her part, Ian brought our resedent GSD, "TROOPER," into the picure to help us bring Stella into a more submissive attitude.
STELLA is getting into TROOPER'S face with an attempt to dominate him!
TROOPER responds with his own dominance exercised over STELLA...
STELLA gets TROOPER'S message and shows herself submissive to his position of expeciting her to bow to him.
[After this encounter, our time of training with Stella was much more productive.]
LESSON LEARNED!!!
Meet "STELLA," the Labradoodle puppy, owned by Krysta.
Stella is training & boarding with us for 4 weeks.
She isonly four months old and is already obeying advance commands.
Krysta is training with Stella [off leash] which shows that Stella is wanting to obey commands without needing to be anchored by a leash.
"COME, Yes, Good Girl, STELLA!!!"
Meet "ZOEY," she is only a 16 week old Labrador puppy.
Zoey is very eager to engage with her owners as she is being trained. Zoey has already learned the basic commands of COME, SIT, DOWN, STAY and HEEL!
She is advancing to seaching out scent items...
AND... she is engaging with her owners to trust them and to take on a challenge such as walking or crawling under mock tunnels... 
YES!!! Good Girl ZOEY.
Zoey has a keen focus, giving her human handlers direct and concentrated eye contact.

BEST FRIEND!"
WELCOME!
My name is David Dee. I can help you with training your family dog, or working dog, in addressing specific behaviors. Negative Behaviors can be overcome and Positive Behaviors can be learned, with the right mind and method !
Dog Training is one of life's simple pleasures for me! I enjoy seeing K9's and their human handlers working together in harmony.
You can spend hundreds of dollars and READ BOOKS for years on how to train your dog to be obedient - or you can spend a little time and a little money with someone who knows how to READ DOGS, who can bring the best behavior out of your dog!!!
Do you want to learn how to read and understand your dog, so that you can continue to train your four-footed friend to obey you and to enjoy being a dog? Do you want to have other people enjoy you and your dog? SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING & BOARDING CENTER, LLC is the right place for you.

Meet "KLAUS!"
His owner, Kane, is training Klaus to obey the command to "HEEL" in this picture.
Klaus is training and boarding with us for 4 weeks.
In this picture you can see our assistant trainer, Ian, engaging Klaus to give him eye contact.
Klaus came to us with the need to learn to trust new people in his life and to be confident aroung people and other dogs.
Whenever Klaus shows us that he is stressed over some situation, we pat him firmly on his shoulder and say to him;
"YOU'RE JUST FINE!"
This technique both calms and emboldens a dog to be assured that it is in the kind and helpful hands of its human handler.
Meet "BEAU" and his owner, Abhi.
Beau is a 14 week old Labradoodle from the "Lauderdoodle" kennels in Ohio.
He is training and boarding with us for 4 weeks.
Like all puppies, Beau must first learn to have eyes on his human handle in order to focus on the verbal and visual commands that we train the dog to understand and to obey!
"WATCH ME!"
"Yes, good boy."
After much patience and persistence, waiting Beau out to obey the command to "SIT," Beau gives that look that says it all...
"THERE, there is your "SIT!!!""
Beau even gave his owne, Abhi, an obedient responce to being commanded to sit on the ramp.
"GOOD BOY, BEAU!"
