!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet Some Of Our Most Recent Dogs and Their Owners Who Have Trained With Us...

 Our resedent Labradoodle, MOLLY, welcomes you to take a look!

We are always excited to share with others the joy that people and their dogs are able to share, when the people are able to command their dog with words and hand signals and body language that dogs understand!

Our Training Methods At SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE, LLC are based on a common sense approach and our years of experience with people and dogs, and how to help people train and trust their dogs. Dogs also need to be helped to learn to trust their owner(s) in all kinds of life situations and surroundings!

When we, ( David & Karen) were on vacation to celebrate our 40th. Wedding Anniversary, we came across this metal sculpture of a boy with his dogs and an onlooking cat!

Ironically, the artist named his masterpiece,

"PEACE KEEPER!"

Our SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE Training & Boarding Center

is named after our now past dog, "SHILOH!"

In Hebrew, Shiloh means:

"Place of Peace!" Shiloh was registered with the AKC as "SHILOH, Dee's Peace Maker!"

We are reminded by this special moment in time how blessed we are by THE LORD to be TRAINING & BOARDING your K9 friend(s), and how wonderful it is that GOD uses one of His beautiful creatures to bring an experience of PEACE between people and their obedient and socailized dog!

Mary, one of our assistant trainers at SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE, LLC, is holding "Willow," an 11 week old Golden Retriever, owned by Eric and Emily from Bloomfield, MI.

As you can plainly see, we love dogs and puppies of all kinds!

Looks like WILLOW loves Mary too!

Willow is even learning to obey commands

from Eric and Emily's children.

"DOWN & STAY!"

"Good girl, WILLOW!!!"

Dad steps in to reinforce the "DOWN" command for WILLOW.

Emily is already working with WILLOW to "HEEL" on a leash!

WILLOW is learning how to properly "MEET & GREET"

people of all ages and sizes.

Eric is helping WILLOW to trust him and to have fun doing so.

It is a potentially fearful thing, (especially for a little puppy).

to enter into the unkown tunnel... where does it all lead to?

"IT'S DAD!!!"

"Yes, GOOD GIRL, WILLOW!"

When a dog of any age learns to TRUST their owner it makes for new and fun discoverys for both the human and the dog!

Dan's dog, HANS, a Wirehaired Pointing Griffin, TRAINED and BOARDED with us for 2 weeks.

HANS stops and looks at Dan, just before sitting at his side after stopping from heeling at Dan's side.

HANS not only learned to be more focused and gentle around his humans, but he learned proper social skills around the other K9s training and boarding with us.

Instead of jumping all over RONJA, the German Shepherd Mix,

HANS laid down and waited for RONJA to approach him.

GOOD WORK, HANS - and you too, RONJA!

After a dozen 1 hour training sessions, Joan and her young German Shepherd Dog, MONTANA, earned the award of CANINE GOOD CITIZEN! Montana had some human fear aggressions and dog on dog aggressions when she first started training with us. BUT, she learned not only basic, but advanced obedience commands and how to respect and be socialable to both new people and other dogs!

GOOD WORK, "TEAM MONTANA!!!"

MEET "GUS!"

Yes, his facial expression tells the story about his personality!

"I'm cool, I'm confident, I'm cute, and I'm up for any challenge!"

GUS Trained and Boarded with us for 5 weeks.

GUS learned to obey and respect everyone in his human family.

"SIT & STAY, Yes, Good Boy, GUS!"

"GUS HEEL!"

His look says:

"Just use a full sentence and tell me that you want me to walk right by your side, step by step, and to automatically stop and sit at your side when you stop walking! I'll get it right, TRUST ME!!!"

"GUS, go under the bench - YES, GOOD BOY!"

"GUS, I want you to learn to BACK UP in a straight line;

GOOD WORK, Yes, GUS!"

"COME GUS, and sit down in front of me and watch me!"

"THIS IS MY SIT; the concrete floor is COLD!"

GUS goes home with all of his wonderful human family.

They all learned how to handle GUS in order to gain his confident trust in them and to obey their commands willingly.

OKAY, so GUS sees it a different way...

GUS says, under his doggy breath:

"SEE, I got em all standing at attention for this picture; it ain't easy getten humans to smile all at the same time - I had to give them one of my many "SILLY FACES" to get this result!!!"

Elizabeth's German Shepherd Mix, RONJA,

trained and boarded with us for two weeks.

RONJA learned the basic obedience commands to

"COME, SIT, DOWN, STAY & HEEL!"

"WATCH ME, Yes, Good Girl, RONJA!"

"DOWN & STAY, Good Girl, RONJA!"

Kelly and her husband, Mark, brought their 1 year old

German Shepherd Dog, BRUNO to us to have him

TRAIN & BOARD for three weeks!

BRUNO came to us unfocused, fear aggressive, having separation anxiety, and limited ability to be engaged with other dogs without fear.

BRUNO learned to WATCH his owners, MARK and KELLY, without being fearful of other people entering into his space when he was with his human family.

BRUNO learned to allow his owners to MEET & GREET

people while SITTING & STAYING in place!

BRUNO also learned to be calm around other K9s,

under the command of his owners.

BRUNO was not the only one happy to go back home, his owners are so happy too that BRUNO is learning to overcome his fear aggressions and separation anxiety issues.

"GOOD WORK, TEAM BRUNO!"

TITUS, is a dominant male German Shepherd Dog.

He trained and boarded with us for 4 weeks.

His owners, Cheryl and Scott, have learned how to control their working line German Shepherd's DOMINANCE.

Inviting TITUS to "WATCH" gave Cheryl the ability to keep BRUNO focused on what behavior she wanted and did not want from her dog.

Mark gave BRUNO a firm "DOWN & STAY" command and gained human control over the dog's natural tendency to control his humans.

Cheryl commands TITUS to "HEEL,"

to go in the direction that she is walking at the speed she is walking.

This control over TITUS gives Cheryl the ability to

keep TITUS in step with her in more ways than one.

Cheryl and Mark have a whole lot of DOG, in BRUNO!

He is a working line German Shepherd, he is dominant over other dogs, his prey drive is strong and his temperament is hard.

HE IS A WORKING DOG OWNER'S DREAM DOG!

Now TITUS' owners have the tools to work with

to work their working line boy, TITUS!

"GOOD WORK, TEAM TITUS!!!"

Lori's Labradoodle, CHIP, trained and boarded with us for about 3 weeks. CHIP needed to learn basic obedience commands and how to properly interact calmly around people and other dogs.

Keeping CHIP focused and calm by being an engaging handler is the skill needed to handle a smart and often stubborn boy like, CHIP!

CHIP really developed nicely and he went home calmer and much more willing to obey the clearly given commands of his owners.

Teresa, from my old home town of Clakston, MI, brought

TEDDY to train and board with us for 4 weeks.

TEDDY is an outstanding example of

a very well bred Bernese Mt. Dog.

He came to us as a shy boy and left us

as an emboldened and happy dog.

"WATCH ME!"

HEEL, leave the dog alone, Good Boy, TEDDY!

TEDDY says:

Yah, I'm ready to take on the world!
