FUN TIMES AT SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING & BOARDING CENTER, LLC.

The Adult Dogs and Puppies who come to TRAIN & BOARD with us always have a FUN TIME; and their human owners love it that their canine companions are not only trained and boarded with us, but that their “FURBABIES” have a whole lot of fun being in the company of “Uncle Dave & Aunt Eva!”

MEET OUR NEWEST RESIDENT CANINE COMPANION AT SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE Training & Boarding Center, LLC

This is “KIKO,” our 5 month old Labradoodle…

We also trained and have found a new place for our former Belgian Malinois, named “KIKO,” to live out his dream work as a Protection and Security K9.

In Japanese, the name “KIKO” means “BRIGHT AMBER GEM.” We are so fond of the name that we have chosen to call our Standard Size Labradoodle, “KIKO!”

KIKO (Labradoodle) is being trained to be a MOBILITY SERVICE DOG.

KIKO’S adult size will see him weighing in at about 65 lbs.

Throughout his development from being a puppy to becoming an adult dog, we will be highlighting KIKO’S training and progress as he is being trained and conditioned through proper “TRUST BUILDING WORK,” and “SOCIALIZATION SKILLS” with people and other dogs, to become a “MOBILITY SERVICE DOG!“

You Are Encouraged To Spend Time On Our Website To Be Properly Introduced, In Depth, To The TRAINING METHODS & BOARDING FACILITY That We Provide For Our K9 Students.

Please give us a description of what you think and feel that you learned as the human handler of your canine companion by training with us.

We aren’t “Spring Chickens “ anymore. That’s the reason why my husband and I had reservations getting another German Shepherd after saying goodbye to our 13 year old Molly. The decision was made for us when we saw this 8week Shepherd. She was gorgeous but totally out of control. Our vet recommended Dave. We are so pleased with his expertise. Remarkable positive changes after 4 weeks of training under his guidance. As part of his training regiment, my husband and I are now learning the correct way to communicate with our baby and are experiencing fantastic results! We are extremely pleased and highly recommend Shiloh K9 Obedience Training.

WHAT WAS YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE OF OUR FACILITY AND OUR INTERACTIONS WITH YOU AND YOUR CANINE COMPANION?

I can’t say enough good things to express our experience. We were impressed with Dave’s level of knowledge, expertise, dedication and compassion shown towards our baby and patience in explaining the process to us. His facility is clean and very functional.

Our (LLC), Limited Liability Corporation, is Registered and Licensed At The Federal, State and Local level.

I was able to communicate with my girl and her actually listen to me.

WHAT WAS YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE OF OUR FACILITY AND OUR INTERACTIONS WITH YOU AND YOUR CANINE COMPANION?

FREYA and I worked with David for 2 years to become a good citizen and a trained support dog. She is a 2.5 year old pitbull mix. She loved her training and time at Shiloh’s. Uncle David is one of her favorite humans. She is well behaved and does her job well. She flies on airplanes, goes to concerts and movies and day to day shopping . She is still a bit triggered by dogs. Only because she loves other dogs and wants to go meet them. But a quick absolutely not you’re working and she’s back on the job. I could not have asked for a better trainer or human to care for my baby.

Do not let your dog walk you, You walk your dog. Even stubborn dogs are trainable.

WHAT WAS YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE OF OUR FACILITY AND OUR INTERACTIONS WITH YOU AND YOUR CANINE COMPANION?

I have been to two other trainers, different breed dogs. Neither have given the kind of time David has. You don’t just drop your dog off, upon dropping your dog off David spends about an hour getting to know you and his client. It is a very clean and welcoming environment. I was surprised that Kyubbi went right to David upon “sniffing him out.” Akitas are known to be a ONE person dog. David knows how to get into a dog’s head. David and Eva have the love and patience for any dog. Kyubbi was a very happy dog when we went to pick her up.
After 2 weeks we picked Kyubbi up. The third week when David called to check on Kyubbi (QB) we said we were still concerned about an issue ( just a misunderstanding) David had us bring her back and showed us some methods to work with her. As we think she was abused before we got her (8mos) we know this will take some time and Dave is willing to give us his time and work with us and Kyubbi.
I would recommend this place a 100 times over. I just want to say IF you are not willing to do your part don’t waste Dave’s and Eva’s time!

Brittany Pomish1 review

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value

David and Abby are amazing! Our rescue pit mix has completed 2 board and train sessions with them and Lucy is a new dog!! Before David we couldn’t take Lucy for walks where we would run into other people or dogs. We resorted to empty parks and fields, and eventually stopped the walks all together. Now we can walk her through a downtown area! Lucy recently went to her normal vet and we received multiple compliments from other clients with barking dogs about how well behaved our dog was. WE WERE SHOCKED. We never thought we would hear those words! The vet techs remembered Lucy and couldn’t stop talking about the differences they saw in her. David genuinely cares about the dogs as if they were his own, and provides you with the tools you need to be a successful family unit. We can’t recommend him enough!!

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!

This is the depth to which we go at SHILOH K9 OBEDIENCE TRAINING…LLC to help PEOPLE and their DOGS become BEST FRIENDS! Please join us with your dog in this pursuit of training and socializing your K9 to be your CHAMPION COMPANION!
