NYC Dog Training

Shelby enrolled in Animal Behavior college early in 2009 and was paired up with Kate as a mentor. She then went on to graduate with honors and became a certified dog trainer at the end of 2009. For the past year, she has helped teach Kate's Puppy Kindergarden and Basic Obedience classes. Having switched over from the corporate world, Shelby is ecstatic to now be working full time as an assistant dog trainer to Kate. Starting in May 2010, after helping teach at the other locations for the past year, she is thrilled to be leading the classes at Kate's new location- Precious Pets. She grew up on Long Island in a household that consistently had 3 dogs at a time, one always being a German Shepherd. Xena the long haired chihuahua, became Shelby's first personal dog as well as roommate while she was studying at the University of Michigan; she now also is the proud owner of a Pomeranian named Taz whose behavioral issues help keep her training
