Meet The Trainer Your Dog Will Actually Live With
Hi, I'm Sheldon Lee.
I started training dogs because I kept seeing owners and their dogs blamed for problems that weren't actually their fault. Dogs simply weren't being taught how to function in the real world and the advice they were getting online was at best ineffective, and at worst, wrong in a way that could make things worse.
Your dog doesn't stay in a facility run by staff.
They live and train with me personally, inside a home environment, where behavior is practiced all day, not just during scheduled sessions.
Over the years, I've focused on one thing: Teaching dogs how to live with humans in human environments, not just obey commands in controlled spaces.
Your Dog Trained In The Real World (Not A Backyard)
Most training happens in quiet, controlled spaces. Then you go outside and it all falls apart.
We do something completely different. Your dog stays with us for 21 days in our home, not a kennel.
Our program includes real-world training sessions.
We take your dog out into real-life environments.
Your dog learns how to handle distractions.
We work on improving impulse control.
Your dog learns how to apply its training in practical situations.
When your dog comes home, the commands work in chaos, not just in silence.
Lifetime Support. Forever. No Extra Cost.
What most trainers won't tell you: Training works for 3 weeks, then life happens. You hit a rough patch 6 months later. Now what?
Have a question? Text me.
Hit a rough patch? I guide you through it.
A new situation throws your dog off? I'll help.
Struggling with the application? Come back with your dog as many times as you need to smooth out the wrinkles
This alone is worth thousands. It's included in your investment.
Only 3 Dogs At A Time
(You're Not A Number)
We're not a puppy mill training facility. We don't warehouse 20 dogs at once and then put them through an assembly line process. We take our time, build a relationship of trust, and tailor everything we do to the needs of your dog.
Maximum capacity: 3 dogs.
Your dog lives in our home.
Individual attention, no kennel stress.
Here's Exactly What You Get
21-Day Board & Train
Your dog stays with us in our home. We train them in real Central locations like parks, patios, and downtown, where you'll actually use these skills.
Owner Education
On handoff day, we teach you everything. How to maintain commands. What to do if something slips. You're not left guessing.
Lifetime Support
Hit a rough patch in 6 months? A year? We're here. Text us. Call us. We answer. Forever. No extra cost.
Our Dog's Now Listen And Follow Directions!
We sent both of our Havanese’s to Sheldon to help with basic training and manners. Our dogs thought they were in charge and we had no idea how to change that. When Sheldon brought them back he spent several hours explaining how to continue reinforcing the things they had learned. He was kind, patient and knowledgeable. He has continued to follow up and check on their progress.Thanks Sheldon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my dog has bitten someone?
We don't work with bite histories. These cases need specialized aggression experts, which we'll happily refer you to.
Will this work for my breed?
We work with most breeds. We typically don't accept Malinois, Rottweilers, Dobermans, or most bully breeds due to specialized needs, though we make exceptions for mixes or young puppies.
Can I visit during the 21 days?
We recommend minimal contact during training for best results, but we send photo and video updates regularly so you see progress.
What if it doesn't work?
You have lifetime support. If something slips, we're here. But honestly, if you don't practice 15 minutes twice daily, no training program will stick.
