Hi! I’m Shannon and I’ve been running K9 Satsifaction for over 11 years. I have a passion for dogs and love to bring them to their best potential. Puppy raising, training and play is a passionate hobby that has become my source of income. Exercise and activity trips are a healthy way to keep any dog in a more balanced state of mind.
I also work with many “issue” dogs helping their owners understand their particular dog, problem solve their approach and create solid replacement behaviors for the dog to resort to. I balance my approach with healthy exercise/activities, continued training, text support for the owners and visits. I love to help people find a better balance with their particular dog!

Some of Oreo’s best clips of his first week here!
He is learning some serious impulse control around food! He already loved other dogs and with just a little bit of them telling him not to jump so much, he started playing SO nice. Such a good boy. Learning to walk nice on a leash, bring back the toy, stay in a down, run around, we got a bit of everything in this video 🥰
Meet Oreo my 1 year and 9 month mixed dog in for my "Well-Mannered Dog" training program! He gets to spend three whole weeks with me learning to be the bestest boy ever. He has already been with me a whole week and learning SO quick!
Oreo is mainly in for stealing things and then guarding them, especially food! He has been keeping his family on their toes as he is quick and sneaky so will snatch anything he can get without giving it up! He also likes to bossy bark, jump repeatedly, counters are his fun zone, coming when called feels optional and leash manners haven’t been worked so digging in when he hits the end of his leash is normal. Dropping the ball for fetch becomes a game of keep away. He also has some touch sensitivity and a bit of stranger danger (will bark at people).
Oreo also has a lot of fantastic characteristics. He is quite tolerant, loves other dogs, very playful and fun. He loves the dog park and to run around. Daisy and him are already best friends. He has been loved on a lot and his love/touch tank fills up quick so it’s been difficult to train with just physical affection if he is not up for it. But he does love him some good praise, a treat or a fun fetch game in the yard! We have been playing fun games with food that he has to strictly leave it. His fetch skills, drop, recall, leash manners, down-stay and stranger danger all improving a lot within a week.
His family is super proud of him and all his videos! He already aced his first lesson back at home learning to avoid the counters and any food that is not directly given to him. Getting on this guy’s team through the training process is also super important to help his stranger danger issues 🥰 Absolutely love this guy and so happy to work with him and his super nice family!! 🥰
That’s amazing, Shannon! Love these photos!
Special mention to these two cuties Duke and Sadie who spent the week boarding with us. ❤️ They just went home and were very good pups! ❤️
A taste of our dog park run today!! We walked with a big pack for a long time, it was a great day! Some people ask how I get them all to leave and it’s never hard! I give them lots of praise when they go in the arena and then in the car. They are always good about following me 🥰
What a great trek!
Some of our social time on our favorite day of the week, play day Wednesday! Thanks for sending your lovely pups here today! 😊❤️
