More info about Shelby Harvey's dog training:

Separation Anxiety, Intrahousehold Aggression, Puppy Socialization, and Pet Loss Support

Behavioral issue focus:

I specialize in helping pets feel more comfortable when home alone, fixing pet relationships in home when aggression is present, giving puppies a solid social foundation, and supporting owners who have lost or are about to lose their beloved animal companions.

Dog training methods:

I provide behavior consultation services and structured training programs, using scientifically proven positive reinforcement techniques.

Why I became a dog trainer:

Shelby is beyond excited to be able to provide multiple training and pet loss support programs to the community, in order to support the wonderful pets and their human companions in behavior, training, and overall mental wellbeing.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

The So Fetch training and pet loss support team applies evidence-based, positive reinforcement behavioral principles to design structured programs that strengthen safe behaviors, improve communication, and foster lifelong harmony between guardians and their pets. We also approach the end-of-life process by providing gentle, empathetic, and inclusive grief support. Whether you have already lost your pet, are wondering if the rainbow bridge crossing is in the near future for your loved animal companion, or just need support during the euthanasia procedure, we are here to help.

My #1 dog training tip:

Trust in your pet as much as they place trust in you.
