She has been taught by Jean Donaldson’s through the Academy for Dog Trainers, which is widely considered the gold standard of dog training schools internationally.

To give back to her community, Shelley volunteers as a trainer for the San Francisco SPCA’s Behavior and Training Department. Shelley specializes in working with shy and fearful dogs. She is also a Coach for the SF/SPCA’s Volunteer Internship Program and Kim Moeller's Reactive Rover program, which works with dogs who are aggressive on-leash.

She hopes to prevent such tragic separations by training dogs so they can have happy lives with loving families.
-Testimonials-
"My husband and I have been working with Shelley for many weeks now. She has helped us immensely with our huge, lovable Doberman! Shelley's expertise with dogs is evident every time we meet. But besides
her knowledge and experience, she has a friendly, gentle manner that is
absolutely wonderful toward both dogs and humans! Never condescending, but always professionally assertive, Shelley has taught us so much and we will always be grateful that we met her." Frank and Betsy Fonseca
"Shelley provided invaluable advice in managing our dog’s on-leash behavior. She came up with great exercises to desensitize him and introduce him to a variety of situations. She had so many simple tips on how to handle different situations and even put together tip sheets and additional exercises to try outside our normal lessons. It’s given us much more confidence in handling him – it’s made a huge difference for all of us!"
