Shell is hands down the best dog trainer ever! She trained my service dog Tater as a hearing dog. Tater alerts me to sounds, cars, people, and so much more. Shell was patient with me as the handler and an overprotective dog mom. Shell also was amazing teaching not only my service dog but also me. She is very communicative and effective and thorough. I can't help but praise her overall professionalism and how so has embraced my dog and our family.\n\nShell also matched my husband with a service dog. Comet is the sweet boy who provides deep pressure therapy and blocks for when my husband is in crowded areas.\n\nOur family is in debt to Shell and ProTrain for making our family inclusive and they continue to provide support.\n\nComet goes with us everywhere and has gone to Disneyland.\nTater goes with me to school and to doctors appointments.\n\nWe are lucky to have found such an amazing trainer and business.\n\nShell you are a part of our happy family.\n\n🤟🦮🦮🤟🐚🐚🐚🐚

We took our golden doodle for obedience training. He’s such a different dog now, he listens and follows commands. We are so happy with the outcome. Our trainer Shell was super patient and taught us what we needed to know in order to follow up with our puppy.

We adopted our 4 year old pit mix Chanel 2 years ago. She was a rescue and not socialized much by the previous owners. She has been attacked a few times by some neighborhood dogs out here in Vista Ca when we go on walks. She is overly aggressive with large dogs and wants to fight. We brought her to Pro-Train to get some discipline and get her over some of her insecurities towards other dogs. The staff did a great job working with her and teaching us how to properly reinforce positive behavior and correct her aggressive behavior. She is so much better on leash now and we understand her triggers and how to correct them quickly before she over reacts. She is still a work in progress but after 4 weeks at their facility she has made so much progress. My wife is now confident that she can take Chanel on walks and handle her without concern. We highly recommend Pro-Train if you dog is not behaving properly, you will learn so much and become a better pack leader. - Paul & Mary Jane

I don't even know where to start. In October 2021, we brought home our 8 week old Vizsla puppy. We barely got through the sleep and potty training but we were wanting just basic good manners training. We were referred to Pro-Train by my cousin, and we got way more than basic good manners. He is such a well behaved puppy now, it's made such a huge difference in our house. Pro-Train makes it a point to not just train our dogs but they take the time to train the humans. It has been a game changer for us. Everyone at Pro-Train has been amazing but I will call out Shell, she's been great with not just our puppy, she is great with us, the humans, too. She was always willing to explain something to us over and over, her patience with us (and the puppy) is amazing. We didn't just get 3 weeks of training, the consistent follow up visits are fantastic, because it keeps us accountable. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend Pro-Train!!!

Great team of trainers and wonderful human beings. All have superb knowledge and patience and obviously a love of their job and dogs! Communication, consistency and structure are apex at Pro-Train.\nMike has a sensible and pleasant style of guidance, advice and knowledge which will be taken to heart by all of us. He clarified and always answered all of our questions, and also presented meaningful analogies. What more could anyone ask for in an owner, leader and trainer ?! Shell has an awesome demeanor for instructing and training. She is talented, insightful, kind, considerate and firm. She has instilled in my "Boot Camp Recruits" a firm basis for structure that we will aspire to build upon. Josh and Rhett are valuable additions to the strong team.\nThank You for all your hard work!\nJeanne Brewer.....Boomer, Nikki and Aspen Brewer too!!!
