About Shaylah’s Canine Commands, LLC

Shaylah's K-9 Commands is a Forestville training business whose published range runs from first-puppy work to service dogs. Its own placement line is unambiguous: "Located in Forestville, NY, we proudly serve dog owners throughout Western New York (and service dogs across the nation)."

What it offers

The site carries four named service pages – Puppy Training, Obedience Training, Therapy Dog Training and Service Dog Training – and the About page lists the work in one sentence: "For all breeds of dogs, we offer basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification, problem solving, Therapy Dog training and certification, Canine Good Citizen, Service Dogs, and can help locate the right dog for your wants or needs." That last clause is unusual for a training business and worth knowing about: selection help is offered as a service in its own right.

How the training is run

Instruction is individual. "Your dog is taught essential commands through engaged training, which is done one on one," the About page says, "[which] allows us to focus on your dog's individual behavior modification needs." The published emphasis is on transfer rather than obedience-ring polish – clear communication between dog and owner, structured methods, and practice in everyday environments.

Working dogs

The therapy-dog and service-dog side is not a sideline: the site frames it as the thing that raises the standard of the pet work, saying that working with therapy and service dogs gives "experience with the highest levels of canine behavior standards." Therapy-dog certification and Canine Good Citizen are both handled in house.
