About SHENANDOAH K9

<h2>Training programs at Shenandoah K9</h2><p>Shenandoah K9 Training publishes a broad training menu rather than one specialty. Its home page opens with &ldquo;We offer dog training in a variety of ways, from boarding to pet obedience to Service Dogs,&rdquo; and then spells the list out: obedience &ldquo;(beginner and advanced), scent detection, search-and-rescue skills, nose work and specialty service dogs such as: diabetic alert, seizure alert, PTSD, psychiatric assistance.&rdquo; The same paragraph describes the range of dogs taken on &mdash; the site says it can work with puppies to teach basic skills through to service and other working dogs, and also with &ldquo;the furry problem children we all have at one time another.&rdquo;</p><h3>How training is delivered</h3><p>The site&rsquo;s own navigation separates the formats it books. Courses, One on One, and Board and Train in Facility Training each have their own page, Service Dogs has a page of its own with a separate SD FAQ for service-dog questions, and a &ldquo;BOOK A LESSON&rdquo; link sits at the top of the home page. Boarding is run as its own line of work alongside the training, with Daily/Nightly Boarding, Boarding Fees and The Paperwork listed as separate pages.</p><h3>Problem behavior</h3><p>Behavior problems are addressed head-on rather than left to the obedience listing. The home page asks &ldquo;Have problem dogs?&rdquo; and answers &ldquo;We can help there too. No one likes unruly, rude, pushy, destructive animals!&rdquo; The stated aim is to &ldquo;set some structure back into your dogs&rsquo; lives and bring them a little consistency,&rdquo; and the site says the changes after a few weeks &ldquo;are always striking,&rdquo; pointing readers to its own Testimonials page for client accounts.</p><h3>The setting</h3><p>Training happens on acreage rather than in a storefront. The site describes the property as &ldquo;in the hills&rdquo; on &ldquo;60 acres of ponds, creeks and woods,&rdquo; and says a dog staying there gets &ldquo;not only training and quality care, but access to hikes and country living every day.&rdquo; Clients are described as ranging widely, and the site invites enquiries from outside its immediate area.</p>
