I cant say enough good things about Shadow Training Academy and Deric! From day one, he has been incredibly communicative, professional, and genuinely invested in helping both of my dogs. His pricing is also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of care, knowledge, and results he provides.Both of my dogs have shown **immense improvement** since starting training, and it has been amazing to see the difference in their behavior and confidence.What has shocked me the most is the progress Deric has made with my male dog, Frankie. Before training, Frankie was aggressive and extremely selective about who he trusted he really only liked me. I honestly wasnt sure how much things could change, but Deric has worked patiently and consistently with him, and the difference has been incredible. Seeing Frankie become more comfortable, responsive, and willing to interact has been beyond what I expected.Deric has been professional, patient, communicative, and clearly knows how to work with dogs with different personalities and challenges. Im genuinely so impressed with his work and couldnt be happier with the progress both of my dogs are making.If youre looking for a dog trainer who truly cares about the dogs he works with and delivers results, I highly recommend Shadow Training Academy and Deric!

Deric is an extremely knowledgeable young man who has really helped not just train my Saint Bernard but also correct my own behaviors and miscues with him. My Saint had pretty bad fear reactivity with strangers, and even after just three sessions so far hes improved so much. Derics passion and his knowledge are palpable and it shows in his work. If youre looking for someone to help you and your dog I cannot recommend Shadow Training Academy enough. Truly remarkable work.

Shadow Training Academy changed my life & transformed my dogs behavior. The bond Deric helped me get with my dog is irreplaceable. My dog also loves him & I love the relationship they have. You can tell how passionate he is about dogs & helping owners. Anyone looking to get their dog trained, look no further.
