Testimonial:
My husband and I live in the Northwest Territories with our three young lab/shepherd mixes. Bringing our dogs to Shalah's whenever we travel or come down south to buy supplies has been the best thing we've done for our pets. Shalah offers excellent boarding facilities and one-on-one interaction with our dogs; since bringing our three dogs to Howlin' Good Times, we have seen a marked improvement in their confidence and socialization with other dogs and people. Most importantly, though, my husband and I have benefited greatly by spending time with Shalah and our dogs during obedience training. These sessions inevitably turn into dog- and human-training sessions, as Shalah helps us to understand and communicate with our dogs so much better, and equips us to continue her good work after we leave Drayton Valley and return home.
My husband and I are extremely grateful for Shalah's expertise, honesty, friendliness, and for the peace of mind that comes with leaving our "family" with someone in whom we have 100% confidence. We can't thank her enough!

Just a short note to say Thanks so very much for the amazing work that you did with Meya. She has been with us from Saskatoon to Rocky Mountain House and all places in between and has "WOWED" everyone with her manners and obedience. She is sitting/down/stay while people walk within an inch of her nose and she will not even flinch. Once again thank you for everything you have taught her and us.

Well we fell in love with our little girl before we even left your driveway. We've been a busy family....
Last night we didn't get much sleep...she isn't really happy with our choice in housing (kennel) :) This morning we took her to the vet (everybody there feel in love with her) and she came home with a clean bill of health. We have our next deworming scheduled for June and maybe some more shots (there was so much going on :) Our cat Jinx and Ellie are getting along pretty well. Ellie loves running around with Jinx cat toys, and Jinx loves running after Ellie with her cat toys. I think that they will become great friends.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that we are very happy with Ellie. You've done a fabulous job and it was a real pleasure dealing with yourself and Jean (what a wonderful lady!!)
Thanks so much and we'll be in touch!

Hope all is well with you and your critters. This past year has been fun and exciting for our family. We have been training Koal to do pulling with a harness, for sledding and scootering. Check out some of the pictures. He is an amazing dog, and everyone loves him. He does great in doggy daycare, and spending time with me at the clinic during working hours.
Take care,
Tammy & Don

Macey - Maya x Simon Female Pup
Macie is doing excellent. She is house trained and noses a bell to go outside. She is also crate trained and when she goes outside for her last time before she goes to bed she comes in and runs straight to her crate and waits to go in. Her and Bailey get along great and love playing together. She is a great addition to our family. Here are a couple pictures of her.
