What clients are saying!
“The professionalism and daily updates makes this review easy to author. Firstly, Shelby is very tuned in to the dogs she is training. The ensuing results we got with our GSD “Bear” have been night and day. He is easily controllable now and is a joy to be around. Watching him progress through Shelby’s program was fun and exciting for us, knowing we would have a great family dog at the end.
Upon his return, we continued with her recommendations on how to further his skills learned during the training.
If anyone is looking for a local trainer, who will treat your dog like her own, no need to look any further; Saber K9 and trainer Shelby will net the results you’re looking for.”

“Shelby and the team at Saber K9 were outstanding. We have two goldendoodle puppies who did a board and train session with them and had terrific results. Throughout the process, there was great communication, very informative responses to all our questions, and lots of flexibility for our timing and needs. I highly recommend them and plan on sending our dogs back periodically for refresher courses. Thank you, Shelby and the entire team at Saber K9!”
— Florence and her goldendoodles Loki and Odin
“The entire Saber team has been amazing to work with. My very stubborn Shiba Inu has been somewhat of a nightmare in the training department. Shelby’s previous experience with his breed and specific behavioral problems immediately put my mind at ease. I could tell right away that she and the rest of the team were truly invested in the well being of my dog.
I cannot recommend working with Shelby enough!”
— Colby and her Shiba Inu Murphy
“Shelby was amazing with our dog Buddy! He has been in three different programs prior to starting at Saber, and he was labeled as “difficult” to train. We have already seen such an improvement after completing the first level of the Academy, and are going to continue his training with Saber K9!”
— Deanna and her Pitbull mix Buddy
“We had a great experience with Saber K9, Shelby was a fantastic trainer, our dog Obie was at a 2 week board and train and has already learned so much! We recommend them to everyone and will continue working with them”
— Brandy and her hound mix Obie
“I signed my 5 y/o rescue pup up for a three week academy, as he was having a lot of issues in the city with leash reactivity including charging at traffic and being reactive to other dogs walking by. I noticed an improvement within two days of sessions, and quite honestly am blown away. Shelby and team was fantastic working with him, and I didn’t expect to have the results I did. We have been walking in high traffic areas that I previously would avoid at all costs with no reactivity and a happy dog taking treats from me for being a good boy. Thank you all so much for your work with him and couldn’t recommend Saber K9 enough!!”
— Melinda and her beagle mix Cash
“Saber K9 in Worcester provides an incredible service worth every penny. Shelby at Saber K9 has worked with my Rottweiler puppy, Kaiser, from the start. She genuinely cares for Kaiser and he loves seeing her. After two board and train sessions with Shelby, I have so much freedom and confidence with Kaiser. Everywhere we go I am complimented by how well Kaiser is behaving (including off leash!).
The ability to say “place!” And have Kaiser reliably go to his spot is such a godsend. Shelby provides us with so much wisdom and insight on how best to train and care for Kaiser. I cannot recommend Shelby more to be the person to trust with your fur baby.
She goes above and beyond and for your dog. Best part - she takes INCREDIBLE videos and pictures of your dog almost daily. I treasure every one of those photos as she manages to capture the essence of my dog in a way I never have. Go with Shelby and Saber K9.”
— John with his Rottweiler Kaiser
“Shelby is a wonderful trainer, we saw challenges in our dog from the start. Shelby does an excellent job training dogs <3. She is very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. We loved our experience and the confidence and attitude our dog Lagada has after completing the puppy and advanced training is exceptional. Videos and pictures you get of the dogs going through the training is a perfect way to see the progress. Our dog is always excited to see Shelby again, it tells us all we need to know. Thank you for service to our dog and our family”
— Julia and her malinois Lagada
