Tioga is in my core service area — I am based in Newberry, minutes away. Zero travel fees, same-day flexibility, and a trainer who uses Tioga Town Center as a regular proofing ground — because that is where your dog actually needs to perform.
Most trainers listing Tioga are commuting from Gainesville. I live and work in Newberry — right next door. That difference shows up in response time, pickup schedules, and what I can honestly offer.
Tioga is core service area. No travel surcharges, no mileage fees, no minimum visit costs — just training priced for what it is.
Tioga Town Center is one of my regular training locations. Foot traffic, outdoor dining, shops — real-world distractions that build real-world reliability.
Sessions are scheduled when they work for you. Limited availability means focused, quality training — not a factory.
When your trainer is five minutes away, rescheduling is simple. Less friction means more consistent training — and consistency is what produces results.
Highland Canine's 6-month Master Dog Trainer Program — 960+ hours, 35+ assessed practicals. The highest-level local credential in the region.
Foundation obedience, advanced distraction proofing, behavior modification, and off-leash freedom. Shane determines the right fit after meeting your dog.
Every program starts with an evaluation at your home. No driving to Gainesville, no travel fee.
Tioga is a well-kept planned community with a walkable Town Center, active residents, and dogs everywhere. That combination — dense foot traffic, outdoor dining, other dogs, cyclists, kids — is exactly the kind of environment where training either holds or falls apart.
Tioga Town Center is one of my regular proofing locations. We do not just train in your backyard and call it done. If your dog needs to walk calmly past the restaurant patio, sit while you grab a coffee, or hold a down-stay when another dog crosses the parking lot — we practice that. In that exact spot.
For off-leash reliability and distraction training at a higher level, I work in open, controlled settings — building the kind of recall and focus that holds when it counts.
No. Tioga is in my core service area — I am based in Newberry, minutes away. Zero travel fees for evaluations or in-home private lessons. No mileage add-ons, no minimum visit fees.
Yes. Tioga Town Center is one of my regular proofing locations. The outdoor shops, restaurants, foot traffic, and dog-friendly spaces make it ideal for building real-world leash manners and public behavior. If your dog needs to behave at the Town Center, we train there.
Sessions are scheduled by appointment at your home, Tioga Town Center, or wherever makes sense for your goals. Being minutes away in Newberry means real scheduling flexibility.
Start with an evaluation. Shane assesses your dog in person, discusses your goals, and builds a plan around what your dog actually needs. Every program is custom.
At your home. I come to you so I can see your dog in the actual environment where the problems show up: your front door, your yard, your neighborhood. That is the read that matters most, and there is no obligation to enroll. The evaluation is $100.
The evaluation is honest and takes about 30 minutes at your home. $100 in-person evaluation. I will tell you what I see and whether I am the right fit.
