shadow experience

Los Angeles: Ocotber 18th-24th 2021

new Orleans: November 4th-10th & November 11th-17th

We’ve completely overhauled our shadow program, and the results have been amazing! The program is limited to 4 shadows for 7 (very long!) days with Sean and the Los Angeles team. Sean dives deep into all aspects of training, covering reactivity, fear, and aggression issues; along with our general training program using food, markers, prong, and e-collar work.
You get all the details on client drop-offs/go-home strategies and approaches, our safety protocols, client homework/prep, and the systems we’ve created that ensure things run smoothly, along with in-depth business/marketing strategies, plus a daily Q&A with Sean and the team.

You’ll be included in all the daily training and client interactions, team meetings, daily problem solving, and organization—so you’ll be seeing how the entire TGD “machine” works.

The program is custom-tailored to each attendee, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced. Our goal is to help you reach your goals, whatever they might, on all fronts: training, business, and life.

 All of our shadow programs are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis, are extremely limited, and sell out very fast. Contact us now for more information & to sign up.

“If you are a dog trainer, you should be at The Good Dog Shadow.  Yeah, it doesn’t really get any better than this.  The amount of training information is formidable.  The visuals, up close and personal are thrilling.  There’s nothing quite like seeing your instructor handle 120 pounds of bad attitude.  And Sean O’Shea himself is hard to pin down.  He’s 100 percent patient.  He meets each participant where they are while guiding the group to greater heights.  He’s a little bit life coach and a lot of expert dog trainers.  I cannot do justice in words to the depth of the experience.”
