Shae Slabaugh

Your Huntsville, AL Dog Trainer

Shae Slabaugh is an Illinois native who has always had a passion for working with animals. She grew up around puppies, and from a young age, Shae knew she wanted to work with them.

Looking to gain a formal education in dog training she went to the Southeast Campus at the School for Dog Trainers. After graduation, she decided to stay and further her career working with dogs in Alabama.

“I loved every minute of my time in school,” says Shae. “I fell in love with Alabama in the process. I decided pretty quickly I wanted to stay.”

Shae works with all different types of dogs from basic obedience to behavior modification and everything in between. She also really enjoys working with puppies and credits them for teaching her patience when first learning to train dogs.

“Puppies are a favorite for me because, of course, they are cute – but I think if more people get their puppy trained, less dogs will end up in a shelter because they are “too much” for their owners.”

Our trainers offer a wide variety of group dog training classes. This is perfect for socializing your dog in a safe environment. Meeting other pups and different people in a group class setting helps your dog to adapt to new environments and learn new skills.

Our curriculum includes basic obedience, advanced obedience, foundational search and rescue, scent work and puppy classes among others. These classes typically run for six weeks, with classes taking place once a week.

Our private lessons and behavior modification programs help you to achieve the results you need with your dog. 

With private lessons, our trainers come to your home once per week. Following an initial evaluation, our trainers use their knowledge and experience to develop an action plan to help you achieve your goals. We place importance on teaching owners the best way to maintain these behaviors for the future. 

All of our training programs are guaranteed and include free follow-up training for the life of the dog.

We are proud to offer Board & Train programs for our clients in the Huntsville, AL area.

Our Board & Train programs allow you to leave your dog with our professional dog trainer for three or six weeks. During that time, we will work with your dog on a daily basis to resolve problematic behaviors. When you pick up your dog, we’ll show you how to maintain your dog’s new behaviors.

Contact Shae for more information on our Board and Train programs. Our evaluations are free and our training programs are guaranteed for the life of the dog.
