Belle Shain Kennels & Farm

"Please be careful here - they kept our dog to assess her for 24 hours (no charge yet) then lost her. Several people have reached out to me voicing their same concerns and experiences as posted on Facebook."

"Thanks to the direction of Frank and Julius at Belle Shain Kennels, my dog is not the same dog that would gleefully run away while I helplessly called after her. Now my dog has learned to come when called, whether there is a leash on her or not. Frank and Julius even went the extra mile to help desensitize my dog to cats and also to chickens. I was welcomed to practice off-leash recalls at the farm even on days in which we did not have a formal lesson which helped provide a safe environment. To top it all off, Frank took the time and energy to evaluate my dog for the AKC's Community Canine and Urban Canine Good Citizen tests. My dog passed them both and no doubt the serious work we did at Belle Shain Kennels set us up for success with the tests as well."

"Very pleased with Frank, Jamie, and all the great people at Belle Shain!! I contacted Frank when I was about at my wit’s end with our puppy, Cross. He was biting/chewing excessively (on me mostly), he was unable to walk on a leash, and he was just not doing well. Within a matter of weeks, Frank and his team have taught Cross how to behave better, he has learned commands, and he is a more pleasant dog to be around. I can tell Cross loves being at Belle Shain, too. He enjoys playing with other dogs, running around, and swimming in the river. Definitely helpful for training and burning off all of that puppy energy!"

"Great training and boarding program! Our dog spent about 3 months with Frank working on general obedience and then progressing from there. He is very knowledgeable and patient, incorporating training sessions with my husband and I throughout the months as well. Our dog enjoyed her time there! During her time there our dog also required some vet attention (preexisting issue) and Frank did not hesitate to get her into his vet for care. Would definitely recommend Frank and his training program to other dog owners!"
