He is a registered dog
breeder and a member of the Professional Dog Training Association (PDTA). He works with each dog and their
owners, on a one to one basis. Solutions are tailored to the individual needs and temperaments of the dog.
Shannon is highly regarded for his work with extremely reactive dogs and has had considerable success in
desensitizing situations for reactive dogs. This an area that is highly specialised and requires a very
competent and experienced dog trainer.
His home has been the
Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia for over 17 years. Shannon has a sincere love of animals, especially
dogs. He finds the process of teaching and training dogs very rewarding and enjoys the results of watching dogs
and their owners improve and develop closer bonds over time. He now produces quality Personal Protection Dogs
using Black German Shepherd Dogs bred specifically for this task. Shannon has several of his own dogs, and
they have been used in film work (Yindi the Last Koala), and also in protection situations for celebrities such
as John Farnham, Angry Anderson and Prime Minister, Mr John Howard.
