About Shane Tyler

~Shane's Goal~

To restore the canine's good name.

If someone is "treated like a dog",

it shouldn't be seen as an insult;

dogs are supposed to be man's best friend.

    I had always had a love for animals and dogs especially.  Growing up my family had a dog, Princess,  that lived to a ripe old age of 17 years old.  About a decade passed before the next dog my family owned entered my life, a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky named Beihr.  Months after we had gotten him I adopted a dog of my own, a young Jack Russell/Red Heeler by the name of Fydget who was a yoyo dog; thing was, rather than going back and forth from owner to shelter to owner and back to the shelter again, he was passed from shelter to shelter for over a year of his young year and a half old life.   When I adopted him however I made him the promise that he would have a permanent home, so I struggled through his problems.

That's when I came across this technique and I decided to attend the Foundation Course taught by Jan Fennell in November 2007, however that September I had to deal with a terrible blow.   Beihr was met with tragedy, and passed away.  Soon after we adopted Tuttles, an Australian Shepherd/Terrier mix.  I went to the Foundation course, within a month after I acquired my Lily. 

              

     I was shortly after invited to attend Jan's Advanced Course and went to England in June of 2008, and became a qualified dog listener.  In October of 2008 I began fostering a border collie/heeler cross named Sonya.  She had an abusive past and was terrified of men and children in particular, when I got her home I bent over to pick something off the ground near her, immediately she threw herself to the ground and belly crawled away.  Within a matter of days she was already learning to trust again, she began to sleep near my side, and even began to try to play with me.  Of course she became a permanent addition to the pack, and has come such a long way, the shelter didn't even recognize her when they saw her several months later.  In May of 2010, I took on a young foster puppy, Nemo.  An inbred Blue Heeler who was born without front legs, and get to watch Canine Conversations at work with disabilities.

              

    I have no doubt that, and can confidently say that if applied correctly, Canine Conversations will help you have completely calm and stress free dogs, and all without the use of force or gadgets.

Sonya, once a dog scared of the world, now likes to watch tv on the couch while Lily and Fydget sleep.
