Confident k9 Macon
How Confident K9 Began
I’m Shelby Browning and my adventure into dog training commenced in 2016 with the arrival of a spirited blue heeler pup named Bleu. I soon discovered the challenges were more than I anticipated and urgently sought assistance! By the age of 4 months, Bleu began to show severe behavioral problems, including aggression towards other dogs and people. In desperation, I reached out to the shelter, which connected me with a local trainer in the Macon area.
This encounter sparked a newfound passion within me for dog training.
Starting my journey as an apprentice, I dedicated six years to learning at Serenity K9, where I refined my skills and absorbed invaluable knowledge under their expert direction. This experience laid the foundation for Confident K9, which was established to empower pet owners in Macon through tailored in-home training sessions. These sessions are designed to address behavioral issues and the specific challenges of our local neighborhood directly. Reach out to us now to explore how we can uniquely support you!
