Who am I?
My name is Shelby O’Neil and I am the trainer behind Compassionate Canine. As a child, I always had a passion for animals. I took this enthusiasm to the next level by graduating from Canisius College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Behavior. Shortly after graduating, I focused my attention on working with dogs. I obtained my Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) status and after several years of experience working with and training dogs, it led me to where I am today!
