Sheena Neil, and Keystone Training, is dedicated to using and promoting humane training methods, maintaining a professional manner, and treating all clients with respect.
​
Our goal is to help educate the responsibilities of pet ownership and offer information on canine physical and emotional well-being.
We believe all animals should be treated with kindness and fairness, regardless of species, breed, or past experience.
​
Working with animals in their comfort zone is our top priority, never pushing an animal into something they are not ready for or are uncomfortable doing.
We strive to earn the trust of all animals we encounter and work to maintain that trust.

Meet Symka
Redbone Coonhound
Symka joined Keystone Dog Training at the age of 13 weeks in January 2010. She is the official mascot and guinea pig.
​
She has zero official education, but she is passionate about what she does: look good and test the treats.
​
She enjoys sunshine, sunbathing, walking in the sunshine, sniffing, and holding down her dog bed. Because... hound!
​
Symka is also extremely passionate about Timbits, Popcorn Chicken, and anything else relatively edible, and somethings that aren't.
