Testimonials

“10/10!!! After exhausting every Youtube video and trying every effort on our own to help our reactive dog, we sought out professional help. After just two sessions with Diana, he was already showing so much improvement! He used to bark at everything that moved, pull on the leash to the point of choking himself, and walks were stressful. Now, we can take him on hikes, to parks, even to busy places like the Americana and parks and he looks to US for guidance. His barking has stopped completely, and walks are something we can look forward to! He is a 10 month old Chihuahua mix. I recommend Diana to anyone looking for immediate change to their dog’s behavior. Don’t let the price of dog training push you away…the value of what you get is 100% worth it. Diana was amazing to work with. She is so sweet and professional. We are our older dog there next! The best part of this experience is that not only do we have a more obedient dog, but our dog is happier with structure and less anxious outside the home. His well-being is important to us, and I feel confident that this training was the best thing we could have ever done for him!”
– Morgan J.

“Diana is an amazing trainer who is highly knowledgeable, patient and very supportive. She provides easily digestible lessons and homework, is very quick to answer questions in between sessions so each session feels like a seamless continuation of the last. In 8 short weeks, we have made more progress than we have in the last 3 years!! We’re so happy with our experience and thankful for a trainer who changed the way we lived life with our dog.”
– June L.

“We just finished our training with Diana a month ago and I want to say it was one of the best investments I have made in my life. I have a 3-year old Husky named Uni. She is a good dog but has lots of energy and was never trained besides sit and stay. She had no leash manners, jumped on people and didn’t know how to relax unless she was dead tired. Diana not only taught a lot about how to communicate with Uni but also a lot about how I was unknowingly training her to do the opposite of what I actually wanted. During our training session, we worked on place, down-stay, off leash recall/heel and desensitization. Now Uni gets to hike off leash and never runs away. She has a daily training schedule and doesn’t get free food anymore. I definitely feel our bond is much stronger than before. So glad I decided to pursue training because Diana showed us how to set Uni up for success. I would highly HIGHLY recommend her for all of your dog training needs!”
