Dacia has been working with my German Shepard since she was about 12 weeks old. My GSD is now 3 yrs old. Dacia gave us great advice and behavior training over those three yrs. Recently, we had Dacia house/dog/cat sit while we were out of town for a week. I have nothing but praise for Dacia. My dogs and cat were extremely well cared for and the house was in better condition than when we left. I would highly recommend Dacia for young to old dog training. She’s patient, innovative and very solid in her approach. Dacia’s prices are very reasonable and she will give you all the tips you’ll need for a very well behaved animal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A+++++♾️🤌🏼

Dacia worked with my dog Soul daily while I was put of town, after a week away I came home to a Happy dog. Usually he is stressed and reactive the first week I am back, this time I came home to a better behaved dog.
She sent pictures of him smiling on his daily walks/training sessions, such a great touch. I would highly recommend her.

Our experience with Dacia's Dog Training was great! She really took her time to allow our reactive German Shepherd Husky mix (Merritt)get to know her. She was the first trainer to actually work with Merritt and was able to get great results with taking Merritt to the store for the first time! She's the first person Merritt has ever allowed to touch her outside of our house hold, I think that says a lot about Dacia with how she is able to connect with animals! I definitely recommend Dacia's Dog Training for anyone with a reactive dog!

I think Dacia is amazing! I had never worked with a trainer before and my dog had leash reaction issues. Dacia is very personable and was very patient answering all my questions and showing me how to work with my dog in a positive way. He learned much quicker than I expected and I'm positive it is the strategy she used with him. I looked at several trainers and her prices are l very reasonable. I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to be work with her and would highly recommend her to if you need a trainer. I will certainly use her if I have need in the future.

Dacia was so caring and worked so well with our dogs/puppies!! You can tell she really loves animals. They had fun while boarding with her - she sent us pictures and videos while we were away. It was so comforting 💕. Made them delicious turkeys treats and meals and even sent them home with more treats (their own little doggie bags). Will definitely be using her again! Wonderful experience. (Very good rates as well)
