Daniel Dagg, Bay Area Dog Trainer

Daniel Dagg is definitely a professional at what he does. With his method of coaching, he doesn't just give you a cookie cutter approach that you can find on social media or youtube. He will actually diagnosis your dogs symptoms and more importantly your behaviors. He really helped me with my 2 year old frenchie who repeatedly redirected and bite me. She was not socialized correctly, and I learned that I spoiled her rotten. With his guidance, she has no longer redirected onto me, and we are working with her being less insecure and aggressive around other dogs. If you are worried about the cost, I would say it is worth the money. He will be available via phone almost anytime that you need him. I would recommend anyone to Dan and I wish I found him sooner.

Dan is a miracle worker! His approach worked so well for me from beginning to end! So much so that today, I was able to take my dog, Bear, to the vet for his first nail trim after nail surgery a few weeks back. Nail touch and trim have historically been traumatic events for Bear, until today. Today, I brought Bear's muzzle and peanut to the vet tech appt. I was able to put the muzzle on with ease. Bear was fully engaged in licking the inside of the muzzle as the tech took him back with ease and without upset. The tech was so amazed, she asked to take the peanut butter back in case it was needed. Bear returned with a wagging tail. I immediately took the muzzle off as the tech reported the details of the visit to me. Bear was calm and happy. This was the first time I witnessed this at the vet...ever! (Bear is 7 yrs old). I can't thank or recommend Dan enough! I am finally a leader of my dog pack. My pups trust me, which has decreased their anxiety, they snuggle more now, even sleep close to one another, are kinder to each other and respond to the word "no" when I use it with the proper tone, as taught. My household is more peace filled and calmer for all. All thanks to Dan!

My dog bit me so I looked for a good behaviorist and ended up finding Daniel Dagg. Since the first appointment, I noticed a huge difference in her behavior. He ended up helping us with our other dog as well, and he didn't charge more for an additional dog. They've made leaps and bounds since they're first session and I know now how to continue improving their behavior. The original problem dog has showed no more signs of aggression or that she could bite. I definitely recommend him!

My 2 dogs were a complete mess. I called not really thinking he could help. From the first visit, I felt supported and empowered to help my dogs be the best they could be. We learned how to be patient and consistent. After a week, I felt so much more confident and my dogs were behaving a thousand times better. I learned how to be a good leader and to communicate effectively with my dogs. After 2 months of continuous training and support from my trainer, I now feel that I can handle things. If I ever have a question or a concern I can easily contact him and get answers. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this place! I have 2 complex dogs who came to me with problems and now are model citizens. Well Candi will still need more work, but I now know what to do.
