Dana is an excellent trainer. I would recommend her to anyone who needs basic training for their new puppies or correction techniques for bad behaviors and habits. She is straight forward with advice for us owners who need more training than our dogs. My 6 mth GSD is fantastic when i follow through with her tips and tricks consistently and dont let her forget she knows how to act. Thanks Dana. I look forward to joining in on the pack walks.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dana and her skills in working with dogs. I came to her with a little 8 lb. Maltese foster pup. This little dog needed an entire mind shift. Dana, with constructive criticism let me know what I did too early with my rescue dog and we moved forward from there. I had experience with training and we communicated on a regular basis and Ms. May is now on a two-week trial as the only dog in the home. May was the talk of the neighborhood and how far she had come from them first seeing her! Thank you Dana! Lynn for the Animals Rescue owes you more than we can give! Thank you for spending the time and helping us get May to where she is today.
If you are looking for a patient, honest trainer that evaluates and sets up a plan of action and makes sure that us humans are trained too! Dana is you best choice!

Dana showed me, an experienced owner who took our previous chocolate lab thru 50+ weeks of training, a new approach to higher level partnership with our labradoodles on topics such as anxiety, recognizing when your dog is alerting, proper ways to introduce new dogs into your clan and so much more. She is a legend and you can tell by the respect she is shown in the pit bull training community.
It’s not just the dogs that need to change, Dana challenges you to be better owner in order that you and your pets lead the happiest, most stress free life together.
Lastly Dana is always available for questions and suggestions no matter where you live.

Working with Dana has been fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and has helped my dog with fears of going outside. Exercises we need to do to get her back to the way she used to be, coupled with nutrition suggestions have helped tremendously. Thank you Dana for your knowledge, expertise and compassion for the animals. I highly recommend her!
