I am a huge fan of raw and fresh food (homemade) diets. Many benefits for many dogs! But sometimes we find a light cook may be an option we need to consider. I am an affiliate for Volhard Dog Nutrition & can consult with you on what your dog may need. The foods are ordered online & delivered directly to your door. I am certified in K9 Nutrition & able to help you sort out the best options to consider for your pet. Thanks for asking!

I’ve engaged with Dana in many aspects, she was a trainer for a rescue group I was volunteering with. My foster dog went through her board and train program. Not only was it helpful for the dog but it was a great learning experience for me! I’ve put many of her training tools in place over the years! She also follows up and provides refreshers if needed, which is an important part of dog training. I also use Volhard dog food and she’s been a great resource for my personal dog who has allergies and lots of other ailments that in the beginning were hard to manage but with her expertise and knowledge we’ve been able to work through many of the issues my dog has had. I’ve also transitioned to a clean home environment with the use of essential oils and Young Living Products. I’ve learned the raindrop technique for dogs from her and I’ve just recently done a Zyto scan through her and I’m eager to start putting the plan in place. Overall Dana is a wealth of knowledge, she explains things in ways to help you understand, she follows up and follows through. Your pets, and you, will greatly benefit from working with her!

Rosie is our foster dog we got this summer. She had been kept pretty isolated from everyone except her previous owner. She was 40 pounds overweight and anxious. She even had urine leakage while sleeping. After a scary incident meeting another dog on a walk, I realized both Rosie and I would benefit from some behavior modification. I contacted several trainers. Dana was easily the most professional and responsive. Because of Rosie’s aggression towards other dogs, classes with other dogs was not an option. Dana came to our home and worked with us. She also suggested some diet changes and nutritional supplements. Rosie has lost 25 pounds. She no longer unconsciously urinates. Her coat is sleek and she is getting a waistline. She knows basic commands and goes for long walks every day. She greets everyone we meet. The best part: she is still anxious about other dogs, but improving. She can walk along with other dogs. We go out in public, and although she gets excited, fighting is not her first reaction any longer. None of this would have been possible without Dana’s help. Rosie is a much more content, healthy, and stable dog

Dana is amazing with dogs and is an awesome resource for a whole plethora of things pertaining to your pets health and wellness! She has helped our doggie out with numerous issues and has remained in contact with us for years.....always reaching out to lend a hand and offer advice. Dana has helped our dog out with separation anxiety training, tips, and suggestions; as well as guiding us with regard to proper feeding and nutrition by eating "real food" verses "dog food". She has also taught us how to use essential oils to help calm our doggie and make him happy, healthy, and whole! Dana has many resources available online (live videos/lectures/links) where she personally teaches about wellness, nutrition, behavioral issues, obedience, grooming, oils/CBD, homeopathy/supplements, etc! Dana has become our friend through the years and she is an awesome resource for your dogs health and happiness! Our Baxter loves Dana and her sweet doggies. We highly recommend her!
