Diana brings out the best in us and our dogs, patiently teaching us how to observe our dogs and understand their needs while we are learning together. Diana has studied with the best animal behaviorists and trainers around the world and generously shares her knowledge with her students. Her classes are fun, stimulating and rewarding. We have learned to advocate for our dog and communicate with her. Working with Diana, Koli, our rescue Belgian Malinois just passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen test, a major milestone for a beau... read more

Diana is an exceptional trainer. Her facility is top-notch and makes training in the winter pleasant. The thing that separates Diana from other trainers we’ve worked with, is her emphasis on positive reinforcement, and helping us really communicate with our dog. Our rescued Belgian Malinois is doing great and we’re more comfortable taking her places and being in public with her. We are grateful for Diana’s advice and guidance every week.

Diana's approach using the most current positive-reinforcement training methods have helped me and my dog immensely. Each lesson, whether virtual or at her beautiful and safe training facility, we come away with valuable and fun new skills. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

A literal LIFESAVER! Diana has solved one of the biggest crisis situations I have ever encountered in my life. Due to my own mistake, I was poorly informed about the laws in Europe/outside USA, and realized that I won't be able to travel with my service dog Felix (who is a standard poodle, just fyi) on any flight that is not directly from/to United States. So, even though it is part a of the same itinerary, a flight Europe-Europe falls under different laws. I was left completely lost as to what to do. This is all happening j... read more
