Barks of Approval

 “Dale, Niko has been amazing!  He is like a new dog and I give you all of the credit.  Your knowledge and information you shared with us has turned him into a new dog!  He obeys commands, gives up what he is not supposed to have if he’s caught with it and no growling or snapping! He knows he’ll get a good treat if listens! He’s also been great when we have guests…he’s much less nervous and we tell everyone to let him come to them.  We can’t thank you enough for your help.  If we need you again in the future, we will be sure to be in contact.”

 “We have an extremely hyper and intelligent Kelpie who happens to have a tendency to guard. Without Dale and her infinite wisdom and understanding, along with her ability to teach even the most dense of guardians (my husband and I knew NOTHING ) saved our relationship with our precious girl. Our outrageous pup was even in our wedding! Everyone who met her before her training couldn’t believe how well mannered she was! Just goes to show what a good teacher can accomplish!”

“Dale was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Nudo. First of all, Nudo LOVED her and looked forward to our Friday training days. And second of all, we loved Dale! She taught Nudo to be such a good little puppy. Every training exercise trained both us and Nudo together. I could see his behavior improving each week, even beyond mastering the training exercises. We now have a 5 month old puppy who people compliment over and over, and he brings so much joy to our little family. Thank you, Dale! We couldn't have survived those early puppy days without you.” Courtney from Norfolk, VA

“I have a Weimaraner puppy and knew I would need help training a dog that is head strong. After looking around the area I found Dale’s website and liked the positive training methods she talked about. I signed up for 5 private training sessions. I believe that this was one of the best investments I could have made in my dog. After one session with Dale, I was able to handle the puppy better and I started seeing changes in her bad behavior within days. I have now gone through 4 sessions and I am still just as happy. I get compliments on how well behaved my puppy is and I now know how to handle puppy issues properly. I highly recommend Dale’s  training to anyone with a dog.”

  “I thought our Lab Sam was a juvenile delinquent, but Dale came to the rescue. Within 5 minutes of meeting Sam she had him doing anything she wanted him to do. I couldn’t believe it was Sam responding to her like that. The training was 5% for Sam and 95% for me. The at-home-training worked great for us. Thanks Dale!!” 

John from Chesapeake, VA

“Dale is a wonderful trainer. She has the ability to explain things and answer questions with kindness and positivity. By working with Dale we have learned that by changing our behavior it will result in a change in our boy’s behavior. Dale never gets frustrated with us or our boy and spends as much time as it takes to get it right. She also makes the journey fun. It is not an overnight process and it takes time, energy, and a lot of hard work. Nevertheless the changes we have seen in our boy in the last 2 months have been amazing. He is truly a different dog and I am sure a much happier one as well.”
