Struggling with Inappropriate Behaviour?
Teach your Dog Good Canine Manners!
As a Certified TTouch Practitioner II and Canine Consultant, Diane believes every animal is an individual and must be worked with using cooperation and understanding in place of dominance, fear and force. Diane’s passion is educating people about dog behavior, helping them to understand canine language and giving them alternative solutions to deal with behavioral issues and health problems.
For more than 20 years, Diane has lived with, studied and trained companion animals. Working respectfully without force, Diane uses a combination of Positive Reward and Tellington TTouch training techniques. Dogs are truly her passion and life's inspiration!
"Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened"
Anatole France

CLIENT FEEDBACK
Roxie, the big chocolate Lab puppy, with no self-control or social skills. Since taking classes with Diane, she is a new and improved dog. Everyone remarks how much better behaved and in control she is.
Heather Wright with Roxie
As a puppy, our English Mastiff, Adonis, was totally undisciplined. On a referral from our vet, we enrolled him in Diane's puppy kindergarten class hoping for ANY improvement. The class offered alternate ways to handle any problem and we soon learned that our dogs really did want to please us. At the end of training, Adonis had calmed down and was responding very well. Diane's training is based on love and rewards, rather than on fear. She is definitely an 'animal person' and that's why we love and respect her so much.
Janis Cronk with Adonis
Thank you Diane!!!
Suzanne Hutchinson, Breeder with Ralph
Excellent instruction on basic commands such as sit, stay and leave it. By the end of the first lesson, our puppy already had the beginnings of a "good dog"! It's fun learning for both owner and pet.

It was because of Diane’s classes that Sandy and I bonded. Prior to the class she was untrusting. She would growl on occasion if I was too much in her comfort zone and she didn't listen very well. After a few classes she was listening well and seemed intent on pleasing me. No more growling, and much more affectionate. Now I can do anything with her - even take away a raw beef bone without trouble.
Haidee Weldon and Sandy
Taking classes with Diane has been a great learning experience not only for T-Bone but for me as well. Diane has a very calming way of dealing with dogs and with their owners and it gets the results that you want. As a young puppy I knew that T-Bone was going to be a large Rottweiler and to put fears to rest I decided to enroll in some classes, I have seen the difference they have made with T-Bone and he has matured a lot because of this.
