We adopted Midge an 8 year old Shih Tzu that was piddling in the house. Ana came over worked with her, gave us suggestions for her to give us signs. While training Ana is communicative, gentle with our newest addition. Highly recommend Dahl Dog Training if you have a dog that is having house training issues

Wonderful demeanor with all humans and dogs. Love to have Ana in our home.
Ana is a great trainer and is helping my daughter train her poodle for basic training and once he is good with that we hope to continue to work with Ana on service dog training. She is a great listener to the issues we are having and helps problem solve and redirect the negative behaviors in a positive way. Our dog loves to see Ana when she comes over for training.
Ana is knowledgeable, patient and kind with our puppy and us, we are learning along with him. Highly recommend Dahl Dog Training!
Ana Dahl has helped so much with my reactive dog. He is happier and more relaxed from our two months of positive enforcement training with Ana, and I have tools to manage his reactivity. Ana has been wonderful for both of us.
