Deep Connection K9 Academy

Diana is simply the best! My dog struggled a lot with hyperactivity and peeing inside her crate due to excitement. After a board and train session with Diana, Remi came home a completely different dog. Now she knows how to settle down on her own, relax, and even stay on "place" for over an hour. She even pees a lot less in her crate now. A board & train with Diana comes with follow-up sessions, which we used to sharpen the skills she learned during her board and train. Diana is truly the most attentive and you can tell she really cares about every one of her client dogs.

If you’re currently looking for a dog trainer, just stop now and call Diana. We just finished an 8-week in home training course with her for our 1 year old terrier. We rescued him after he had been living on the streets for a bit and he was a complete disaster. He pretty much had every issue in the book - resource guarding, pulling on the leash during walks, attacking his older doggy brother, total emotional disregulation and he didn’t listen to us at all. We started feeling a bit hopeless, but after working with Diana, he is like a new dog. He’s getting SO much better with his resource guarding, he walks so nicely and doesn’t pull, he listens to commands, plays well with his brother, and he sits in his “place” when people come to the door instead of attacking them. Diana is like a dog whisperer. She has a wonderful, professional demeanor and our dogs both loved her. She focuses on the psychology behind certain behaviors and also pointed out where we as humans can improve our behavior towards the dogs. I can’t recommend her more and am so glad we found her!

We can’t say enough good things about Diana! Our dog struggles with anxiety and has always been uncomfortable around men. Diana was patient, understanding, and knowledgeable about his specific needs. Through her training and guidance, we’ve seen a huge improvement in his confidence and comfort level. He is much more relaxed around people and has made incredible progress in situations that used to cause him stress. Diana took the time to understand his behavior and gave us the tools we needed to continue building his confidence at home. Because of the positive experience we’ve had with Diana, we’ve recently welcomed a second dog into our family and are beginning his training with her as well. We have complete confidence in her ability to help both of our dogs succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your dog and knows how to work with anxious or fearful dogs, we highly recommend Diana. We’re so grateful for all the help she’s given our pup and our family.
