Diamond Canine Dog Services

We have been working with Joe for several years now and I cannot begin to put into words the amount of knowledge and care I have seen him put into helping not only my dogs but everyone he encounters. Joe has helped me understand why my dogs do what they do and and then put a plan in place to help me be a better leader and keep my dogs safe and happy. I don’t know where we would be without this truly remarkable person who has changed our lives. I am reposting the review above from 2 years ago because it still applies, but I want to add to it. Joe and Erin are two of the most caring and wonderful people I know. They have built a remarkable business and put so much care and kindness into everything they do. I have been working with Joe over 6 years now and I can’t even put into words the amount of knowledge and insight he has given me into understanding dogs. I started with 1 dog who became reactive and anxious when he turned one. Seeing him today 6 years later is amazing. Joe taught me what I needed to understand Koby and get him to respond to what I needed from him in all situations. We added a second dog to the mix who is a bundle is Staffy energy. Joe helped me introduce her to the mix and then how to get her to listen and respond which was no small task. I always tell Joe I am the one who needs the training (which is true) but he prepared my dogs to be respectful and well behaved in any situation we encounter and then taught me what to do to ensure they understood what I was asking of them. He is always willing to help when i have questions and I am so thankful for all he has done for us over the years. Sorry to be long winded but I don’t have enough words or stars to fully express my gratitude or how highly I think of Joe and Erin.

I can’t recommend Victor enough! Before training, I was really worried about my dog’s behavior. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids, and taking my dog outside used to be stressful and nerve-racking. I honestly felt like I might have to rehome my Chinese Sharpei because I didn’t know how to help him. Working with Victor completely changed that. He didn’t just train my dog, he trained me too. He gave me tips, tools, and knowledge about my dog that I never would have known on my own. He was patient, supportive, and truly cared about helping us succeed. Now I feel confident and calm taking my dog outside. He is so much more relaxed around other people, and our daily walks are finally enjoyable instead of stressful. This training made such a huge difference in our lives, and I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you, Victor, for helping me keep my dog and giving us both a better quality of life!

Joe and the Diamond Canine Dog Services team have helped train three of my dogs over the past two years, and the results speak for themselves. Joe’s training style is structured, disciplined, and rooted in dog psychology and behavior — not centered around constant treat reinforcement, as some trainers prefer. His methods are more traditional and balanced, which may not be for everyone, but in my experience they are extremely effective, especially for reactive, high-drive or highly motivated dogs. What I respect most is that Joe doesn’t just train dogs — he trains owners to better understand how dogs think, communicate, and respond to leadership. The focus is on creating clarity, structure, and trust so the dog can relax and simply be a dog while the owner confidently takes the lead. I’ve participated in private sessions, group classes, and meetups over the past two years, and I’ve consistently been impressed with the control, reliability, and confidence I’ve seen in both the dogs Joe trains, and their handlers. My current dog Charley is only a year and a half old, she travels with me and even goes to work with me, and I constantly receive compliments on her behavior and how well trained she is. More importantly, I trust her completely and can take her anywhere, or put her in any situation without concern. If you are considering hiring Diamond Canine, Joe regularly offers free group classes at local parks and free private consultations. It gives people the opportunity to meet Joe, observe his training style, see the dogs he has worked with, and decide for themselves whether Diamond Canine is the right fit for them and their dog. I highly recommend taking advantage of those opportunities. Joe’s personality and training style can be direct and no-nonsense, but if you are looking for serious training, real accountability, and long-term results, Diamond Canine absolutely delivers.
