J & J Custom K9

Our journey with Diane began with a phone call in 2020 after I rescued a Belgian Malinois who had been mishandled and abused. I called 3 other schools who all refused to work with us and said simply I should euthanize this incredibly intelligent working dog. Diane spoke with me over the phone for an hour. She assured me we could see his potential and train him to be the incredible protection dog and family member he is today. When I came to the school and met Diane in person I instantly felt the reassurance she gave me over the phone. Our first class boasted almost 30 dogs who were mostly off leash trained and completely commanded by their handlers. Diane takes her role very seriously and so does her instructors. She accepts no slop in obedience from the dogs or the handlers. She holds the handlers accountable and it shows with the on point obedience from a very broad range of breeds. I might have rescued him but he stole my heart and I'm forever greatful for the experience it has been to handle such an amazing capable working dog. This simply wouldn't have been possible had we not worked so diligently with Diane and her team.

I could not recommend Diane and her staff more! I have been with this training facility for over 6 years and not only does Diane work wonders with every dog that enters the building, but she trains each dog and their human according to their own needs. I personally have one reactive dog who was trained completely differently than my non-reactive dog. I’ve also just recently brought a foster dog in to train who is extremely timid and Diane of course, worked her magic. I have never ending thanks to Diane and her team for all of their knowledge and “life” training skills she provides for us all.
