About Danielle

While growing up on a local horse farm in Kentucky, surrounded by thoroughbreds and working dogs, I was always fascinated by how the dogs thought and acted. After joining the Marine Corps and serving in Iraq, I earned two bachelor degrees in Horse Farm Management and Human Nutrition & Dietetics. As a 500 Hour Yoga Teacher, I also enjoy fitness/yoga and continue to make them apart of my daily routine.

Having worked with over 1,000+ humans and dogs, my deepest wish is to help you form a strong, successful partnership with your dog. After training my own dog, Blue, I’ve seen first hand how beneficial a strong relationship can transform our bond and trust. Our bond has truly shown me what it means to have successful relationship and I want you to have the same opportunity.

The dog-human partnership takes a lot work and commitment, and it is not always easy - but if you’re committed to helping your dog and willing to put in the time and effort, if you’re willing to change your old habits, and ready to learn your dog’s culture and what makes them tick, I will be right there with you as your coach and your cheerleader every step of the way. I want you to be successful, and will do whatever I can do to help you achieve the best possible relationship with your dog!

That’s why I’m just not teaching your dog - I’m also teaching you (the other end of the leash!) to read and communicate with your dog. I firmly believe the human-dog relationship is a partnership, and more often than not, that partnership may experience a communication breakdown. You know…your dog listens well in the home but outside, no listening skills at all. Guess what – I was right there with you. My dog Blue is still a bit of a jerk at times, but now I can communicate, read him and guide him to live a fulfilling life. I’m able to give him what he needs, and in return he gives me his all.

I pride myself on tailoring my packages to YOU! I understand every dog’s needs are different and will respond to training techniques differently. Even with years of experience, I’m still invested in attending seminars to expand my knowledge to best utilize specific training tools for your dog. I’ve been fortunate to have some amazing mentors myself and can’t wait to mentor you on this exciting journey with you and your dog.
