This package is only for NON-REACTIVE/NON-AGGRESSIVE dogs.
Looking to improve household obedience, but not sure if you have the time or patience? Try out our day train services where your dog will spend 6 weeks, with 3 days a week training at my house! You’ll receive a private lesson with your dog at week 2, 4, and 6 to stay up to date with your dog’s training and begin utilizing new techniques as soon as possible at home! You’ll be responsible for dropping off/picking up your dog each day, but I’ll personally teach your dog and provide you with homework for each week. That way you get to be involved too and see real life progress at home!

You will be responsible to drop off and pickup your dog everyday for the agreed-upon days. You’ll have homework at the end of every week to practice real-world distractions and continue to build your relationship.
You’ll receive daily videos and pictures that feature your dog’s training and progress. That way, you can stay up to date with their training and ask any questions along the way. I’m always available via text as well.
I treat every dog like my own. I know this is a big investment and takes a lot of trust to leave your dog, so I’ll do whatever I can to ease your mind.
During your dog’s final lesson at my house, we’ll review everything your dog has learned and teach you the best way to handle the future!
Looking for off leash reliability?
With the aid of E-Collar technologies, a quality training e-collar, I am humanely certified to condition dogs and their owners with this tool. Rather than a shock collar that uses electricity, an e-collar uses the same technology as a tens unit (commonly used at chiropractors).
This training tool can be purchased as an additional training tool. Please contact me if you’d like to include this in your dog’s training.
Our Training Philosophy
As Lexington’s premiere dog trainer, my approach involves thorough training and education for both dogs and their owners to ensure proper usage. These tools act as aids in communication, providing clear signals that facilitate quicker learning and behavior modification. I utilize both positive and negative reinforcement techniques, ensuring every dog's comfort and safety throughout the training process. My commitment is to foster a trusting and respectful bond between dogs and their owners, using tools judiciously and with the utmost consideration for the well-being of our beloved four-legged companions.
Common FAQs

-
I’m happy to educate you on the tools I use, but I’ll never force you to use something you’re not comfortable with.
-
It's never too late to change undesirable habits or improve behavior! In an older dog, bad habits may take more time to fix, but on the plus side, older dogs often have a slightly longer attention span.
-
Training dogs is my full-time job, so I’m able to train your dog at various times throughout the entire day. And don’t worry, we’ll have multiple play sessions too! Your dog deserves to have some fun after working hard!
-
Yes! I understand this is a big investment for some which is why I’ve parted with Affirm to allow 4 interest-free payments during checkout.
-
Dogs live in the moment, so although they’ll have plenty of fun, they won’t forget you! I’ll never take over your role as mom/dad.
-
You’ll receive daily picture and video updates of your dog’s training, where you’ll be able to comment and interact with me. That way, you’ll miss your dog(s) a little less and stay active on their training journey! ♥
-
To ensure your pet’s safety, I require every dog to be crate-trained. This does NOT mean your dog will be crated 24/7, but allows your dog time to rest/decompress after each training session.
I’m always happy to provide support and recommendations on crate training in advance (so you can condition the crate in the home first).
Testimonials
-
"Danielle is phenomenal at caring for the dogs and giving wonderful instructional methods. "
She is able to read the dogs well and get great results! Our dog, Truffles, started training with her when a very young puppy and has fallen in love with Danielle. I have appreciated how any questions that I have about how to best incorporate Truffles into our life, have been listened to and added to the training program.
-
"Danielle sent daily progress videos, which made my anxiety about leaving him so much better."
I had no idea what I was getting into with a Great Pyrenees Puppy. Danielle taught him how to be confident, calm, use his listening ears, and how to be carefree and not guard all the time. She loves every dog she encounters as if they were her own. This boy and his momma are forever grateful to her. I can now leave the house with Aspen with confidence that he won't drag me down the road, but also be in the house and him not be destroying it. Thank you Danielle, we both love you furever!

"Danielle is awesome!!! My puppy has grown so much since we started working with her."
It’s obvious she loves and cares for dogs, and she trains them in their own language which yields incredible results. Even within the first 10 minutes she had my puppy learning so much! The training is very individualistic and she takes into consideration the need of your specific dog. We will always trust and support Danielle with our pups!!
