Relationship First
Relationship building is the core of what K9 Coach trains. When the focus is placed on building a strong relationship between the owner and their dog first, the training that follows comes naturally. You can expect training with K9 Coach to focus on communication, structure, boundaries, rules, clarity and play to establish a mutually-respected and trusting relationship between you and your pup.

Dana is driven by her love of dogs
All dogs have the potential to be the dream companions we’ve imagined. K9 Coach Dana is driven to help you and your dog achieve that potential and enjoy the life you share. There are no bad dogs, just misinformed humans.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dana. She is a pleasant and energetic young woman who’s love for dogs really shows in her approach to training. She was concise in explaining the what and why of each step we were doing. Making sure we understood what she was asking us to do with Hollie in between our sessions (our homework) and being available for questions if we ran into any issues. Hollie graduated from her Puppy training today and we feel well equipped to keep the momentum rolling with her. We have learned some great tools to work with Hollie and have loads of fun at the same time. We highly recommend Dana to help you train your puppy (and you!).
Trust the process! My dog was pulling on walks and lunging at cars for 4 years. I took her to obedience class and had two personal trainers nothing was working. Then I found Dana. Wasn't sure how she was going to be any different but I listened to her and did what she asked and now my dog walks with a loose leash and is ignoring cars. Dana gets the job done!!
Dana is a godsend! We rescued Porkchop as a stray and had no information of his past. I would describe him as a street angel and house devil! Within minutes of our first session, Dana was able to identify the behaviors we needed to work on (Porkchop AND us humans). I was blown away at her calm, effective, and knowledgable approach! I also felt a HUGE sigh of relief knowing Dana was there to help us along this training journey. Dana is great with listening to our concerns and always provides strong recommendations for course-correction. She is also not afraid to call out the mistakes we humans may not realize we are making! Since we started with Dana, Porkchop has come a long way in regaining his confidence, etc. - and Dana was the right person to guide us! I am so grateful!!
My dog and I have worked with Dana for 3 sessions now. All of which have been absolutely outstanding. Dana is professional, knowledgeable, personable and attentive. She’s helped me grow greatly with my dog, teaching me as well as my dog. Dana will care about your dogs progress just as much, if not more, as you. If you’re on the fence about dog training, look no further! Dana will be a perfect match for you and your best friend.
