My newest review. I love my job!

My family was at our wits end with our dog, Lulu, who is 7 years old and that we have had since she was a puppy. She was constantly 'on' - barking, searching for something to bark about, almost pacing the house or yard. She wouldn't listen to us, even snapped if we tried to correct her behavior. We considered the idea of giving her away, because there was no peace in the house. However, we thought we should try training before making that difficult decision.
I found Dianne's website and reviews and so we decided to give training a try. Though we thought there could be no way that a 7 year old dog's behavior could be corrected, were we wrong! Not only could her behavior be 'fixed' - it wasn't hers, but OUR behavior that needed training.
Within moments of Dianne arriving and starting to interact with Lulu, we saw a notable change. She listened and responded! She respected the boundaries Dianne created. Throughout our lessons with Dianne, our family found that Lulu LOVED practicing the skills that Dianne was teaching us to perform with her. I don't know how to say it other than that our dog has relaxed, she feels part of the family, she relates so much better with us now, and we enjoy her so much more - there is peace in the house WITH Lulu by our side. Dianne truly showed us how to lead and not let our pet dictate or act like the head of the pack in our home.
Dianne's style is direct, clear, and caring. Her training is simple - enormously effective and impactful. Truly, dog training is about training the owner - and Dianne did an amazing job with my family and Lulu - we have a loving, sweet, smart, and HAPPY dog, and cannot thank Dianne enough for having taught us the way! We couldn't recommend her more highly - well worth every penny and every minute of skill training and practice. You, and your dog, will not regret it! 🙂
