Danika Rice is a CPDT-KA professional trainer based out of Hempstead, TX. She apprenticed for several years at Horizon Kennels, working bird dogs, gun dogs and competition dogs , along with general obedience dogs of all breeds and sizes to help each become successful members of their family. Performance Gun dogs have always Danika’s passion since the beginning of her career, and are the main focus of her ambitions within the hunting industry.
Danika grew up in California riding and training polo horses, playing competitively across the country, even being named Intercollegiate Player of the Year in 2006 during her senior year at the University of California at Davis. After graduating with Communications and Animal Science degrees, polo brought her to Texas, where she later found her passion for training dogs through the similarities in learning and competitive abilities shared by both the animals she is passionate about.
Danika has two current competitive hunting and family bird dogs, a 5 year old English Setter and a 1 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. She also has a 12 year old Australian Shepard who has been a reliable companion and travel partner through many adventures across the country. Versatility, utilizing a dogs strongest natural attributes, and strong obedience foundations are the main focus of everything she accomplishes with both client and personal dogs, believing that fair expectations and strong foundations open the door across multiple disciplines for any and all dogs.
