We have taken several of Diane's training classes, and I couldn’t be happier with the experiences! Her passion for dog training shines through in every session. Diane's extensive knowledge and gentle, positive reinforcement techniques made all the difference—not only did my dog learn new commands quickly, but they also became more confident and well-behaved overall.
The sessions were engaging but also ensured steady progress at a pace that suited us perfectly. The supportive and friendly atmosphere in class made it easy to learn, and it was evident that the teacher genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners.

I’ve seen a remarkable transformation in my dog’s behavior and couldn’t be more grateful for the professional guidance provided. If you’re looking for effective, compassionate, and fun dog training, I highly recommend these classes. They’ve truly made a lasting impact on our lives!

Great team and excellent focus on primary points and behaviors. We did this mostly for puppies interaction with other puppies and other puppy owners. Diane is compassionate but focuses on the right behavior from the puppies and even more importantly the puppies owners. Great balance of teaching both the canines and the humans!!! I would recommend this opportunity for anyone that has a new puppy!! Aspen and Laney and I are very happy have been a part of this training!!!

Cheers,

We've taken three classes with Diane over the past year and really enjoy them! We love her teaching techniques and have learned so much about how to work with our dogs. She is very good about helping us to keep on task teaching how to continuously work with and train our dogs. Highly recommend her classes!

Diane is knowledgeable and a great resource for training a puppy! We had a great time in class, and loved the puppy enrichment activities especially. I like that we do a run down of how the week is going with everyone’s puppy, it is a great opportunity to learn something when you may not have come across that problem yet.

Diane was a great trainer. She imparted her knowledge and made sure we have the correct tools to help our pups become the best they could be. The class was a great way to interact with other dogs and to meet some really nice people too.
When we got there the first day we were wondering if our boy would make it through it but with Diane helping with technique for each class he was getting the hang of it. We made it through and very please with the outcome.
Diane made it a fun class we’d definitely recommend her.

I have taken multiple classes from Diane over the last 5 years and with several different dogs. She is a rock star. She is patient and kind with both humans and dogs alike and individualizes training to each person and their dog. I recommend her with no reservations.

I just completed basic beginning puppy school with my new puppy. I enjoyed meeting the other people in the class and watching the puppies grow in size and skills! I think Diane and Kay did a nice job of teaching us the basic skills and helping us get on our way. My only suggestion would be for all the puppies to run around the building at the start of class to help them all get a little anxious energy out. I did this with my pup every week and it seemed to help. Thanks ladies!

Diane does a fantastic job of walking humans through the processes involved in training their dogs. Like with any class, the more homework you do, the more you and your dog will enjoy the class and grow with each other.

The facility is clean, and since it's inside Creature Comforts, my dog already loves going there.
