We had a great experience working with Dana! And so did our pup, Cody who was a rescue that we adopted. We had no experience with puppies and Dana taught Cody all the basics that have allowed us to communicate with him efficiently. Dana was so accommodating and helpful and we would recommend him to anyone who wants their dog trained by someone is very talented and has a genuine love for animals.

Thank You. :-) I hope you and Cody are doing well! We miss him around here.

Dana was a fantastic trainer and helped our dogs out tremendously with obedience, potty training, and other useful techniques. Was easy to work with and great with keeping us updated on how our dogs were doing. Very impressed with how professional he was and how great of a person he is. I would definitely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a trainer.

Dana did a super job training Blade and us. He was very patient with is showing us how to get Blade to do what we needed him to do. Blade has actually become quite the gentleman. We now have the tools to continue working with our dog. Dana always had great suggestions on how we could correct some of Blades poor habits. We would recommend Dana to anyone wishing to get the best training for their dog. Dana worked with our schedule and was able to come to our residence to do the training which was sxtreamly important to us

Dana is amazing - his ability to connect with dogs is remarkable. And he was great at training us to keep up with what he taught our puppy - She had to go to the vet while she was with him and he took care of everything seamlessly - really hard to find someone you can trust who is reliable these days - we are very fortunate to have Shenandoah K9! I live in Nashville but it was worth the drive to take Gracie (our puppy) to Dana - and he brought her back to us when she was done. It is now 6 months post training and she has retained everything he taught her! I would use him again in a heartbeat.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Basic Obedience and Refresher work. Puppy Bootcamp is a focused class where, while boarded at my facility, I have access to your dog for 4-6 weeks to give them consistent and constant training. When they leave, they have a whole new way of looking at their families! And you have an obedient pup!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Be selective. Shop around for what you want in a trainer. Not all trainers train the SAME! Be open and honest with where to place fault, and what you're looking to accomplish. Most of what we do (good and bad) with our dogs is what we have to look at when we decided to "fix" things with training. If you are open and honest with your trainers, you'll get a better return from the training.
