The K9 Coach Carolinas

"Dana is a wonderful coach. I had rescued a new pup and she needed training. She bit my 13 year old pit as she was jealous of her and wanted to be the alpha dog of the three dog pack. Dana came and taught us how to train this pup so she would know we were the alpha dogs not her. Explained the use and reasons for a crate. How she should eat with the other dogs, how not to jump, and how to act towards strangers. We followed her rules to the T and now have a wonderful loving member of the family.We highly recommend Dana to anyone having an issue with their furry companion. Thank you Dana,without your help little Emmie would not have become a loving member of our family!!"

"Dana was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our girl, Millie, started with puppy training and continued with obedience. Dana was so helpful and encouraging. Our training sessions were informative and fun! She truly helped us get our puppy off to a great start!"

"I have nothing but good things to say about Dana and her skills in working with dogs. I came to her with a little 8 lb. Maltese foster pup. This little dog needed an entire mind shift. Dana, with constructive criticism let me know what I did too early with my rescue dog and we moved forward from there. I had experience with training and we communicated on a regular basis and Ms. May is now on a two-week trial as the only dog in the home. May was the talk of the neighborhood and how far she had come from them first seeing her! Thank you Dana! Lynn for the Animals Rescue owes you more than we can give! Thank you for spending the time and helping us get May to where she is today. If you are looking for a patient, honest trainer that evaluates and sets up a plan of action and makes sure that us humans are trained too! Dana is you best choice!"

"Working with Dana has been fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and has helped my dog with fears of going outside. Exercises we need to do to get her back to the way she used to be, coupled with nutrition suggestions have helped tremendously. Thank you Dana for your knowledge, expertise and compassion for the animals. I highly recommend her!"

"Rosie is our foster dog we got this summer. She had been kept pretty isolated from everyone except her previous owner. She was 40 pounds overweight and anxious. She even had urine leakage while sleeping. After a scary incident meeting another dog on a walk, I realized both Rosie and I would benefit from some behavior modification. I contacted several trainers. Dana was easily the most professional and responsive. Because of Rosie’s aggression towards other dogs, classes with other dogs was not an option. Dana came to our home and worked with us. She also suggested some diet changes and nutritional supplements. Rosie has lost 25 pounds. She no longer unconsciously urinates. Her coat is sleek and she is getting a waistline. She knows basic commands and goes for long walks every day. She greets everyone we meet. The best part: she is still anxious about other dogs, but improving. She can walk along with other dogs. We go out in public, and although she gets excited, fighting is not her first reaction any longer. None of this would have been possible without Dana’s help. Rosie is a much more content, healthy, and stable dog"
