Diane’s Clever K9s is an amazing way to get your hyper dogs and puppies to be much better behaved! I have had my Goldens in her classes from puppy all the way to advanced Canine Good Citizen classes and they have really made a huge difference. I have taken other classes in in other cities with past dogs, but none have worked as well as Diane’s classes! She really knows how to work with both owners and dogs and I highly recommend her!

We attended Diane’s puppy class and then basic training class with our dog George. Diane is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. I’ve been around dogs and dog training my entire life and still learned new ways of encouraging and motivating our George. The classes are structured, organized, and controlled, Diane provides materials to review and practice with each week at home which I found very helpful!In puppy class our dogs were able to socialize together while being supervised in a safe manner after lessons. George walked away from the five week class with basic puppy manners and was on his way to proper dog socialization.During basic dog training the dogs got a run through of manners and then we added to those with additional skills each week. Again Diane has prepared homework and the class was organization and safely run for all parties involved.We will be returning to Diane for her Canine Good Citizen class just as soon as we are able!

Diane is an effective trainer and communicator to help reach any training goal. Her passion is very clearly ensuring that every dog is happy and thriving. She ensures that her class environments are suitable for learning, engaging, fun and most of all- effective. Class sizes are perfectly sized to ensure that everyone is successful and the material is engaging and up-to-date with current dog behavior knowledge and is clearly an expert in positive reinforcement training techniques. Best of all, she explains why dogs behave certain ways, how we contribute or can curb certain behaviors, and the importance in building strong relationships and bonds with our canine friends as an integral part of the training process. She is a reliable and professional resource for all things dog who has 200 different training methods to find the one that your dog responds best to should the situation arise. She has been invaluable to helping my dog learn confidence and how to appropriately interact with other people and dogs. No matter what your training goal for your dog, Dianes Clever K9s can give you the tools to help you reach them!

We did Dianes Basic Obedience Class over the summer. Within just a couple of weeks I saw major improvement. By the End of the Basic Obedience Class Prince was a totally different dog in public places. We are now doing Dianes Rally Classes and he continues to improve every week. I cant thank Diane enough for helping me retrain my dog. I highly recommend Diane. She has a knack for dogs and can help you help train your dog. My confidence as well as my dogs have improved. If you arent sure what class is right for your dog Diane can help you decide. Prince has done so well everyone who knows Prince has seen major improvements. Diane, I really cant thank you enough for your expertise in helping me help Prince.

We attended Dianes puppy class and basic obedience class and were really pleased and thankful for all we learned. She is great with dogs and helped us to communicate more effectively with our pup. Plus, classes are fun and stimulating for everyone -- both people and pups! We look forward to attending Dianes Canine Good Citizenship Class soon.

Diane provided a clear format for her basic obedience class. It was COVID compliant. The information was well presented and reinforced with drills. Dianes genuine love of dogs and their well being was obvious! I would recommend her class!

Wow! After just one private lesson I am already impressed with Dianes knowledge. Ive been struggling with our high drive rottweiler for 2 years now. Today within 1 hour we had our rottie within feet of the livestock while he remained calm and followed commands. I would definitely recommend Dianes services for anyone needing training! We are already looking forward to our next lesson!

We took Dianes Basic Obedience Class and are signed up for her next Good Citizen course. She teaches in a clear, concise, manner. We were able to build upon skills with our pup each week and left the class feeling like we could actually take our skills home and use them. We have continued to work with our dog Rio on a daily basis with wonderful results! We couldnt have done this without Dianes training!

Diane KNOWS dogs. She is a talented trainer who approaches each dog as a individual, quickly recognizing and addressing their quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. She also works with each student according to their interests, whether it is basic fun and training or competition at trials. Rosie and I look forward to attending Dianes rally class each week. We started just for fun and have become addicted as it is such a great way to build teamwork between us. I highly recommend Diane for any dog training needs.

Diane was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance. I met Diane when my Dutch Shepherd, Greta, was 9 weeks old. This breed is very high drive and thus challenging, especially for a pet. From day one, Diane gave clear and direct instructions for both myself and Greta. She is fun and fair!!! Greta absolutely adores Diane and listens to her eagerly! Im amazed at the connection she has with Greta and other dogs. Diane patiently trains me as Greta catches on much faster! Ive joined Dianes Rally classes which are a blast for both dog and trainer. As I trust Dianes expertise and connection with Greta, I board Greta frequently at her home. Greta absolutely loves it there! She receives exercise, attention, and boundaries for behavior. Greta has developed a rapport with Dianes kind and gentle husband; she gets so excited when she sees him. Without a doubt, Diane is talented, an expert in training both dog and owner, and creates a fun environment for all. Id highly recommend her for training and boarding.

Dianes Puppy class for 5 weeks was just what my puppy needed to learn the basics. It was kept to a small size of 5 puppies which allowed for a great deal of one on one time with each dog. Also, she kept each class simple with a few commands so we could easily go home and practice for the week. In addition she keeps each dogs safety in mind during puppy play time which was awesome which was reassuring for my dog and I! Great class and cant wait for Basic Obedience to start!

We first came to Diane after we welcomed home our second German Shepherd. Having two dogs meant more challenges to juggle and we desired to add more structure and balance to their lives, and ours. Not only was Diane able to help us improve obedience around our home, but also created unique ways to bond with our dogs through training. Diane’s training methods are proven to work so well because she is a studious and dedicated trainer that has been passionately involved in the field for many years. Her methods closely mirror the style of Michael Ellis, and you cannot go wrong with that! If you are looking to do incredible things with your dogs you will not regret training with Diane.Keith & Mariana + Ronja & Inex

Diane is very talented and has been training dogs for many years. Diane helped me with my German Shepherd puppy with foundation training in obedience and we went on to achieve our BH, in part as a result of her assistance. Throughout the years I have seen Diane train and competed in many different dog sport disciplines and as a result she has a large tool box of skill and resources to work with. In my opinion Diane is especially talented in teaching puppies and owners how to maximize foundation and engagement skills. Diane is also very good at working with all levels of dogs and owners to help everyone achieve their goals, weather competing or simply wanting a well-mannered member of the family. I recommend Diane for group classes and/or private lessons. Kim Wall

Diane has many years of experience training dogs and takes the time to train the human as well. I have had several years of training my own dogs but Dianes techniques have shown me a much easier path. My dogs absolutely light up and are fully engaged when she is working with them. Her energy couldnt be more perfect for the task at hand. I would recommend anyone to take classes from Diane whether it be for the dog or the human!

Diane is wonderful. Most recently she helped me with my young malinois to identify a heeling tempo that will allow me to present my girl at her best. Thanks Diane! Dianes years of experience on and off the competition field have left her with breadth of knowledge that is hard to beat. Combine that with the time she has spent with world-class level trainers, a good eye, and natural instincts - it doesnt get any better than that. Diane is kind and compassionate with both dogs AND handlers. My only regret is that I dont live closer. Despite the distance I hope to make a couple trips up to train with her. I cant recommend her enough and encourage everyone to not miss an opportunity to work with her.

Diane provided a fun learning environment for our family of four to learn along with our Great Dane puppy. Diane also answered additional questions that where specific to our puppies challenges. Our pup and family are well trained and better for the experience.

Diane is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer. We adopted a 120 lb Great Dane and Diane helped us with walking, people/dog encounters, and most importantly, how to motivate our giant guy. Diane takes great notes during each session and is an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her.

Did a private with Diane several years ago when I was starting obedience with my Australian Cattle Dog Jewell. She was very helpfull and we got our CD title. We are working on our CDX and Rally advanced titles and still working with Diane. So when I got a puppy last spring we began immediately with Dianes Clever K9. We will be entering our first obedience and rally trial in March. We recommend highly.

We always get updates , pip is tired when we pick him up and he is always excited to see them . That says it all !! Thanks Diane !!
