Paws Forward Walk and Train

I can't recommend Dana highly enough--I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could! She worked wonders with my 3.5 year-old Golden Retriever, Sadie, while I was out of town. She both walked and trained Sadie, and it made such a difference in Sadie's polite greetings. Knowing that Sadie was in such competent and gifted hands provided much peace of mind to me while I was away. Dana worked magic with Sadie, and Sadie loves her!

Dana and our dog, June, have developed a great bond! It is obvious that Dana truly cares about June's well-being. Dana has supported June with reactivity issues and loose-leash walking, and June has made great progress. Dana uses positive reinforcement strategies, which we really appreciate as owners. She is readily available to collaborate with us so that we can provide consistent support for June while Dana isn't here. And she is willing to troubleshoot issues as they arise. We highly recommend Dana!

Dana has been working with us and our dog Cody. Her walk and train program was the perfect option for our challenges. Cody is quite reactive during walks yet surprisingly receptive to Dana's training. She has worked with him solely as well as with us. She has taught us how to decrease pulling and he has successfully become attentive to these cues. He is very reactive to skateboards, bicycles and other dogs. We have seen a positive change including being less reactive to these triggers. He has gained more confidence and control when addressing his reactive tendencies. He has shown great improvement overall but especially with maintaining a loose leash. We are all grateful for the skills we have acquired from Dana's walk and train program.

Since we started dog walking and training with Dana, our 4 year old lab is a different girl. The improvement in her reactivity to other dogs was almost immediate. Her attention to commands, calmness and general demeanor has improved significantly. We can’t say enough good things about Dana. Our life and Stella’s life is so much better!

I recently moved to the Fort Collins area and Dana was recommended to me by a friend. I'm so happy to have quickly found such a reliable and knowledgeable dog helper! She knew exactly how to handle my dog who is a bit reactive. Surprisingly my pup took to her right away and is always excited to see her which is unusual given she growls at everyone else. Can't recommend her enough!
