Every Dog Has Something Extra-Ordinary Inside

Sometimes it just needs the right support to shine

Life with your dog should feel connected, calm, and enjoyable—for both of you. But when walks become stressful, communication feels unclear, or you’re not sure how to help, it can be frustrating.

Whether you’re navigating reactivity on walks, adjusting to life with a new puppy, or helping a rescue find their footing, I meet dogs where they are and help them move forward with confidence.

Every dog needs something a little different.

Enrichment Walks

Engaging walks that provide movement, mental stimulation, and reinforce everyday manners.

Paws Forward™ Confidence Method

Positive reinforcement dog training that builds confidence, clarity, and real-life skills—helping dogs navigate challenges like leash reactivity, over-arousal, and everyday distractions.

'Thank you for being so pawsome with my dog—we’re both happier together now.'

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Dana has done wonders with our lab Stella. She went from being a "pull you down hard" girl to one who makes good choices. Dana's patient positive reinforcement training works. Really works. We recommend her highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I have 2 heelers with reactivity and confidence issues that have had a great response to Dana's positive and confidence building techniques. Walks are less stressful more fun and their manners and impulse control are continuing to improve!
The girls adore Dana, she has been a great addition to the pack!
