"All dogs matter and deserve a happy and fulfilled life"
A little bit about me.
Hello my name is Danielle and I run Diverse dogs training and behaviour.
I only work on a one to one basis, with structured programmes and if needed long term support to enable your dog, with your help to achieve their maximum potential.
My journey into the dog training world started when I left my job as a Biomedical Scientist in the NHS four years ago to do my dream job of working with dogs. I have since ran my own very successful doggy daycare business and achieved my aim of qualifying as a dog trainer and behaviourist. I've had dogs all my life and as a child my family would adopt dogs from Battersea dogs home back in the days when it was still a four storey house. This was the beginning of my love for dogs and I've never been without at least one dog in the house since. I've had both rescue dogs and have been a KC assured breeder when I bred a couple of litters from my beautiful girl Ellie, a golden retriever and each one brings something special whether it be a rescue, a pedigree, a small dog or a large dog.
Which is why the ethos of my training is all dogs matter and deserve to have a happy and fulfilled life.
Do you have a puppy? He/she will gain so much benefit from an early training program and will have every chance of growing into a happy, well balanced, social and resilient dog.
Do you have a dog that is reactive, anxious or fearful to other dogs, people, noises or anything at all? Do other people judge you when they see you out with your dog? I will not judge you, it is not your fault.
Does your dog pull on the lead or not come back when you call? I can help you with this in easy steps. You will take your dog out knowing that he/she will be well behaved and a joy to be out with.
Here's how we can help you
I will help you to train your dog to be happy, well balanced, sociable and resilient, using kind, ethical, positive, force free and effective methods.
I use only positive reinforcement and force free training, this ensures that a great bond is created between you and your dog and a happy dog means a happy owner!
Discover the joy in your dog, when out walking, when at home, when with people and with other dogs.
Separation anxiety
Does your dog struggle when left alone? Does your dog destroy your furniture and belongings? Does your dog scratch at the door? Does your dog bark and whine when you go out? Some dogs find it really hard to cope when they are left alone and they really suffer. Let me help you with a proven step by step way of teaching your dog that it is ok to be on their own. The programme is for an initial 8 weeks, including an assessment on your dog, with complete support from me by WhatsApp and video calls throughout the training.
