Owner and Dog Training Nerd Extraordinaire

Warm. Encouraging. Enthusiastic. Hilarious. (And Really Good at Explaining Dog Stuff.)

Diane didn’t just become a dog trainer—she built a business dedicated to helping people understand their dogs on a whole new level.

With 10+ years of hands-on experience and a passion for positive reinforcement training, Diane has helped dog owners go from frustrated and confused to confident and connected.

Diane's secret love is teaching people how to travel, camp, hike, and venture with their dogs. You can catch her on the trails with a dog or two just about any day.

Diane’s Training Philosophy

“Dogs aren’t giving you a hard time. They’re having a hard time.”

✔ Every behavior has a reason. We don’t “fix” dogs. We teach them, support them, and empower them to make better choices.

 ✔ Training should be fun! Your dog isn’t the only one learning—we make sure YOU enjoy the process, too.

 ✔ There’s no such thing as a bad dog—only misunderstood ones.

✔ Her advice to dogs: "Make good choices."

✔ Calm dogs are well-adjusted dogs.

 ✔ Dogs are family.
