Testimonials

Diona helped us train our two reactive dachshunds. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding dog body language and how to implement training methods correctly to help your dog learn new behaviour. She communicates clearly and was able to teach us the techniques so we can effectively carry out the training with our dogs on our own! Thank you Diona! She has been life changing for us after our struggle with training our dogs for over a year (using other trainers and methods) - no one has been able to effectively explain dog body language and what it meant to us better than Diona.

My partner and I got in touch with Diona for help with our two rescue dogs. They had problem behaviors around reactivity, barking at guests, pulling on the lead, barking and lunging and co-dependence on each other. We have just finished our 7 session training package with Diona and have seen huge progress with our dogs. They can both walk very well on nice loose leash now, are much less dependent on each other, much more reliable recall and just a lot calmer in general. Our reactive girl has gotten much better and is no longer jumping straight into barking and lunging. We no longer need to use treats to "distract" her from her triggers. Diona helped us to reduce our reliance on treats as a training crutch, and puts a lot of emphasis on building a strong bond with your dog. She always had multiple strategies for each problem behavior and was flexible to make sure the methods suited us. We appreciated her balanced approach. She was also incredibly easy to contact if we needed support between sessions. Our dogs (and us) still have more to learn but we feel confident now that we have built such strong foundations with Diona's help. Thanks Diona and Murphy! :)

We reached out to Diona when we couldn’t stop our six months puppy from pulling on the leash and ignoring us entirely on our walks. It has been a game-changer!!! We thoroughly enjoyed all our sessions with Her; she not only helped us fix the problem but also empowered us with extensive knowledge to train our puppy ourselves onward! She is absolutely brilliant!

We asked Diona to help us manage our Maltese poodle’s barking and lunging and I was surprised to see our dog learn so quickly with Diona’s guidance. Her style is clear, methodical and thorough. She explains her reasons behind my pup’s behaviour so I know how to better manage my pup. In two sessions we have definitely seen progress! We definitely recommend Diona!

Diona was amazing with our puppy Birdie. Within the first few weeks of working with us, she had Birdie walking with a loose leash and had corrected many of her troublesome behaviors. I could not recommend her more highly for any human-dog combination who is looking to get the most out of this unique relationship.

As first dog owners we were complete novices! Diona changed our lives, turning our energetic social 6 month puppy into a completely relaxed easy dog. Diona taught us absolutely everything, from crate, feeding, best walking styles, how to ensure our dog is fulfilled and happy by the end of the day. Diona is the best in biz, knows her stuff and makes the sessions fun too, for us as adults and the kids too! Thanks Diona for turning our life with our fur child into an easy one. Sophie

I highly recommend Diona as a trainer if you’re looking for help with a reactive dog. My dog had been lunging and barking at dogs we saw on walks, and dogs he saw out the car window. Diona’s methods and practical solutions were effective and we saw progress from the first session. She is an encouraging and supportive trainer of dogs and their owners! Thanks Diona for all your help :)

Diona is the best! She is a wealth of knowledge and has so much experience with how to bring the very best out in your dog. Our beloved Barney has gone from being a wound up ball of barking energy to a relaxed happy pup within 4 weeks. He will always be a work in progress (as will all dog training) but she gave us so many strategies that just work! If you’re thinking your dog needs help you more than likely need Diona!!!
