After a few private sessions, Riley learned how to focus on us instead of the distraction. This was largely due to the puppy parents being trained! Diane worked with us on clear communication, consistent action and positive reinforcement to keep Riley in obedience. Riley responded very well to this method of training and in a short time advanced to Diane's Canine Good Citizen programs.

Her fees are beyond reasonable, especially considering her terrific background. We are so lucky to have such a professional right here in Pagosa.
