About
Having spent more than half of my lifetime working with dogs, I've gained a wealth of knowledge that I now wish to utilize to assist others in improving their lives with their furry companions. With a variety of techniques and methods, I am capable of helping your dog develop better behavior.

As dogs are often considered a part of the family, it's important to foster a strong relationship with them. At Dog Training By Vanessa, we aim to help you build a strong bond with your dog, so that together, you can enjoy your life. Our training program comprises of:

1. Obedience Training On & Off Leash
2. Behavior Modification - Aggression, Separation Anxiety, Fearfulness, Reactivity
3. Puppy Training, Housebreaking & Socialization
4. AKC Canine Good Citizen & AKC Therapy Dog
5. Daycare Training (Play & Learn)
6. Manners & Etiquette

Each dog has a unique personality, and therefore, requires customized training. Our programs are designed to tailor-fit your pet's needs, ensuring they get the most out of our training sessions. Our trainers are always ready to help, and a free consultation is available to get you started.

I would give her a rating of a hundred thousand, million, billion stars if I could! I firmly believe that investing in Vanessa's training was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my furry companion. It has brought immense joy and blessings into our lives and will continue to do so for many years to come. The impact of Vanessa's expertise on my dog's behavior and well-being has been nothing short of miraculous. I have been working with my dog since he was a puppy, but his behavior had always been a handful, and my training efforts never seemed to work. Recently, he started displaying aggressive behavior towards my housemate and neighbor, which left me feeling helpless and heartbroken. I considered rehoming him, as I was afraid for the safety of the children in the neighborhood. Fortunately, fate led me to Vanessa and her family, who took my dog under their wing for two weeks. They socialized and trained him, and he learned to trust and relax around people again. I have never seen my dog happier and more well-behaved than he is now. Vanessa's personalized approach, combined with her willingness to have my dog live in her home, made all the difference. I did my due diligence and researched multiple trainers before choosing Vanessa. Most of them charged double or triple her rate, and I didn't feel comfortable with their methods. Vanessa's exceptional service and results have earned the highest praise I have ever given to any business. I am so grateful to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Sending our 70-pound eight-month-old German Shepherd to Vanessa for her two-week training was the best decision we made! Our little one was unmanageable before, and we feared taking her outdoors due to her strength. We were apprehensive of her going loose or causing any harm. Her hyperactivity was overwhelming, so we had to restrain her in the room whenever we had guests. Vanessa has done a great job! Our dog is now a changed canine. She walks beautifully on the leash, and we even took her shopping to Lowe's, and she amazed us with her behavior. Vanessa, thank you so much!

I can't rate Vanessa's training highly enough - if there were a 1000000000-star rating, she would deserve it! This investment in my dog has been the best decision I have ever made for anything animal-related. It has improved his and my life significantly and will do so for years to come, even after he's gone. In the grand scheme of things, it works out to be only a fraction of a penny a day for the duration of my dog's life. Prior to working with Vanessa, I struggled with training my dog from the time I got him as a puppy. He was always a handful, and despite my daily efforts, I wasn't effective in my training. The situation came to a head this summer when he became aggressive towards a housemate and a neighbor. I was fearful for his and others' safety and even considered rehoming him. Fortunately, we discovered Vanessa. Her training program, which involved taking my dog into her home and socializing him with her own family, was transformative. Not only has my dog become happier and relaxed, but he minds me almost perfectly and is now safe around others, including children and strangers. I did my research before choosing Vanessa and spoke with several other trainers whose rates were much higher than hers. However, I was drawn to her approach and the unique experience she offered by inviting my dog to stay with her family. In my opinion, this made all the difference in the world. In sum, I cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough. Her training has forever changed my dog's and my life, and I am grateful beyond words.

Although we have only completed one session, I am exceedingly impressed by what she accomplished with my pup. However, there is still more work to be done and additional appointments are scheduled.
