Joan Marie Dauber and Joan Harris - the trainers behind DGDC
Joan Marie: I love showing clients their dog's potential and teaching them how to help their dog learn better behaviors. It's always rewarding whether there is a breakthrough in a difficult behavior or when a puppy achieves a new goal.
Joan H.: My goal in training involves showing compassion for both the dog and the dog's guardian. I'm thrilled when I can make a difference in their lives, whether through simple life skills or solving a behavior issue.

Transitioning your dog from a shelter to a home can be stressful, so much to do! Where to even begin? Some of our Southern dogs in particular can really struggle, even refusing to go outside.
DGDC trainers are certified by reputable organizations and use scientifically based, humane training methods to build confidence and give you the tools to help your newest member of the family.
