Diana’s Dog Training & Boarding-Trained German Shepherd Puppies

We recently added a new German shepherd puppy to our family. Being familiar with the breed we wanted to ensure we trained her properly and sought out a trainer familiar with the breed. We signed up for the private training course and are so happy we did. Diana personally guided us through the program and tailored the training to our goals and needs. The progress we made each week was incredible and she was able to help us improve our handling technics for better success. We highly recommend this course!

I highly recommend Diana's dog care and dog boarding. She is highly knowledgeable and has many years of experience with dogs. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my two Basset hounds with her for a week. She sent me photos of my girls playing in a huge exercise yard together and it made my whole day and allowed me to have a great time on my trip. It was nice knowing that my dogs were kept in a family home environment rather than in a vet or dog board where they are kept inside and locked up . My dogs came back clean and happy. I will definitely be coming back here again. I highly recommend her place!

I met Diana July 28th of 2025, she was assigned to me as my Mentor for the Animal Behavior College Program I am going through. I want to be a dog trainer. Since meeting Diana, she has been amazing, she is a phenomenal dog trainer, but she is a better person. As a person she always takes the time to answer my questions and always tries to understand where I am coming from before offering me a different perspective. As a dog trainer, I have seen her train 5 dogs, she took them from no obedience, barking at everything, jumping on people and pulling on leash, to obedient dogs with manners. In six weeks Diana taught the dogs that it was better and more rewarding to be calm. Diana used a gentle approach and changed the dog’s demeanor. The dogs were able to relax, not pull on a leash and stopped jumping on people. When the owners came to pick up the dogs, she was honest and explained to them that the training is not over, that they must continue the training in order for their dogs to remain obedient and calm. She answered all questions and assured them that she was there for them, if they had any questions that she will always answer the phone call or text. As for me and my dog, she took a novice trainee and has made me better, my relationship with my dog has improved, she taught me to look at it from a dog’s perspective. Teaching/raising a dog is similar to teaching or raising a child, you have to be patient, and it is silly to correct a dog when you have not taught them the action you want them to do or not do. Her dogs are huge and gentle German Shepherd and well behaved. My family and I planned a trip to Las Vegas in September, we left Kong with Diana, she did a phenomenal job with him. She was attentive and ensured he was taken care of like he was her own. Diana is a great dog trainer and person, I highly recommend her to anyone.

We unexpectedly inherited a very difficult older German Shepard, Chow, Rottweiler mix puppy. She lunged at and tried to attack people she didn't know, and she was in the habit of (friendly?) biting people she did know whenever she was the least bit excited. She was impossible to walk even though she desperately needed it. We found Diana by googling dog trainers in the area. We chose well! Diana has decades of amazing experience and yet has retained the enthusiasm for training dogs that you would normally only expect from someone just starting out in the business. It was clear to me that Diana knows what she is doing and that she truly cares about the dogs and their owners. As a retired teacher, I was impressed also with Diana's ability to communicate, her patience, and her constant focus on meeting our and our dog's particular needs. We asked for advice, we listened carefully, and we practiced and put into place what Diana had taught us. Our dog is now doing much, much better and, more importantly, we now know exactly what we need to do to help our dog to continue to improve.

I recommend that anyone who is interested in purchasing a GSD showline go to Diana. She is truly dedicated in this craft of breeding the best temperment, hip certified, and gorgeous dogs. She ensures you are set up for success to have the most loving yet protective addition to your family. We will continue to return to her for training advice and any additional GSDs that we will add to our family. We originally met Diana back in 2014 when we purchased our first GSD, Reagan, from her. Reagan gave us the most amazing 10 years we could have asked for. His 4-week course of training as a puppy set us all up for success throughout the 10 years of his life. We recently bought Jax, he is now 16 weeks old and the best puppy so far. With Diana's training guidance, he is responding so well to his training!
