“We had not been familiar with the use of a clicker for ‘marking’ positive behavior prior to meeting Denise. We like it and most importantly, Remy (Rembrandt) our miniature 8-month old poodle, likes it too. He has come a long way in just 5 training sessions.
‘With me’, ‘yesss’, ‘uh oh’, ‘down’, ‘sit’, ‘leave it’, ‘take it’ are new terms that we practice. Denise makes it look easy as she handles Remy. She sees Remy through his eyes and he is eager to please her.
We couldn’t be happier with the training he has received thus far. We look forward to our weekly sessions! We would highly recommend Denise for any dog training needs.”

“Working with Denise CoStanten, our dog trainer has been one of the best decisions we’ve made after bringing our puppy home. Duke Was trained as well as stayed at daycare due to our work schedules.
Denise’s expertise, clear instructions and consistent directions led to noticeable improvements in Duke’s behavior in a short positive time. Denise is very professional, reliable and extremely effective and efficient my husband and I highly recommend her and services to anyone who is setting their dog up for success.
On a sidenote, I worked part-time with Denise and it was an incredible experience. I got to see her ability to connect with a different dogs and it was remarkable. She is very committed to the success of dogs. I would confidently recommend Denise to anyone who is seeking quality effective humane dog training.”

“Denise really helped me with the reactivity and excitement levels of my dog in public. She taught me how to teach Bella to act better around strangers. I learned how to get Bella to focus on me, as well as tricks that helped Bella blend in easier while around people. For example, ‘go in’ where Bella goes under my legs and feels safe and is out of the way.”
