MEET THE TRAINER

Dasia has found her passion in improving the relationship between dogs and their owners through balanced training methods that are fun, clear, and foster mutual respect and trust. Dasia's relationship based training system is heavily play centered and draws inspiration from the work and teachings of many world renowned trainers including Ivan Balabanov, Michael Ellis, Jay Jack, and Chad Mackin. Dasia has invested hundreds of hours into learning how dogs think, learn, and the best ways to teach them and has continued to grow her knowledge through attending seminars, shadowing fellow trainers, and training her personal dogs in Mondioring and IGP

​

Dasia began her career in the dog industry by working in dog daycares, kennels, and volunteering. In these environments Dasia was able to gain hands on experience with hundreds of dogs, many of which had behavioral issues. Dasia's passion for learning about and helping dogs grew into a passion for all types of training, from pet obedience and behavior modification to competitive obedience and bite sports
