Good As Gold K9 School, Toronto, ON
I am a trained veterinarian with a deep passion for dogs. With 20 years of experience in the life sciences industry and more than 10 as a trainer in the research world, I decided to return to my first love and dedicate myself to working with dogs. As a veterinarian and a dog breeder, I have accumulated valuable insights into various breeds and their particular traits.
I have recently completed my formal studies in dog behaviour with a specialization in dog aggression and behaviour modification. I am now collaborating with my mentor and friend, Nancy Hatch at Good As Gold K9 School, to apply humane training techniques rooted in positive reinforcement and modern behavioural principles. Through our approach, we aim to bring out the best in dogs and nurture strong, heartwarming bonds between these lovable creatures and their owners.
Nancy and I have also partnered in breeding Golden Retrievers. Nancy is the owner of Good As Gold kennels - and I have partnered with her to help bring new lines from Europe. All our dogs live inside and are integrated in our family.

I cannot say enough good things about Dana! She has been an absolute game-changer for me and my dog, DJ. From the very first session, Dana's expertise and patience were clear. She not only helped DJ with his training but also gave me the confidence and knowledge to continue reinforcing good behaviours at home. Her approach is kind, professional, and incredibly effective. DJ has improved so much, and it's all thanks to Dana's guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. Thank you, Dana, for everything you've done for us!

I had the pleasure of working with Dana and I’m so happy with the results. She provided practical strategies for my dog that made a noticeable difference. He’s definitely on the right path of being more obedient.
