Naughty Dog
Training

I came to Dalia at a point where I felt really stuck. I knew my dog Lara needed more freedom to feel truly fulfilled — she needed to be able to run, explore, and be off lead — but I just didn't trust her recall enough to make that happen. I was constantly second-guessing myself about how to handle situations, weighed down by guilt and never quite sure I was doing the right thing. Lara was like a coiled spring — and I just didn't have the tools to know how to help her. Since working with Dalia, everything has changed. Lara is now off lead, her recall is impeccable, and that guilt and self-doubt has really lifted. Because she's now more fulfilled, so many of the unwanted behaviours I was seeing before have either completely disappeared or become much less intense. Most importantly, I now feel like we have the communication and skills to handle whatever comes our way. It's also strengthened the bond between us in a way I didn't expect. I can't recommend Dalia and Naughty Dog Training enough. If you're feeling stuck with your dog, reach out you won’t regret it.

We struggled for a while with our hound cross, who has a very high prey drive, before finding naughty dog training. It was a transformation from our very first lesson and we now enjoy off lead walks everyday. Dalia’s knowledge and experience gave us the right tools we needed to feel confident at home and outside. I would recommend Dalia to anyone who needs help no matter the issue. Thanks

My dachshund, Alfie, spent a month with Dalia to work on his reactivity, recall, and general training challenges. The difference after his time with her has been amazing — his behavior has improved so much, and we’ve continued to make great progress since he came home. Dalia didn’t just stop at the initial training; she’s also been incredibly helpful with follow-up guidance and advice for a few post-training issues. I’m really grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog trainer.

I was at my last hope with my rescue reactive dog Sam when I found Dahlia and Naughty Dog training online. Dahlia immediately responded to help me with sam and came to meet us and I felt at ease right away that she understood him like I did. I just lacked the tools and communication with him. I did a board and train with Dahlia for a few weeks, and it was so worth ever penny. She kept me updated on Sam's progress and sent videos of his training. I saw he was improving and able to be trained to be nonreactive in formerly overwhelming situations for him (and me) The time with her was invaluable for us both, as I was able to decompress after moving from the US to the UK with Sam and also see once she was able to establish a language with him and he understood, he wanted to obey, and things were less confusing for him. I saw him improve immediately. When she returned Sam, she worked with us on a weekly basis or so until we were at a good place. She is an expert at what she does, pours her heart into the dogs, and really has a passion to help. I can't recommend her enough. I thought initially I would have to rehome Sam before I moved to Spain, but with Dahlia's help, Sam and I have a great relationship and trust each other more, so I am comfortable taking him with me. I will be forever grateful for her!

I did online training with Dalia virtually as I own a dog walking/boarding/training company in Canada. I wanted to advance my skills as a handler and dog owner as I still had challenges with my own bully breed mix. Dalia is extremely knowledgeable and kind and has helped and supported me through my training journey and personal development. She has an extremely in depth knowledge of behaviour and obedience and is one of the best trainers I have ever worked with in my career!

We reached out to Naughty Dog training for help with our terrier as we were struggling with reactivity and unable to advance our training to let him off lead. We had struggled to find a balanced dog trainer who would really solve the route of the problem and not patch over the symptoms - I came across Dalia on TikTok and immediately gave her a call. We had an initial in person consultation which lasted over 2 hours and was the best advice and understanding we'd ever had from a dog trainer, Dalia completely understood where we were going wrong and what needed to be worked on. We made the decision to send our dog for a 6 week residential training course for intensive training which was a huge decision but were do glad we did it. We were so reassured that our dog was staying in a home during his stay and was also learning off of Dalia's own dogs. We had an intensive handover session when we went to pick him up, learning how to carry on the fantastic training as well as several follow ups. The training has been completely lifechanging, we can now walk our dog off lead and take him into pubs, cafes etc with confidence and we have all the tools to continue with his training into the future. Dalia offers lifetime advice so anytime we have any questions we can reach out for honest and helpful advice which is invaluable. I would highly, highly recommend Dalia at Naughty Dog Training she has truly changed our and our dog's life. Our bond with our dog is so much stronger now and we are truly excited and happy to be with him out in the world, and he is so much happier and fulfilled for it.
