The Cultured Canine

When I was looking for the best dog trainer in Westchester County, I found The Cultured Canine. I was right. Diane came into our New Rochelle home and within an hour our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy responded to his name, Oliver, and sat on cue. During puppy training classes, we learned about housetraining, crate training, clicker training, puppy nipping and how to train a puppy to be a well behaved pet. When it comes to dog obedience courses in Westchester, I’d recommend Diane of The Cultured Canine to anyone with a new puppy. M.S. New Rochelle, NY more

Diane is a conscientious and professional dog trainer... She exhausts all efforts in understanding specific situations and produces a cohesive environment between dog owner and their pet. She has a special talent with small toy breed dogs and is able to understand and recommend products that will comfort and assist with their needs. I have heard positive experiences from other dog owners regarding Diane and her training techniques... I find her to be a wonderful person for the "dog world"! more

I was looking for any kind of help I could get with my young, energetic Shih-Tzu. I never thought a twelve-pound dog could consistently take me for a "drag" around the neighborhood. Luckily I found The Cultured Canine! Diane, a Certified Pet Dog Trainer - yes there is such a thing and yes it actually matters, was able to teach Bono and me to take our four daily strolls in the neighborhood as joyful companions rather than tethered adversaries. Best of all, Bono's training was all carrot and no stick. It was a pleasure to learn how to make what had been daily chore into a daily pleasure. Diane was clear, concise, and unfailingly pleasant as she taught me enough about how a dog thinks that I could lovingly change my dog's behavior so he now walks with me instead of a strained leash length ahead of me. Hire her. Now. more
