All About Me - Deanna Hirniak

Hi there!

Thank you for considering me as a part of yours and your dogs team and support system!

I have studied and worked to build a strong, force-free skill set in order to help dogs feel their most confident and in control when out walking in the world!

This includes struggles with dog and human Reactivity, Prey-Drive, Anxiety, Improved Training, and more.

If your dog doesn’t struggle but just needs a bathroom break, a walk, and some social stimulation during the day, that’s great too!

What is “Force-Free” Dog Training?

Force-Free Dog Training is training that focusses on relationship first. When you have a strong, connected, trust-filled relationship with your dog you can help them learn and grow in confidence faster and with more longevity.

Clear, consistent communication makes for an easier and more effective training relationship.

With science-backed techniques that have been tried, tested, and are constantly being updated and improved, I’ll help you learn the simple, effective, and fun techniques to have you and your dog communicating and working together better than ever!
