What people are saying…
"We really enjoyed working with Dani! She was really helpful in teaching us how to train our puppy. She was very flexible. Sometimes she came to our house and when that didn’t work for us she met us at a nearby park. Dani was extremely patient when working with our puppy, and with us. She always had something different to try when our puppy wasn’t cooperating. The materials that she provided are great for us to refer back to when we are working on our own. We will continue to reach out to Dani for help as training a puppy is never finished!"

"Dani came to work with our very excited 70 pound golden retriever (2 years old) and giant 65 pound black lab (10 months old). We started seeing improvements in our boys behavior after the first training session. She made sure to touch on all of the behaviors we wanted to work on, including “place”, “leave it”, calming down at a quicker speed, and leash manners. She worked with me to show me how to continue the training in between her sessions and was always very responsive and kind. I will definitely be recommending her to friends!"

“I met Dani through animal rescue and at the time was working with another local trainer and I didn't feel like they were meeting my needs. My dog can be very reactive and dangerous at times and I really needed help. We're still working through our training package but my dog gets so excited when she comes to work with us and we've made improvements in his behavior. I highly recommend her services!! Not only that but she's an amazing person!! win-win!”

“Dani is fantastic! She gave us the tools to create a much more calm home with our very energetic pup. Our whole family is now on the same page for how to best work with our new dog.”

“Dani is a very professional and caring trainer and human! she has always bent over backwards to accommodate me and my dreams of having a mobility service dog. She doesn't give up just because it gets hard! I highly recommend Dani and Confident Canine!”

“Dani has been great! Our dog Penny is so responsive to her and learning so much! She has taught me a lot do things to help at home. I love that she comes to our home so Penny can learn in her normal environment. Penny is only 3 months old and already better trained than all our previous dogs. We get comments all the time how good Penny is and we owe so much of that to Dani. I look forward to more sessions, especially our family training session!"

"Dani is phenomenal. We needed help getting started with training for our 2 year old, freshly retired, greyhound. She is an amazing teacher and does a great job instructing our dog as well as teaching us. So much about training dog behaviors is about training the humans so that we know how to set our dog up for success. Dani expertly helps us understand why we coordinate training in specific repeatable ways and how to direct the dog towards positive outcomes. She has walked us through how to organize training sessions and how to progress. It starts with her helping show us how to train a skill, then we integrate into the training taking over practice with her guidance and support. It has been a great progression and she is very responsive when we have questions. We recommend anyone looking for training to check out The Confident Canine. We recently adopted another 1.5 year old retired racer and will continue to work with Dani to help set this dog up for success also."

“Dani LaFredo with The Confident Canine KC has been helping us with leash training, and Astro is learning so much! Dani is absolutely wonderful and I'm learning as much as he is! If you are in need of dog training, definitely reach out to Dani.”
-Tiffany
“I appreciate Dani for coming to our house to train our dog as I feel it’s better to train in the elements where the problems occur. She started the training right off the bat, our dog was engaged and was very attentive to her. Dani was great at demonstrating how to make the corrections and sent videos and very detailed email after the training so I have the proper tools to continue the training on my own. Our dog has made great progress! Dani is very knowledgeable and I would recommend her services 100 percent.”
