Create a healthy relationship with your dog by meeting needs and training valuable life skills.

Dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and starts in life learn best through fear-free, pain-free, rewards-based training. My goal is to help you bridge the gap in your relationship with your dog through management, canine enrichment, dog body language observation, and more.

At Diwa Dogs, you’ll learn to meet your dogs’ needs. We work together to identify behaviors that disrupt the home or create confusion within the family. Then, you’ll receive a customized training plan that addresses unmet needs, as you and your dog learn life skills that can help change these behaviors.

“Amaro and I have been doing a lot of work to stop his habit of escaping. I would have been lost and at my wits end had it not been for the amazing Stef of @diwadogstraining. We have not had any incident for well over a month now.”

What Clients are Saying

Team Snoopy

Julia Ysabel Quintero, Team Snoopy

“Raising a dog like Snoopy takes a village. He is the epitome of a pandemic baby. Unfortunately, our fear of contracting the virus and the quarantine restrictions because of it hindered his socialization. With everything coming back to normal, our goal is to gradually prepare him for everything he isn’t familiar with aka loving people besides us. Slowly but surely he’s getting the hang of it. Even though there were some setbacks but his paws are still taking big steps!

Thank you so much Diwa Dogs for the amazing work that you do! Snoopy is a testament of positive and fear free training provided by Diwa Dogs. He responds better when he is rewarded and praised. Hope training methods like these are recognized all over the country. We really hope to meet you soon (in person) ❤️”

Brian Alandy Dy, Team Oreo

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Choosing Steph as our dog trainer was one of the best decisions for Oreo. The customized Positive Reinforcement R+ approach, combined with a deep understanding of canine behavior, set the foundation for our lifelong journey into managing Oreo’s sensitivities.

Apart from having R+ dog behavior certifications, Steph has a genuine love and sincere compassion for dog training, as well as a deep understanding of the difficult challenges pet parents go through. This has made our training sessions not just precise and effective, but it also provided the right environment where we all felt open and secure to learn and grow as pet parents.

Steph, we can’t thank you enough for your compassion and advocacy. Taking that first step with you has made a remarkable difference in our journey to providing Oreo the best life possible!
