Rebel
There is nothing negative we could say about Danielle. We met her about a month ago to help with training our dog Rebel. We found her to be just amazing. She has helped with socialisaing and had a calming affect upon Rebel. If you are looking for a great trainer this lady is the real deal. Her attitude, kindness, knowledge and ability are second to none. She is highly recommended. Look no further for a trainer. Thank you Danielle for your hard work.

Pearl
What can I say about east coast dog training (Danielle) she has been an absolute blessing with not just training my puppy but also getting us to understand behaviours/ training in an amazing way. I can’t believe how much Danielle has managed to teach my puppy pearl in such a short time. Danielle is also brilliant at accommodating the times to your needs which not a lot of training places do! Can’t wait to use east coast dog training more in the future.

Frank
I’ve just completed the Gold training programme which is a course of 6 sessions with Danielle and I can’t recommend her enough! We worked on threshold training, wait, walking to heel and general distraction and started seeing results after the first session with my English bulldog. Danielle is so friendly and so good at her job and very welcoming so you feel at ease straight away. Looking forward to practicing everything we have learnt. I will definitely use East Coast Dog Training again. Thank you Danielle for all your help! X

Nelly
Wow, Danielle has been absolutely brilliant with my dog. Danielle gives off such a calming presence. My dog was very reactive to the door bell/knocking. Within a day Danielle had it sorted along with me continuing the training. On the 2nd training day Danielle concentrated on my dogs anxieties. She has shown me some great techniques to continue with and I can now leave the house for short periods of time without worry. Would highly recommend to anybody with dog problems. Well done and thankyou Danielle.

Mari & Madge
Danielle has started to solve our Tibetan Terrier girls barking issues.. She is so patient and positive with them.. We will be booking more sessions once we have put the training in… We’ll done ✅
-
Toby
We have a crazy springer spaniel, who loves to pull on his lead…after a few sessions with Danielle we can already notice the difference. She is always on hand with support and guidance. We absolutely loved the videos of what Toby achieved in his sessions, which helped us continue the techniques at home too. We couldn’t recommend Danielle enough (& and it is clear how much Toby adores her too!)
-
Marley & Wilma
Danielle facilitated us being able to take our two unruly Rottweilers out for walks in public. She’s a great confidence-giver as the problem was with me not my dogs. I wholly recommend her, five star professional and friendly service
-
Myla
I booked my puppy on the walk and train program, very pleased with the results.
Regular updates and informative ongoing support.
Highly recommended.

Pearl
East Coast Dog Training (Danielle) came to our house on a one to one basis to train our new puppy Pearl. Danielle worked with Pearl and us as a family and I can’t believe the difference its made to our lives especially for Pearl. Danielle was so kind caring cantered bespoke training around Pearl and us. Danielle gave videos for us to keep and made the wonderful progress we could look back on. I thoroughly recommend East Coast Dog Training for the pooch in your family. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Danielle
-
Monty
Danielle is such a patient calm person. She has worked wonders on myself and Monty. I can't believe the difference in us in such a short space of time. Would have rated her 10 stars if possible! Can not recommend her enough.
Thank you Danielle for all your help.

Lilly
East coast dog training is the dogs bolloxs, an absolute must if you have any worries about your dog, Danielle is in one word superb, explains everything well and in a calm and understanding way, she always listens to what your saying and never dismisses what you are saying or asking, I would and have recommended her services to friends and family and other dog owners I know because she is just that good, we have finished our sessions and the transformation in our dog is wholesome.
Thank you Miss D

Lola
Thoroughly recommend Danielle have gone from a dog that took me for a walk to a dog that walks by my side with no pulling lovely lady
-
Ruby
Danielle has been amazing from start to finish! She was able to give me realistic strategies to manage my rescue dogs reactivity towards other dogs. We done four sessions together which really helped my confidence as well as knowing how to best manage my dogs reactivity. I would highly recommend Danielle. She was very calm, positive and knowledgeable! I really enjoyed watching the videos and pictures back after a session to see how far we have progressed! 10/10 recommend using east coast dog training to anyone who is struggling wirh their dogs reactivity!
-
Loki & Boudica
Highly recommend Danielle for her patience with my stubborn two reactive large breed pups. She has done more positive reinforcement training in 5 weeks that ive been able to do in two years and has given me lots of tools to carry on their journey. It’s clear that she loves what she’s doing and it shows with how the dogs react to her and her back up texts, phone calls and videos have been a great help. The package of after care will help us long after the sessions stop. We wish her well with her upcoming course to constantly add to her knowledge in reactivity training and her journey looking after our fur babies, keeping them safe and making us all better dog owners.
-
Paddington
Danielle is an absolute dog whisperer and has helped us so much with our dog Paddington. His main issue was reactivity due to being nervous and we couldn’t walk past a person, scooter, dog or anything without him reacting. Our sessions with Danielle has given me the knowledge and confidence to help Paddington and we can now go out on walks and actually pass people and dogs. She is so calm and caring and clearly adores her job. For anyone struggling with any dog issues, i could not recommend anyone more than Danielle. Thank you again so much!
-
Narla
What an amazing, caring and attentive trainer Danielle is! We’ve just finished our XL Bully programme with my one year old Narla and we’ve achieved so much. No matter little or big the concerns were she focused on them all. Our biggest focus was muzzle training so Narla can go and enjoy her walks. Danielle covered crate training, threshold, stay, leave it, muzzle and loose lead walking. There’s still a bit to go with the loose lead work but Danielle has shown and told me exactly what to carry on doing to improve this and if i have any issues or questions then not to hesitate to contact. Cannot recommend Danielle enough, she is brilliant. Me and Narla will miss seeing her weekly.
-
Hunter
Danielle is brilliant, our German shepherd was a bit of a nightmare. I would walk him early morning or late at night in an attempt to avoid other dog walkers. He now walks beautifully and it’s a joy to take him out. Thank you, Terry.
-
Pablo
Danielle is amazing. She did a great job with my family dog Pablo. Weekly visits and taught us ways to teach Pablo and how to continue with his training.
-
Cody
Very grateful to Danielle from ‘East Coast Dog Training’ with our dog Cody. Such a lovely person who has taught us so much. A 5 star service. I am just sorry we have completed our training with Cody and i miss her already but we wish Danielle all the best in all she does. Hopefully she will pop round and keep in touch x
-
Arlo
I can not thank Danielle enough for the training and support she has given me and Arlo through our training programme. I always used to dread taking Arlo out on the leash but now thanks to Danielle i actually enjoy our leash walks…will forever be grateful. Thank you so much. Looking forward to our next training sessions.
-
Zeus & Nellie
Danielle is excellent from start to finish. I have a bulldog who’s is sometimes the most stubborn and i have a 5 month old Bullmastiff cross Great Dane cross xl bully. So very lively. The both of them are. She is very patient and understands your needs and the dogs. And good after care too if your worried about anything so brilliant.
-
Mabel
Me and Mabel came into contact with Danielle in her previous business of dog care so i attest to the dog training, however in every dealing she was extremely professional and always ensured Mabel was well looked after and never left wanting more. If ever any issues arose she would go out of her way to try and resolve and help out at short notice. It can be quite challenging to find someone you can trust to look after your pets and we never felt a miss with Danielle. If ever we had any training needs i would not hesitate to get in touch with East Coast Dog Training and i know a great service would be delivered, character and integrity from the owner speak volumes of the business! Get your dog training at East Coast Dog Training!

Arlo
Danielle was absolutely fantastic with our young boy. He’s blind and deaf and very wary of new people but he warmed to Danielle quicker than he has to anyone! She helped us understand him more and implemented new techniques specially for him and his disabilities. I couldn’t recommend her more, we are so thankful for everything she done for us! Xx
-
Zeus
Wow, Danielle turned up at our house and immediately connected with our beast! Very confident young lady, knows her stuff and satisfied us very quickly into knowing this was going to be worth it. The sessions were fun, with lots of treats needed so stock up. Danielle had our pup literally eating out of her hand, so thank you lady, his improvement over the 6 weeks is enormous and will have an impact on how he behaves in the future. Thank you again, you are polite, interesting, tactile and creative with what your dog needed and dont forget to pop in for coffee.

Nahla & Symba
It’s been almost 15 years since we last had a puppy. After losing our girls we couldn’t be without a dog and somehow ended up with 2 more!! A new breed to us which also was a Doberman-Sheperd mix, they had fright a become frightened and petrified of anything and everything. We tried so many methods and was close to giving the up. Then we found Danielle from East Coast Dog Training and she was a blessing. We learnt so many new skills and saw some incredible improvements in the first session. She is so calm, warm and approachable our whole family was able to interact and learn from her including the 5 year old. You need to put the work in outside of the sessions but the skills she has are designed individually for the dogs and your family. We will return for further training as the first set of skills have cemented in. Thank you so much x

Mercedes & Black
Danielle is simply a dog whisperer our 2 dogs loved her within 5 mins she is calm patient and kind videos after each session were fantastic and our fur babies have so benefited from there time with Danielle! She was always on time and never watching the clock to finish always staying long than she had to fantastic value for money wouldn’t dream of anyone else for dog training.
For the record our fur babies are both XL bullies Mercedes and serious black (black black)
-
Cooper
Danielle is quite simply Amazing. From the outset she made clear it’s all about joint effort and ongoing process, No quick fixes but plenty of positive reinforcement and support.
Week on week we’ve noticed the difference and even when we’ve felt like we were having a blip, she’s only ever been a message away , always coming back with A confidence boost, encouragement and advice.
For us it was about finding ways to manage Coopers reactivity in the hope that walks might become a better experience. We built up to our final session, taking Cooper out amongst all of his triggers and it was just a joy to see how far he’s come. Danielle, you nailed it!!
-
Sunny
Danielle is such a lovely person. She just understands and gives you so much support with your little friend. I have a rescue pup called sunny and Danielle gave me so much encouragement to work with sunny. She has been a godsend. I know she is always on the end of the phone if I need any more help. Sunny has come on in leaps and bounds. Thank you Danielle..xx
-
Bear
Danielle worked miracles with a Cockapoo puppy Bear. Our walks beforehand were filled with continuously pulling of the lead, reacting to every dog and no recall. During our first training session, Danielle recognised Bears needs and changed the pace of training to suit Bear best. Each week we taught Bear new training techniques and had the continued support of Danielle from session to session. I can happily say that Bear no longer pulls on the lead! His recall and reactivity are improving dramatically and he’s a totally different puppy. He can’t thank Danielle enough for her training and support with Bear, even if he was a cheeky monkey.
-
Bruno
Danielle honestly has such a talent, she listens and takes on board everything in your situation. Within minutes of meeting Bruno he was asleep in her lap!
She came up with some creative ways to help with his reactivity with all the challenges we faced. Danielle was determined to find something that would get his attention and also beat his stubbornness, and changed anything and everything to meet his needs. I’m so grateful for all of your help and we will both miss you. I cannot recommend Danielle enough. The BEST trainer you can ask for.
-
Gloria
We thank Danielle so much for what she helped us to achieve with Gloria! She's a very warm person ,serious and dedicated to her job. Gloria is much calmer and she listen when we ask her to do something. We are very pleased with her training.
Thank you, Danielle, and good luck!
-
Rex
Danielle has been amazing with our lab Rex, she listened to all our needs and was so passionate about meeting them and helping us accomplish our goals! Danielle even altered sessions to get our toddler involved to build our dogs confidence around our two year old. Danielle made us all feel empowered and listened to, Rex absolutely adored her and would do anything to please which really made the training beneficial and worthwhile! Danielle is so passionate and knowledgeable, we will all (especially Rex) miss seeing her every week. Thank you so much!xo

Betty
It has been so lovely working with Danielle over the past few months. Our dog is so much more confident, calmer and happier now! (Which also means we, as owners, are much more confident, calmer and happier too!)
Danielle is very welcoming and made us feel comfortable from day one. She came to our house once a week and sent us videos after each session. She was always on the end of the phone if we needed to ask anything or had any issues. Her knowledge of dogs’ behaviour is amazing and she was able to adapt as and when needed to suit the needs of our dog in order for us to gain the most from each session. She was very thoughtful in thinking of ways that our daughters can join in with the training, as well as thinking of ways to incorporate the training into a busy family so we can make the most of it.
Danielle’s friendly, positive and reward based approach is exactly what our dog needed to overcome the issues we had.
We would highly recommend Danielle to anyone!
Thank you for everything!
-
Lenny
Thank you so much for helping me and Lenny out with some obedience training.
Lenny is a cheeky little Lab who ran rings around me, so I contacted Danielle for some help and training tactics. He never knew what lay down meant, it literally took 3 minutes with Danielle to teach him!! She doesn't just teach your dog she also teaches you throughly how to train them.
If you are thinking about signing up with her for help with your best friend you can expect a lovely, friendly, knowledgeable & professional service with a well behaved dog at the end of it.
Thanks from Dean and Lenny

Ellie
I recently completed an eight-week dog training course with Danielle from East Coast Dog Training, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Our dog, Ellie, an eight-and-a-half-year-old Mastiff, had never left her property and had never met other dogs. She was very reactive. Danielle was incredibly knowledgeable and taught me various techniques, focusing a lot on dog psychology. At the end of the day, it was more about training me than training Ellie. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks was absolutely wrong! Ellie loves the mental stimulation and the excitement of getting the tasks right. Now, we can confidently walk past other dogs on the lead and stroll down the high street in Aubra, Suffolk. It’s been a real transformation and a joyous experience for both of us. Danielle is truly a dog whisperer, and I highly recommend East Coast Dog Training. It has been an absolutely brilliant experience!
-
Scooby & Milo
Danielle was absolutely fantastic! We initially booked Danielle as we were having problems with our Romanian rescue Scooby, but upon our first training session we soon realised that our Labrador cross Milo was actually the issue and Scooby was just learning from him. Danielle’s sessions were informative and so positive, at the end of each session I felt confident in what my aim was for that week to practice with Milo and Scooby. Danielle would also check in regularly with us and still does due to the package we went for. With all training, you get back what you put in and I am pleased I put in all the effort I could in the 6 weeks we had. We also had lots of laughter and it was genuinely so much fun rather than feeling like I was being taught! Thank you so much Danielle!!!
-
Kizzy
Danielle spent 2 sessions with me training my 18 month old Rottweiler Kizzy. Danielle gave good advice and lots of new ideas to move forward with Kizzy who responded very well. I have continued with the training and Kizzy has improved very much in areas which were my concern. Kizzy enjoyed her training sessions with Danielle and was a happy dog throughout.
-
Tilly
From the first meeting I knew Danielle was the right person to help me with my dog, Tilly. She comes to your house and discusses a way forward. She is very calm and is a pleasure to work with. After sessions she sends a video which is a great prompt of what is being achieved. She is also at the end of the phone to answer questions. Tilly was so excited to see her every visit. I would highly recommend Danielle.

Kuro
I was at my wits end with a highly energetic and excitable Cocker Spaniel Puppy. He destroyed everything in his path, I was exhausted.
In desperation I contacted Danielle.
The first meeting was to assess my pup and also myself how I handle him, his reactions etc, and then a discussion on what I’m wanting to achieve. There are 3 “packages”, Gold, Silver, & Bronze that I chose from.
When I first met Danielle, she was calm and listened to everything I said, She was very sympathetic and caring, especially when I cracked at mentioning my previous dog who I had to let go two years ago. She is a lovely young lady, I can only say she’s gifted when it comes to training dogs! Within a minute she had my little whirlwind sitting, lying down and waiting. I was amazed. The lessons are backed up with videos of your training sessions which are sent to you with clear and concise written tasks for you to carry on the exercises.
I had three lessons, I’m happy to say I am now enjoying my boy and he’s doing as he’s told, this also makes him happy.
I can’t thank Danielle enough. She is amazing, and clearly loves the dogs, and has a natural connection with them.My boy absolutely loved her. If you are looking for help with training your dog, I would recommend Danielle 100%, look no further, you wont regret it!!
Ps. My boy photographed. -
Topper
Wow! What an incredible dog trainer we met! Danielle took our crazy Collie and turned him into an absolute legend! Can’t thank her enough for all her hard work and help! If anyone needs a dog trainer..she is simply the best!!
-
Nellie
I messaged Danielle after an awful evening where I was at my wits end with my year old beagle ruling the house, she responded so quickly and was able to come round the next day for an in depth consultation where she covered every detail possible about our Nellie, we went out for a walk for her to see the issues she needed to work on as well as being able to see them in the house too. We signed up for the 8 week reactivity course with Danielle where she tailored each week to Nellies progress. Nellie is an anxious dog but she fully bonded with Danielle and was so excited to see her each week.
Danielle helped us with desensitising Nellie to the muzzle, the cone after her surgery, obedience training, resource guarding, door reactivity, recall training, loose lead walking and puppy training for our younger pup Winnie. Danielle was always on the end of the phone if we needed anything and adjusted each session to suit the dogs each week, we now feel fully equipped to continue with both of their training. Investing in their training was the best thing we could have done for them and for us! I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you so much! -
Ari
I can’t say enough good things about Danielle at East Coast Dog Training! I brought my three-month-old Cane Corso, Ari, to her for six sessions we mainly focused on obedience and recall, the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Ari took to Danielle instantly—her calm, confident demeanor and expertise made a world of difference. It’s clear she has a true passion for working with dogs and knows exactly how to communicate with them effectively.
Throughout our sessions, Danielle was incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable. She tailored each lesson to meet Ari’s needs, and I was amazed at how quickly Ari picked up on the commands and improved his recall. Danielle also provided me with helpful guidance on how to continue working with Ari at home, which has made such a positive impact on his behavior.
After each session we received video footage of our session and a detailed plan tailored to aris need to focus on between sessions this for me was above and beyond expectations of a dog trainer and hammered home the financial commitments worth.
If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and creates a welcoming, productive environment, Danielle is the one to go to. I’m so pleased with Ari’s progress and will definitely be returning for further training as he grows. Highly recommend! -
Flash
Amazing, would highly recommend!
We got in touch with Danielle for some assistance with our adolescent bloodhound Flash, who had no recall, struggled to engage with me outside of the house & struggled with a bit of anxiety when out and about as all he wants to do is say hello to everyone.
From the start Danielle was amazing, during our consultation I knew I made the right choice by contacting her just from looking at her calm and confident approach.
All the session were always so well structured. Danielle would show me what I should do with flash and then watched me and flash do the same thing, she would adjust the session to suit mine and flashes needs and always give us plenty of alternatives to try! Even raising any of my concerns with flash’s behaviour or if I shared any incidents that happened during the week - Danielle would listen and give me suggestions to try and to be fair - they did always work!
Danielle would always follow up with plenty of narrative after the sessions as well as videos for us to refer back to which have been very handy!
We couldn’t thank Danielle enough for everything she’s done for us, Flash has come on leaps and bounds with her help and bloodhounds are not the easiest of breeds yet she managed to completely win him over!
Thank you for everything we are eternally grateful ❤️ -

Scoob
We can’t thank Danielle enough for the training and support she has given. After 8 weeks of training we have seen a massive improvement in our reactive dachshund Scoob.
Danielle is so patient, and thinks outside of the box when things don’t always go to plan! We have learnt so much from Danielle, and the ongoing support she provides is another reason why we can’t recommend her enough.
Thank you so much Danielle! -
Chrissy
Just want to say a massive thank you to Danielle for helping me out with little Chrissy.
She went above and beyond in helping Chrissy to become the confident little dog she is now 😀 in the last couple of weeks Chrissy has become such a more confident and calm little dog and it's all thanks to your help Danielle. 👍 You have become part of the family, me and my sisters can't thank you enough for what you have done and we are all missing you loads!! Especially Chrissy who is missing your cuddles😀 -
Forty
Danielle is bloody amazing - we were on the verge of feeling the need to rehome our puppy as she just was not settling in to our busy family home. However, East Coast Dog Training swept in to save the day: weekly lessons on basic control up to advanced activities to help build the bond that was missing. I can't recommend her enough.

My Journey
I have owned dogs from a very young age and have been lucky enough to work with a large variety of dog breeds. I began by directing a pet care business in December 2020 and loved every minute of it. I had the opportunity to work with a number of my clients to help to improve their dogs confidence, socialisation skills and lead control. In March 2023 I completed the ‘Dog Training College certification programme’. I then continued to further my knowledge and took part in a course specialising in reactivity. I am now a DTC Certified trainer, ‘Canine reactivity specialist’ & licensed ‘Reactive Rascals’ instructor who’s passionate and driven to ensure you have the best ongoing relationship with your dog.
