SERVICE DOG TRAINER
From Woofs to Wows: Your Dog's Training Journey Starts Here!
Hi! I’m Danielle.
I’m a dog trainer and behaviourist in Kelowna, BC with 45 years experience.
I believe that every dog has the potential to be a well-behaved and cherished member of your family.
In my easy-to-follow lessons, I cover the fundamental principles of dog training, from teaching essential commands like sit, lie down, stay, and come, to addressing common behavioral issues such as excessive barking, jumping, and leash pulling. I also provide service dog training.
My lessons are tailored to suit dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, ensuring that every dog receives the personalized guidance they need to thrive.
I know that training is more than just teaching commands—it's about nurturing a lifelong bond based on love, understanding, and shared experiences with your pal.
Whether you're a novice dog owner or a seasoned pro, VOS Dog Trainer is your trusted partner in unlocking the full potential of your pup.
Let's unleash the joy of learning together!
Services provided
Basic Dog Training
In this training, your dog will learn essential commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel. They will also learn leash training, crate training, and addressing common behavioral issues like jumping, barking, and chewing. The foundation of basic training lies in consistency and patience. It's about establishing communication and boundaries between the dog and its owner, fostering a harmonious relationship based on trust and respect.
Service Dog Training
Service dog training involves teaching advanced obedience commands, task-specific skills, and public access manners. The training process is rigorous and tailored to the individual needs of both the dog and the handler. It often requires intensive socialization, desensitization to various environments and stimuli, and ongoing reinforcement of desired behaviors.
Difficult Behaviour Modification
Difficult behavior modification involves addressing and altering problematic behaviors exhibited by dogs through targeted training and behavior management techniques. This process often requires a thorough understanding of canine behavior, patience, and consistency.

Danielle is a top-notch dog trainer. She’s amazing. My dog came to me with behavioural issues and hardly listened. One day with her and he was a different dog. Now that same dog is my service dog. I recommend her 100%.

“I knew Danielle and her service dog Buckwheat before I made the commitment to get a dog. Danielle gave me the confidence to be a good dog owner. She taught me what behaviors I should expect from my dog and behaviors that are not acceptable. She showed me how to correct poor behaviors. I use a pinch collar so I can control him if he sees a cat or a deer and an e-collar for when he is off leash at the dog park. I have rarely zapped him as he responds immediately to the beep or vibrate. In fact, I really don't need the e-collar anymore. He has become a loving and cherished family member due to consistency of all family members in these training techniques and Danielle's ongoing support. I highly recommend her. Her personable but direct approach will get almost immediate results.
When I walk my dog and see other dogs misbehaving, barking aggressively, lunging at the end of the leash or totally ignoring their owners I seriously wonder why they don't get the help they need. I think it is doing the dog a disservice to not address it. I would gladly pass them on to Danielle. They would see a difference in their dog in the first couple days”
Thank you so very much for Teaching me how to train my St. Bernard/Shepard cross dog. Your lessons with her and myself have produced a well behaved loveable dog that I am able to take anywhere without hesitation. You have also given me a lot of good information on the variety of collars and equipment that can be used. Thank you again.
