About Ana Dahl: Your Trusted Dog Trainer

At Dahl Dog Training, our mission is to strengthen the bond between you and your dog through positive reinforcement and expert guidance. Led by Ana Dahl, a certified dog trainer and licensed veterinary technician with years of experience, we provide top-quality dog training services that help dogs and their families communicate and thrive together.

Ana’s journey with dogs began early in life, where her passion for animals led her to develop a deep understanding of their behavior. Her experience ranges from working with family pets to running group dog training classes in New York City, practicing agility at the Brooklyn Dog Training Center, and now managing her own successful dog training business in Northern Colorado. With her expertise, she offers a wide array of services, including:

  • Private Dog Training Sessions: Tailored one-on-one sessions designed to address your dog’s specific needs and behavior challenges.
  • Service Dog Training: Helping you train service dogs with compassion, skill, and a focus on positive reinforcement to ensure they provide essential support.

Emotional Manifesto

Dogs give so much to us. They bring joy into our lives, companionship to the young and old, and essential function to those with disabilities. Training is not just for us—it’s for our dogs. It bridges the gap between two languages, creating understanding and love where there once may have been frustration, fear, or confusion.

I love positive training because it gives true meaning to the word “companion.” I serve as an interpreter, counselor, and coach for both humans and dogs who long for a closer relationship. I help identify the issues, train new skills, and teach you how to apply them in real-life scenarios. This partnership ensures that both human and dog needs are met, and successes are celebrated.

The joy families experience from this kind of training brings so much meaning to my life. It’s not just the dog and the owner who are affected—parents, children, grandparents, and even communities become involved. Neighbors come together to offer support, and families learn to communicate with their dogs in ways that strengthen the bond and bring harmony to their lives.

Ana’s Experience

Ana has always made animals and their behavior central to her life. From childhood pets to running group dog training classes and mentoring new trainers in New York, she has continuously grown her expertise. Ana is also a licensed veterinary technician, which gives her a unique perspective when it comes to animal health and well-being.

Her passion for continuous learning has led her to attend The Dog Behavior Conference annually, and she stays up-to-date by maintaining a membership with the Grisha Stewart Academy and regularly consulting with veterinarians. This commitment to education ensures that she is always ready to provide the best possible guidance and support for your dog.

Success Story

One memorable case involved a fearful dog who had bonded with the female owner but was terrified of the male owner. For six months, the dog would hide whenever the man entered the room and refused to eat or engage. After working with the family to better understand the dog’s fears and how to communicate their intent more effectively, the dog transformed. In just a few months, she was snuggling on the sofa with her previously feared owner. Watching their dog come out of her shell and seeing the joy in the family’s faces is what makes this work so fulfilling.
