Those Dame Dogs - Rochelle, Illinois

Whitney Dever

We started working with grace to help with our dogs jumping and just to help them with people manners!!! We have just started and are on session 8! We have more confidence having our 3 large dogs out of there crates when friends/family come over. They do 100% better!!!! She has also given advise on how to help with one of our pups that has a hard time with storms. She’s great about being available and answer questions. Even if it’s for a dog we aren’t currently doing sessions with! Grace is incredibly professional, kind and AMAZING with dogs. She doesn’t use aggression for training which is really refreshing as some of our dogs have experienced abuse/trauma!

We look forward to future sessions and we can’t wait to see allll of the progress that comes from the current tools we’ve been given!

I can not say enough good things about our experience with Those Dame Dogs. I adopted a beautiful Catahoula with severe social and anxiety issues. Grace did not just come over and teach her tricks. She taught me how to communicate with her. She discovered what motivated my pup in order to help me build her confidence. Grace was extremely sensitive to my dogs particular issues and needs and developed lesson plans accordingly. If something wasn’t working she was quick to find something else that would. We immediately saw results after just one lesson and by the end of our sessions she was like a completely different dog. It is obvious that Grace is passionate about what she does and is blessed with a special skill and talent. I do and would recommend her to everyone with a dog, young or old whether they have issues or bad behaviors or not. The time we spent with Grace strengthened the bond I have with my girl and taught us life long skills that will make her dog life more enjoyable and rewarding.

Just completed 4 week puppy training course. I learned a lot from Grace which will help me to continue my puppy's training. Grace is a wonderful patient instructor. She's magic with animals!

Grace is absolutely amazing! My pup went from mischief 24/7 to listening to commands. I can’t believe he improved so much in such a small amount of time. I’m very proud of how far he has come and I am so thankful for Grace teaching both me & my dog proper discipline. It would not have been possible without them dame dogs!

Grace probably saved my dog. We were at our wits end and considering surrendering our 8 month old labradoodle because of how high strung and destructive he was. We have had multiple dogs and never had the problems this dog was giving us. After 5 sessions he was greatly improved, however he was still very hyper. Grace recommended an e-collar, and with 2 more sessions i have a dog who goes off leash, gets the exercise he needs easily, and just listens. Could not be happier, and our home is a much more pleasant place to be. Call Grace, i promise you will not regret it!

We are the proud parents of 2 rescue dogs, each with their own strengths and weaknesses (fears and anxieties). Grace taught us how to work with the dogs to encourage the behaviors that work for our home and discourage behaviors that don’t work for our home. What a great investment! Highly recommend!

What's one of the biggest issues with dogs when going into someone else house? Them jumping on you. Its cute when they're small and fluffy and its another thing when they're huge and well.. not so soft. I didn't want to have company over bc I couldn't get my husky to stop jumping on people without putting him in his pen the moment they walked in. I didnt want that for my pup, I wanted him to be able to coincide with whomever walked through our door + it only took 1 session + consistency on our end for us to make that happen. Not only did Grace help us with his behavior, she gave us a better understanding of how our dogs' mind works and therefore strengthening our relationship with our pup. I couldn't recommend Grace enough!
