Debra is fantastic. She was incredibly patient with my toy poodle puppy and always led with kindness and understanding. Debra uses a reward-based training approach rather than discipline, which was very important to me-and it shows in the results. My puppy genuinely loves her and responds beautifully to her guidance. I couldn't recommend Debra more highly.

As a new puppy owner, I have all the typical puppy challenges, and I was worried about doing things wrong. What's making this training so successful is how accessible and supportive Deb is even beyond our actual formal lessons. She makes everything easy to understand and shows me how to train my puppy myself. With her guidance, I'm learning how to be consistent, confident, and clear, and my puppy is already learning the basics while bonding with me every day. This training isn't just helping my dog—it's helping me.

I am impressed with what Deb was able to teach my bundle of energy, Bentley the Australian Shepherd puppy. After each session, she would go over with me what was taught during the lesson, and made me repeat all of the commands and hand signals that were given, so that I could see that he understood. I then used this information to practice with him on our daily walks, or sometimes just practice in the backyard to get him used to understanding what he was being tasked with. The key here was repetition, repetition, repetition until he "got it." Deb answered all of the questions that I had in a manner that made sense to me. She remains available to me should I have any questions. It is such a pleasure to be able to walk Bentley on a loose leash, as opposed to being pulled by a locomotive. I would recommend Deb as a dog trainer without reservation.

Debra is an amazing pet sitter. When I am away I feel completely at ease knowing my dog's Riley and Rosie are in the best hands. She is extremely responsible, loving and nurturing. Whether it be administering medication and providing the extra love and support needed by my 13 year old, or playing interactive games and taking long walks for our 4 year old, she is always attentive to all their needs. I love the daily videos she sends. She is a true gem!"

Pet Parent to Rosie & Remi (Standard Golden Doodles)

When I moved to FL two years ago, I was worried I would never find another pet sitter that I trusted as much as my former sitter. I interviewed 10-15 businesses. While there were plenty of wonderful people I met, Debra's Dog Den was the only company that I felt took the safety and well-being of my fur babies as serious as I did. With one anxious dog and one Senior dog, I needed someone who would be patient and calm with them. Debbie spent weeks nurturing a relationship with my anxious dog - never giving up. Now, Snoooy cries from excitement when he sees Debbie's car! With Debbie, you get someone who will love your fur baby as much as you as do, is knowledgeable on dog behavior and training as well. She is one of a kind - I can't imagine leaving my babies with anyone else!"

I cannot say enough good things about Debra. She has been Maggis dog sitter for almost 3 years. Debra loves the dogs and is extremely dependable and when Debra is with your dog you can feel completely at ease”
