Dana Parris

Spokane, WA Dog Trainer

Dana Parris is Highland Canine Training’s professional dog trainer, covering Spokane, Coeur D’Alene and the surrounding areas.

Dana’s life has involved dogs from a very young age! When she was six months old, Dana’s family acquired a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Jock. He would be a part of Dana’s life until she was almost a teenager. After that, her family acquired another Staffie, Charlie, and then a couple of months later, a Prague Ratter named Oscar. Growing up around dogs has fueled Dana’s passion for training them professionally.

A graduate of the Master Dog Trainer program at the School for Dog Trainers, Dana has extensive experience working with a variety of dogs. In particular, she enjoyed the working dog portion of the six-month course, citing detection, trailing and bitework as just a few of the awesome capabilities of these amazing dogs.

Dana has the skillset, temperament and knowledge to help resolve problematic behaviors with dogs. She understands the challenges faced by dog owners and is enthusiastic about helping improve the bond between dogs and their owners, as she explains:

“For me, miscommunication – owners not understanding how their dogs learn and understand – is one of the biggest barriers I see to successful dog-owner relationships. It is really important for me to show dog owners how to communicate and interact with their dog.”

With her passion for improving the relationship between dogs and their owners, Dana says that helping clients in Spokane wasn’t a difficult decision.

“I have always been enthusiastic about working with dogs and I’ve wanted to learn as much as I could so that I can help others.

It is so rewarding to see the changes you can make to a dog’s life – and the life of their owners, too! Sometimes, the simple things can make a huge difference. Other times, a situation requires a more complex solution. But regardless of the situation, the outcome – and seeing the improvements you can make – is amazing.”
