Joyce is INCREDIBLE!!!!! A TRUE professional and dog guru. We had reached out to Joyce and almost instantly she responded: asking questions about our pup and our family's needs.
She was so "on it," invested, and personable... we had not even met in person yet and she was already giving us some tips to help us get through the few days leading up to the first lesson.
Our first session, Joyce came over with a bunch of potential snacks and toys for our pup. This allowed us to see which ones our little guy had an interest in. In addition, she brought several packets with potty training tips, crate game instructions, etc. She walked us through the exercises and and answered all of our questions enthusiastically. We saw results almost immediately; my fiance and I were stunned.
Before the second session, I reached out to Joyce requesting that we primarily focus on our dog's independence and separation anxiety. She came to our second session with a personalized hand out on "Groot Independence." This was specialized to our home layout. I am so grateful for how she caters to us and all of her families dependent on their specific needs. It is clear how much she cares.
We cannot wait for our next meet with Joyce! I do not know who is looking more forward to it... us or our pup!

Joyce is a true dog whisperer. She understands dog behavior down to the most subtle signal of anxiety. Our dog, Ziggy, is reactive to dogs, little kids and scooters. Joyce has worked with him and me for the past two months and has made a huge difference in his comfort level. She is a pleasure to work with and very clear in her directions. More...

Joyce is kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. She was a pleasure to work with- extremely approachable and the sessions never felt rushed. She helped us understand the reasoning behind our dogs’ behaviors and offered helpful solutions, and always followed up after her visits with us. I would strongly recommend her to others. More...

Joyce Diamond has been so fabulous to work with. She has years of experience as a dog trainer and gave me many tips to help my 10 month old puppy with some of the issues that I am having with her (separation anxiety, barking at the door and other dogs). I have 3 sessions with her, and she has been so wonderful with following-up to see how Mini and I are doing after using her techniques. I highly recommend Diamond Dog Training to others in need of dog training. Her patience, experience, follow-up, professionalism and genuine love for dogs all make her an exceptional trainer. I’m so grateful to have found her through Bark. Thank you. More...

My first training session with Joyce was so fabulous. She was so patient and professional and gave me many wonderful techniques to address my 10 month old puppy’s issues. We will be working together for a few more sessions so I am hopeful that with Joyce’s help, I will be able to have a calmer, more settled puppy in a short time. I highly recommend Diamond Dog Training to others who are looking to work with an experienced, patient and professional trainer. Joyce Diamond is fabulous! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love working with people and helping them to train their dogs. I help people solve problems and develop an even better understanding of their dogs and hopefully an even better relationship.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always been self driven and work hard. Starting my own Dog Training business was a natural progression for me.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am sympathetic and understanding. I listen to the person, find out their problems and goals. I work with the person and the entire family. I also have over 30 years experience. I have seen most problems and have helped people to solve those problems.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, at the moment I do offer remote training. This allows me to work with people in all parts of the country. I usually work through Facebook Messenger to have a virtual appointment.
I also offer private in home lessons in my area within 15 miles of Norwalk, Ct.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
When I speak with a new client, I tell them I have been vaccinated and a booster. I ask if they have been vaccinated and also anyone participating in the appointment in the home.
I tell them I will be wearing a mask during the entire appointment and ask that everyone at the appointment also wear a mask. I disinfect my hands before and after each appointment and disguard the mask after the appointment. Of course for remote lessons, these precautions are unnecessary.
