Hello and welcome! I’m Dani Drogue, the proud owner Doggy Kaizen. For over 15 years, I’ve devoted my professional life to understanding and nurturing the bond between humans and dogs. With a background in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and over a decade of experience working with preschool aged children, I’ve spent my career bridging the gap between two-legged and four-legged learners and their guardians.

At Doggy Kaizen, my mission is to help you and your furry friend grow together, fostering a relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. I hold a CPDT-KA certification and I’m an approved AKC evaluator, and I’m always looking to grow my own skills and prove them through certifications on my name, and titles on my dogs’! 

Outside of work, I’m still immersed in the dog world. I am active in conformation, nosework, and tricks! Also, I spend a lot of time walking dogs, and feeding dogs, and cleaning dogs, and cleaning up after dogs …. Yeesh.

And on those rare occasions I am not doing “dog stuff”, I love exploring my other hobbies – I’m an ardent lover of art, a green(ish)-thumbed gardener, and an aspiring archer. These hobbies, much like my work, reflect my love for creativity, nature, and precision. 

So, that’s me in a nutshell. I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you’re looking for expert dog training or you simply want to understand your canine companion better, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Doggy Kaizen!
