Danielle DeLizza | Owner & Master Trainer

Danielle grew up around all kinds animals and always had the desire to learn more about and create a career working with them. Danielle has 3 years of experience working as a Vet Assistant at Bayleaf Veterinary Hospital in Raleigh, NC and worked along side doctors of the practice. Knowing that working with animals was her passion, she wanted to continue her education. . .
In January of 2013, Danielle started her path in becoming a dog trainer by going to the Tom Rose School in High Ridge, MO. There, she was certified in May 2013 as a Professional Dog Trainer and persued her career further by becoming a certified Master Dog Trainer in September 2013. Here, she skilled and tested in Puppy Imprinting, Basic and Advanced Obedience, AKC Agility, Scent Detection, Tracking, Search and Rescue, and much more. After graduating Danielle worked at a daycare and boarding center as a trainer in New Hampshire. After realizing the South is where she needed to be, she quickly moved to Charleston in 2015. Danielle has experience in all breeds, energy levels, and temperates of dogs. Knowing Charleston was to be a permanent home for her and Frank, she decided to open up her own business as head dog trainer of Strong Mind K9, LLC where she can offer her expertise in on and off leash obedience as well as Service Dog training for specific needs. She is super excited and motivated to see where Strong Mind K9 will go in helping people and dogs. 

Currently she has two fur kids of her own; Rue and Vera.
