| Daphne came to us highly
recommended by the SFSPCA. We rescued a 7 month old puppy that
is a sweetheart - but in need of some good obedience
training. We also have a 1 year old who has had some
basic training, but being high-energy can always use
more. Daphne does a great job of juggling the needs of
both dogs. Just as important, she's doing a great job of
training us. We've learned a great deal about canine
motivation and behavior - therefore, we are better able to
communicate with our dogs. In addition, the dogs love her!

Daphne Robert-Hamilton came recommended to us with the
highest regard by the staff from the San Francisco Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Having recently adopted
"Tula" from the SPCA, our family needed instruction,
guidance and support in helping us to make a more pleasant and
less anxious transition.
We noted Daphne has excellent observation skills and
knowledge of behavioral issues. Daphne provided us with
training techniques, wonderful literature and the support, we
required in our adoption. We were particularly pleased with
Daphne's professionalism, promptness and also very important -
her empathy. We felt supported and Tula simply loves Daphne!
Thanks so much!
Jean Hickman, Jim Seib and Tula
...Also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your
expertise and the clarity in which you share the information.
I feel comfortable asking all questions and feel I am not
alone in this adventure. Thank you for the support and the
simple words of encouragement. It all makes a big difference

K9 Partnership offers hope for difficult
dogs and their owners. Our work with Daphne has renewed hope
that we can provide our very sweet, people orientated but dog
aggressive, six year old Boxer, with greater confidence in
unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar dogs. Be learning to
understand her stress signals and manage her behavior, we have
greatly reduced her outbursts. It is wonderful to be able to
begin enjoying our girl and to be able to look forward to
activities outside our home with her without fearing her
behavior. Quality and knowledgeable help for dogs with
behavior issues is difficult to find, many trainers decline to
work with serious issues or are not properly trained to do so.
Daphne's informed and expert guidance, supervision and
training are fostering a better quality and happier life not
only for our special girl, but numerous other dogs and
handlers. We are very grateful that we have had the
opportunity to work with Daphne.

Daphne Robert-Hamilton
is probably one of the most knowledgeable, analytical, humane,
and professional pet dog trainers that anyone could meet. You
should consider yourself very fortunate if you can take one of
her classes. She is a wealth of ongoing information regarding
so many aspects of caring and training for your dog and uses a
very visual, organized and structured presentation when working
with you and your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone
who loves their dog and wants the most positive behavior and
actions from their animal.
Sincerely,
A very satisfied former student,

I have two special needs dogs, who
together total almost 200 lbs. Before we started working with
Daphne, I would have to throw myself to the ground to prevent
them from attacking other dogs. With Daphne's help and
guidance, I can now walk my dogs in public with confidence,
knowing that I have techniques and strategies to address their
needs and cope with situations as they arise in a positive and
constructive way. The benefit to all of us is that it has
transformed my relationship with my dogs and given me an
effective way to communicate with them. If what you are
looking for is to build a compassionate and loving training
relationship with your dog that is based on mutual respect and
trust, then Daphne is your trainer.
