Interview with Kelli: A Journey with DPT
Kelli Wilder and her husband, Michael, embarked on a transformative journey with their pet Cane Corso, Buddha, when they enrolled him in comprehensive dog training at Dan Perata Training (DPT) in October 2023. At just seven months old and weighing nearly 100lbs, Buddha’s training was not just about obedience but also about shaping his behavior by involving the owners actively in the process.
CASSADY AND SAILOR SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW
Cassady shares her journey from struggling with her dogs to finding a framework and methodology for achieving specific results with her beloved dog Sailor.
Cassady’s mother introduced her to Dan and Natasha in 2016 when she was struggling with her Australian shepherd puppies. Despite growing up with dogs, Cassady found herself unable to handle the challenges of training on her own. After a critical incident at Chrissy Field in San Francisco, Cassady realized she needed professional help and reached out to Dan.

Crossing the Rainbow Bridge
He was the first, the first of any dog I’ve had to let go, and the landscape of grief is unfamiliar terrain to me. It’s a strange, sometimes terrifying place and I’m here without a flashlight or good boots and I’m just doing my best to stumble through. I think I’m doing better, but just when I’m feeling really solid a friend will send me a text or something will come in the mail that sends me into a gale of tears again. I’ve cried every day since he died, sometimes endlessly, other times just a few pretty tears as I’ve maintained control, and some strange part of me fears that the day I don’t cry is the day I’m disloyal to him.
