About Us

After training and competing with her own dogs for 8 years, and volunteering training service dogs and teaching classes through 4-H, Danielle started Canine Initiative Training in 2016, offering private lessons and group classes. In early 2018, eager to learn more following an internship in the summer of 2017, Danielle moved to Buffalo, NY to work for learn from world-renowned trainer and behavior expert, Tyler Muto, at K9 Connection. There, she gained nearly two years of direct, hands-on experience with behavior modification and rehabilitation of severe behavior cases, ranging from reactivity to aggression to separation anxiety and more. When Danielle left, Allie took over the classes and lessons at Canine Initiative to continue offering quality training services in the interim. In December 2019, Danielle returned home to central IL to resume running Canine Initiative and to expand the programs offered.

Canine Initiative Training offers dog training services in the central IL area, covering a broad range of topics, including: puppy training, pet obedience/manners, competitive sports including AKC/UKC Obedience, Rally, and Agility, and problem solving and behavior modification for reactivity, dog aggression, human aggression, resource guarding, fear/anxiety, separation anxiety, etc.

Classes and lessons are held at our training facility just south of Tremont, IL, conveniently located off of I-155. The facility is a large, climate controlled building with rubber matting in the training area and a fenced in yard area. We also offer options for in-home private training, and occasionally hold small classes out in dog-friendly public places.

Meet the Trainer: Danielle Stuber

Danielle is 21 years old and has been training since she was 8, when she got her Pug and joined the local 4-H classes. Competitive sports - specifically Obedience, Rally, and Agility - got her started in the world of dogs, and she still actively trains and competes in those sports. Among Danielle’s competitive accomplishments with her dogs are many competitive titles, a number of Obedience and Rally High in Trial awards, and 4 wins at the UKC National Top Junior Invitational competition in Obedience and Rally, along with many other placements in the Top Junior and All Star Invitationals.

When Danielle’s Malinois started displaying reactivity towards other dogs in 2016, she sought out help and got connected with Tyler Muto, who she interned with and then worked for for almost 2 years. Behavior modification training caught and held her interest, and she now specializes in behavioral cases.

Danielle volunteers training time as much as possible. She has worked extensively fostering and training for Paws Giving Independence, a non-profit organization in Peoria, IL that trains service dogs. She occasionally fosters and trains dogs through Foster Pet Outreach and other local rescues, and helps lead and instruct the Tazewell County 4-H dog classes.

Continued education is critical to Danielle. Whether through online classes, training seminars, following and working with other trainers, reading dog training books, or watching instructional training videos, the learning never stops.

Danielle currently owns a 13 year old Pug, Angel; an 8 year old Australian Shepherd, Jasper; a 4 year old Belgian Malinois, Gideon; and a young Dutch Shepherd pup.

Meet the Trainer: Allie Fekete

Allie Fekete is 18, and lives in Morton with her three rescue dogs - a Terrier mix, The Dogtor, who is 4; a Border Collie, Einstein, who is 3, and a Belgian Malinois, Luna, who is 2. She competes in and trains for multiple sports, including Obedience, Rally, Agility, and Disc. However, her favorite thing to train is tricks, and she uses her trick training for acting jobs and local demos. Her terrier, Dogtor, is her main trick dog, but Luna is learning the ropes as well! Dogtor’s favorite tricks are skateboarding and walking handstands.

Allie has been teaching classes and private lessons for 3 years. She enjoys expanding her knowledge of dogs and training through hands on learning, books, online and in person classes, and working with experienced mentors.
