About Joy Endsley
Founder of D&T Dog Training | Longwood, FL
Helping Dogs and Their People Thrive Through Positive Reinforcement
Hi, I’m Joy Endsley—dog trainer, lifelong animal lover, and founder of D&T Dog Training. Based in Longwood, Florida, I specialize in in-home dog training and puppy training for families in Central Florida who want more connection, less chaos, and real results rooted in kindness.
My journey into dog training started with my own pups and the many amazing rescue dogs I’ve worked with over the years. These dogs didn’t just teach me how to train—they taught me patience, resilience, and the power of trust. It’s those lessons that shape every session I offer today.
My Training Philosophy
Training should never be about control—it should be about communication. That’s why I use only positive reinforcement (R+) methods.
Reward-based training doesn’t just teach dogs what to do—it helps them want to do it. We focus on encouragement, not correction. On building skills through repetition, reward, and relationship. And on making training a joyful, stress-free experience for both you and your dog.
The result? A stronger bond, better behavior, and a dog who feels safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
Areas of Expertise
I specialize in:
In-Home Puppy Training – Potty training, crate training, socialization, leash skills, and basic cues during your dog’s most impressionable months.
In-Home Dog Training – Teaching adult dogs essential manners, reducing problem behaviors, and improving communication in everyday real-world environments.
Working With Rescue Dogs – I tailor every plan with empathy and care to help rescue dogs feel secure, confident, and ready to connect.
My clients love that I bring structure and heart to each session—balancing effective training with compassionate support for both dog and human.
