I feel like she is judging my dog for what breed she is a cane corso I called Saturday to get a evaluation and first thing she says is I don’t want to see a bunch of untrained cane corso puppy’s running around I get it I wouldn’t want such a powerful breed just roaming around that’s the whole point of me getting her in classing is to get her trained so we talked she told me I could come in Monday for my evaluation reminded it’s Saturday I called Monday comes she says she can’t come in and she had to reschedule didn’t even offer me another day to come in so honestly I feel like she is just playing with my time and my dogs time

I had a stray coonhound that showed up on our property stay with Donna for a board and train. He was timid, a runner, afraid of strangers, everything. We had him for a year, and we're unable to get through to him. After the stay with Donna, and a month or so for us to know how to react, the dog since has done a complete 180. We are roughly two months out of Donna's training. He learned how to be a family dog, does almost always does what we ask. I've told many people that the money we spent was the best money I ever spent. I would not hesitate to recommend Donna and Big River. Canine to anyone. Thank you Donna! Update - 4 years out and he is a perfect family dog. I still recommend Donna any chance i get. Now if I can only get my coonhound to stop getting in fights with Racoons. lol

I don't know what magic concoction she put in a cauldron to whip up the good dog spell, but WoW! One afternoon spent with Donna, Cutie and Gizmo, my Jackie Russell's, were so happy, they get excited when I say the words "daycare" or "Donna", they aren't chasing outside of yard boundaries anymore, and seem calmer. I hoping to start my weekly regimen soon if she will have them. I have had pretty bad boarding experiences in the past and we were skeptical, but that is all gone. Donna and her staff are amazing people and I can't thank them enough for taking care of my babies!

Donna is a miracle worker. Our new puppy went from totally unmanageable to a very good boy after the first session and he is continuing to learn new things with every session. I highly recommend the services offered here as it is well worth the money and can make a huge difference for you and your dog.

Recently, we began sessions with Donna for our 2 year old GSD. We didn't know her, but after reading all the great reviews, and her qualifications, I texted her. It has become the best choice I've made all year!!! She is a wealth of information about all things canine. My new 411. 😁 Donna is professional, tough, kind, straight forward, helpful, and so caring to our new dog and us. We are already incredibly grateful to her. Looking forward to learning more for our sweet Lovey. Thank you, Donna! 💛
