My doberman Stella has been working with Don and playing with his pals on a weekly basis for over 4 years and it has been the best experience. Don's structured daycare approach works to both physically AND mentally challenge and stimulate his pals. Stella comes home completely exhausted each day. I HIGHLY recommend Don's Pals!
Don is truly the best thing that ever happened to me and my pup (Zuko). So easy to work with and just the most genuine person. He truly has a gift when it comes to animals, Zuko has responded so well to every visit with his pals. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with someone.

I cannot say enough positive things about Don! I was connected to him through friends in Pittsburgh. I am in Philadelphia and have been struggling with an anxious and reactive dogs for several years. I was losing hope after spending $1000s of dollars on trainers who had failed me. I reached out to Don on Instagram for some advice and it has been the most amazing experience for both my dog, Brody, and me! What I loved the most about Don is that he truly cares. He constantly checks in asking for video updates, gives honest feedback, and doesn’t just give you a trick that he claims will “fix” the issue. He takes the time to explain to you your dog’s body language and how you can adapt to build better communication with your dog. It’s not about the money for him. He loves what he does and cares about your relationship with your dog. He is my fairy dog father!
We have had the pleasure of having Don watch our puppy for about a year now and are thrilled to know him. He is a kind, thoughtful person who really enjoys knowing each dog individually and looks after them as his own family. Thanks so much Don for taking such good care of our puppy!
