10/10 recommend Donna she is very knowledgeable, taught us a lot and has helped our crazy boy on walks so much, in just two weeks he has improved more than I expected going into this. Very happy we chose her!
Donna is amazing! From our initial consultation, we knew we found the perfect match. As first-time pup parents with an active and anxious golden retriever Rex, we had a lot to learn. We work with Donna for training and boarding. Rex is always so happy to see her! She's incredibly knowledgable, easy to talk with, patient, and caring. Highly recommend!

I boarded Big Papi ten days with Donna because we had to do a long trip and I couldn't be happier. Knowing that Papi was well taken care of let me relax and enjoy the trip. She took the best care of him, and make him feel at home, he was well attended, safe and comfy and also he had time for fun and walks. She also sent me a lot of pictures and updates during the boarding which made me feel well informed and relax about how Papi was doing. I am very happy with choosing Donna and The Daily Dog and will recommend them to all dog owners. Thank you, Donna, for taking care so well of Big P!

Donna is the best trainer around! She worked with our long haired mini dachshund puppy, Rosie, and we could not be more please with our experience! Rosie is excellent on her leash walks, and following all the basic, safety commands. Donna also worked so well with our four kiddos when they were present at lessons and taught them how to play with Rosie while teaching her at the same time. We had many holiday gatherings and Rosie at only 8 months old received an abundant amount of praise from all our visitors at how well behaved she was. They could not believe how calm she was and truly enjoyed interacting with her! I could not recommend Donna enough, if you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate dog trainer look no further Donna is that and more!
