Behavior & Relationship AssessmentProgram details
I meet you and your dog where you’re at by observing you together in your home. I ask clients to be themselves so I can assess communication, your relationship, and everyday challenges. Serving Marshfield, Scituate, Norwell, Duxbury, Pembroke, and nearby towns.
Off Leash Remote Collar Training LessonsProgram details
Build reliable off-leash freedom through relationship-based remote collar training. I recommend Educator collars and teach clear communication, not fear or punishment. The remote collar becomes an invisible leash that keeps your dog safe while enjoying greater freedom and reliability.
Every dog is different, and I believe in meeting each one where they’re at. During this one-hour Zoom consultation, I’ll answer your questions, share practical training tips, and help you build a personalized plan for a calmer, more enjoyable relationship with your dog. · Listed price: From $99.00

There won't be enough space to say all of the amazing things we would want to say about our experience training with Donna. We knew we would have a challenging puppy training with an English Mastiff and Donna has provided guidance, feedback, correction and positive support every step of the way! She trains you to train your dog and to create an environment that will work for the dog based on the dog's behaviors (focusing on celebrating the good ones and correcting the bad ones). She shares a ton of useful and factual information and has put us in the best position for success for a trained puppy before she gets too big to handle! We are close to completing our puppy training and you can be sure we will be scheduling more lessons as she ages so we can create the perfect dog together. Donna is a warm and caring person who puts her heart and soul into her business and it shows. She is also amazing at recommending the best nutrition and how to manage the process of using the TBTE method with feeding. We are beyond lucky to have found Donna and I can say with every confidence that if you aren't sure and are struggling to make a choice - Donna is it. Don't hesitate. She's the best!

We LOVE the Daily Dog! We use the Daily Dog services for everyday dog walking as well as boarding for when we travel. Donna & team are top-notch & we trust them whole-heartedly with our dog, Huxley. He loves his everyday dog walker, Shawna, too! :)

We absolutely LOVE Donna. We needed some help with our black lab puppy, Ralph, who has responded so well to Donna’s methods. She is very hands on, teaches you exactly what you need to do, and Ralph has a great time with her! Donna is full of positivity, encouragement, and open to any and all questions. Highly recommend!!

We recently rescued Nori from Puerto Rico and although she is very sweet, she needed some guidance and structure. One our goals was to allow Nori to walk off leash with us on the trails around town. Donna was able to help us through the process of Nori's settling into our home. We are happy to say she is a very happy girl who walks on and off leash with no issues. She has learned multiple commands and enjoys just being with us.
I highly recommend Donna for any training your dog may need. She has a lot of experience and taught us things about dogs we didn't know. Nori adores her and was a great student! Donna can even come to your house, which is what we opted to do as Nori was a little reactive around other dogs.
