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

We couldn’t recommend Donna and The Daily Dog more highly! When we got our German Shorthaired Pointer as a rehomed pup with very little formal training, we were lucky to find Donna to help us with EVERYTHING from understanding the dog’s perspective, to proper training techniques, tips on products, and basics of E-collar training. Donna has a special talent for communicating her vast knowledge without making it feel overwhelming - in fact she makes training fun. And Ginkgo loves her boarding stays – she always comes back happy and just a little bit smarter!

I need to give a big shout out to Donna @Daily Dog!
When leaving our fur baby Bella at 7-months for our first time I felt comfortable and confident that she would be taken care of, safe, and loved in amazing hands. We did the 10-day training package to help us learn how to best communicate with Bella so she can be the best she can be. The updates and pictures during her stay were impressive and enjoyed hearing and seeing how she was doing. I was absolutely thrilled at how much Bella learned and how helpful Donna was at our pick-up training session teaching us what Bella had learned so we can continue this work at home. Look forward to our continued trainings with Donna!!

Donna and the Daily Dog are the best around, I highly recommend working with them! I was lucky enough to have been referred to Donna when I got a puppy and was looking for a trainer. As a first time dog owner, Donna was patient enough to educate me as well as work with me to train my dog. Starting with fundamentals and progressing as the dog learned her commands.
Donna also has a true understanding of dog behavior which is extremely helpful in training and overcoming any behavioral issues. Now I have an obedient, well trained dog who gets to live her best life!
