Donna is amazing i have had 2 session with with my 7 month labrador and what a change in his behaviour, would highly recommend Donna for her knowledge ,patience. Donna has not only helped with Rocco’s confidence but also with my confidence. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thank you so much Donna 😀
We had our first session with Donna a few weeks ago and we had a positive experience from the first contact. She is knowledgeable, experienced and showed an incredible kindness to our dog who needs support with reactiveness. She was patient and took time to explain everything clearly, what she was doing and why whilst showing us how. We learned so much just in one session and the notes that followed were detailed, personalised with lots of ideas of starting points and how we might progress with training. These notes are excellent as a reference point and for keeping us on track with training. We are starting to see small progressions which we were unsure we would see. She was realistic and honest about supporting a high level of reactivity and how that might affect our dog now and in the future which we appreciated. Would 100% recommend, thanks so much Donna!
Incredible insight and guidance all the way with Donna. Encouraged me to watch for subtle cues and act on them rather than allowing unwanted and potentially overwhelming cycles of behaviour to spiral. Incredible progress with separation anxiety - my 10 month old lad was 6.5 months old when he started and I couldn't get to the door without him whining and stressing. He's currently able to entertain himself and snooze for well over 3 and 3/4 hours and counting now. A compassionate, positive, intelligent and effective trainer. Highly recommended!!!!
Donna has been an incredible helping us with our little puppy Winnie. She is extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer every question we had (and we had a lot!) During our 1 to 1 sessions, we discussed the challenges we were having and worked on some tailored exercises. Donna would take notes and after each session, she provided an incredibly detailed follow-up document filled with clear instructions and exercises, making it easy to review and practice everything at home. We could really see her knowledge and passion for dog training coming out during out sessions. The level of detail and support is outstanding, and we are so grateful for her guidance in setting Winnie up for success. Thank you very much, and we would highly recommend to anyone bringing home a new puppy!
Donna is absolutely fab! She communicated with me in the run up to our training session so clearly and gave me a really clear idea of what to expect. She is so friendly and my dog, Mack, loved her. When it came to the session itself, she was so good at explaining things and was so patient with Mack and me and helped us understand his reactivity and offered some strategies to practice as well. Super friendly and informative all at the same time. Donna made me feel optimistic about the future and even followed up with incredibly comprehensive notes to refer back to. I wouldn't hesitate to call on her for more advice in future. 😊
