My review is WAY overdue, but I can say that it shows the work Donald does is LASTING. We requested Donald’s services a little over a year ago for our “mini” bernedoodle. She was adopted from a rescue and it was a really rough start. She completely tore up our sofa covers, chewed through our dining chairs, was very aggressive and possessive when it came to things she snatched up, walks were almost impossible and we were actually worried about the safety of our children at one point. (There were even more issues, but I’m giving a quick rundown lol.) We reached out to Donald based on an ad I saw through Instagram. We’re in Brooklyn and I saw that he services Queens and Long Island so I was skeptical that he would come to Brooklyn, but I decided to try and after our consultation, he was willing to work with us. He was a godsend. He was very down to earth, had a lot of patience, was very thorough in explaining a lot of things and very thorough with the training. On top of that, he gives you tools and advice that work and will last as long as you use them. Fast forward to now, our furniture is INTACT, she is completely crate trained, potty trained, listens to cues like sit and stay, adjusted to our schedule and doesn’t have separation anxiety when left alone and can relax independently. We still need to work on things like politely greeting without jumping on people and barking at other dogs. That is because we haven’t focused and practiced on these things as much as we should have. Like I mentioned before, Donald gives you ALL of the tools, and tips, but progress doesn’t come from hoping, it comes from consistent action. Another thing, we have used Donald’s services for boarding for a week, and it was also a great experience. If we had to go back to Donald for additional help, we would do so without hesitation. And if you are looking for a dedicated, consistent, knowledgeable trainer then this is the person you need to contact!
