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: [object Object]

I just had my year old Cairn terrier Zinna spend 9 days with Donna at the Daily Dog. What an amazing experience it was for both my pup and myself! Donna’s training is fabulous! I can’t say enough good things about her. My pup came home today more relaxed and confident. I’d never hire anybody but Donna to train or take care of my dog. Zinnia loves her! Don’t hesitate to hire her! You won’t be disappointed.

Our girl is 6 months old. We did the 10-day overnight training program (includes 3 private training sessions for us as well) and had a great experience. Donna checked in with us every day, we received two detailed “report cards” mid way through and at the end so we could see exactly how things were going. Donna is very approachable, and she communicates clearly.
We are noticing a huge difference at home, very minimal (if any) counter surfing, jumping, or biting, and she is listening to commands so much better.
We understand it’s a process so the key is definitely being consistent and continuing the work at home. Donna’s program gave us the foundation we needed. We were losing patience trying to do it on our own, too inconsistent and lenient.
We are really happy with the results and highly recommend it. While it is pricey, the benefits outweigh that. The peace of mind that our girl has manners and listens to commands was worth it and now she is a pleasure to be with!

We are forever grateful for the training and support Donna gave our puppy and us. Rosie came back calm, confident and obedient . she walks beautifully on the loose leash, comes when called and sleeps well in her crate . Donna taught us very clear, simple and sustainable skills to keep Rosie on track. If you are looking for an amazing dog trainer , we highly recommend that you hire Donna.

Donna was exactly what we needed to help train me and 5 year old Uma with her separation anxiety and anxiety in public places! She’s quickly becoming one confident little beagle mix and instead of shaking and whining in unfamiliar environments she was able to settle and even enjoy a 1300 mile road trip which included Niagara Falls and Chicago. She’s now a gem at outdoor restaurants and is way less reactive to unfamiliar noises. Donna explains techniques clearly and has a gentle approach, goes above and beyond with recommendations for food and training supplies. She also was so accommodating in scheduling. I cannot recommend her enough!!
