FirstBarkIve been using Donna and the Daily Dog for years now. She has trained 3 of my dogs using a positive reinforcement technique. One of my dogs is a rescue and she presents unique challenges. Donna has been able to help me navigate her personality style. It's always a pleasure to work with a patient knowledgeable trainer.

We had a great experience working with Donna and would recommend her to anyone. Her techniques are effective and incorporate teaching the dog to relax, which I found to be unique and helpful.
We would like to thank Donna@daily dog for working so diligently with us and our dog(s). She is an excellent person, teacher, and dog advocate. She is knowledgable, and thorough in her training. Donna makes sure you and your pet(s) are comfortable enforcing the training methods. We will be signing up for other classes!! Patti &Matt T. Milo and Duncan

We want to give a big shoutout and a 5+ star review to Donna Dunlop for being an awesome dog trainer. She's done wonders with our cockapoo -Cooper. Donna really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. She is an expert at her job not only in providing training but helping the owners understand the strategies behind the training. She is knowledgeable on every aspect of a dogs needs and shares her knowledge generously. She taught us how to walk cooper with a loose leash rather than him pulling us down the road. He now easily responds to commands and can now greet people at the door without jumping and zoomies!! She's been super patient and friendly throughout the training, making it a fun experience for both our dog and us. Thanks to her, Cooper has become more well-behaved and confident. If you're looking for a down-to-earth and expert dog trainer, Donna is the way to go. In addition she is also a genuine, friendly and approachable person.
Donna is fantastic! I trust her completely. She’s great training and I left our pup with her for a week as well. Definitely dedicated to your dog:)
