Due to Donna’s training and gentle hands on approach, our boy North is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. He still enjoys his twice weekly walks with Donna, and knows when she is scheduled to come walk North. As long as Donna is able we will continue to welcome her knowledge, expertise and kindness for as long as North is part of our family. SHE CHANGED HIS LIFE!!!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Donna Barrett and the positive reinforcement training methods she has taught us. We have had dogs for many years but while we knew a lot, we knew we needed help with a puppy we adopted in December of 2020. Ruby was an 8 month female Red Heeler X and it quickly became clear that she had been living feral although she had been fed and was in reasonably good physical health. She displayed both fearful and reactive behaviour.

I remember the day I reached out to Donna, I was not sure she would respond after I wrote in my subject line, “Jack the Nipper”. But she did! From the moment Jack, myself and my husband met Donna we knew she was our angel and would lead Jack in the right direction. COVID but a damper on some of the training she normally does. Having said that, she gave us the tools tips and tricks that helped Jack settle down and be the wonderful puppy he is today.

We have a standard poodle (with her full tail). Even at the age of 6 months, Maggie was very headstrong ....... after all, she is still a very young pup. Some of the problems were nipping, biting, and jumping up on people and objects. When taking her for walks she was always pulling on the leash.The good news is that with Donna's training, these bad habits are disappearing. Donna has taught us to be consistent with our commands
