Donna takes pride in the fact that every recommendation offered is unique and individual and based on the client's ability to follow through with the plan as part of their everyday life.
"Dogs are not humans. They belong to a different species. If you want a dog to achieve success in our human world, take the time to develop an understanding of how they communicate and protect them from those humans who are still figuring it out."
