About Donya

Hi, I'm Donya -- a professional dog trainer focused on in-home behavior rehabilitation, real-life training, and helping families work through challenges before rehoming or surrender becomes the only option. I specialize in dogs who need more than basic obedience -- including fear, anxiety, reactivity, lack of structure, and dogs who are misunderstood or overwhelmed in their current environment. My approach is calm, patient, and relationship-based, with an emphasis on trust, communication, and meeting the dog where they are. Training happens where life actually happens: your home, neighborhood, stores, parks, and everyday situations. I also offer structured socialization, confidence building, and guidance for families who want long-term success -- not quick fixes. If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure what to do next with your dog, I'd love the chance to help you explore another path. No judgment. Just support, clarity, and a plan forward.
