We have a 15 month old Doberman puppy, both of his rear feet were rotated out. We contacted Donna and made an appointment for her to evaluate him. She had us move him and do different exercises so that she could evaluate him and come up with a plan. The plan was 4 exercises to strengthen the muscles and hopefully start to get his feet aligned. She was super patient with both River and Richard :) We were all amazed at how much progress he made. His back feet are noticeably straighter. I would highly recommend her — super happy with her approach and River's progress!

I can't recommend Downeast Dog Sports enough!! Donna has a wealth of knowledge and is incredible at teaching. She's given me so much great advice for managing my wild child, and thanks to her we have been able to really start to enjoy the world of dog sports! Also, disc league is the highlight of our weeks — the community that surrounds Downeast Dog Sports is one of the warmest and most welcoming around.

Wonderful experience with my dog, Rio. We worked on improving weaves and it was exceptional! I learned much more about my dog's interpretation of my body movements and positions. It was so helpful and Rio responded well. I will be going back!

I have used a wide variety of services from Donna! With both of my dogs who are wildly different. Donna is extremely knowledgeable and always has a suggestion or idea for my problem behaviors. My favorite service she provides is the video review option — an online service that allows you to work independently. As a certified professional dog trainer myself I find this extremely useful. I cannot recommend it enough! The video review option for dog training is a HUGE game changer.

My dog Bailey used to HATE cats. Within one session, Donna not only identified the issue but she said it was salvageable and gave me the tools to improve the situation. Within a few months we had eliminated all the chasing. Now, two years later, we have inter species snuggling. She literally saved my family. Thank you so much Donna!!!
