TLC Dog Trainer

Donna has Pluto’s best interest at heart. My Pluto is a very cute stubborn hound. He’s a rescue that has a lot of anxieties. I have to be honest and say that Donna’s suggestions have been more helpful than the 3 different vets we have seen! We kept getting the “that’s just how he is” response from them. She spent time getting to know him before teaching us how to better approach him and his needs. One of his issues and anxieties was with eating. He has gained 7lbs since following Donna’s suggestions! She made it clear from the beginning that she was here for Pluto and that her goal was to help Pluto live more comfortably and happily. Pluto tried to nip at our first trainer after introducing the ‘sit’ command. Donna had Pluto sitting, waiting, and leaving it in weeks. What worked best

Donna is great, she is honest, helpful and caring about you and your dog companion!! She is very experienced and has provided us with many reading resources, phone calls to answer questions, in addition to hands on training.

We’ve had dogs our whole lives and worked with many trainers, but Donna is truly the best. Her gentle, non-fear-based, TLC approach stands out, and after just two sessions we’ve already seen remarkable improvements. We couldn’t recommend Donna more highly!

Donna Gleason is a consummate professional with a vast store of experience in working with dogs, yet her approach is kind, sensitive, and full of good humor. I contacted Donna after a biting incident with our 18-month puppy. Donna came to our home to work with us and our dog (who is a rescue), observed our family dynamic, and provided specific and personalized strategies for adjusting both human and canine behavior. During our four sessions together, Donna guided us in thoughtful and easy to implement training, helped us to recognize signs of stress in our dog, and calmed our fears as first-time dog owners. Her follow-up emails, with helpful links to videos and articles were also greatly appreciated. I would recommend Donna Gleason without reservation.

Donna was a fantastic trainer, she was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us. Donna helped us through behavior issues with our dog and we were given easy to follow, manageable exercises to work on. She truly cares about animals and teaching owners how to understand their dog’s behavior.
