Donna Newman has 15 years of experience working with shelter dogs as a volunteer, adoption advocate, and trainer. She has been training dogs and training volunteers to train dogs at the Central New York SPCA for several years.
Training Philosophy
Donna’s philosophy is that training should be a positive experience for both dogs and their people; when dogs know what’s expected from them, they’re calmer, more confident, and happier.
