ABOUT US
I’m Morgan Donahue, the owner and trainer behind Feywild Dog Training. My journey with dogs began when my doctors recommended to me a service dog to help mitigate the symptoms of my connective tissue disorder. From that moment, I jumped headlong into the world of training. Owner training a service dog can be a difficult process, and it is one I understand first-hand.
I hold a BA in Psychology from Lawrence University. I am currently pursuing a MA in Counseling Psychology. My studies leave me uniquely qualified to understand not only how to change a dog’s behavior, but also leave them with a healthier mind-set. My training methods are scientifically-based and Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive (LIMA). This means that I keep training as fair and pleasant for my canine clients as possible, with your physical safety and their mental health in mind. I am an IAABC-ADT. This accrediting body outlines professional standards for dog trainers.
I have hands-on experience through the mentorship of Terri Vaira of FoxGem Dogs, LLC. In addition, I have trained alongside numerous service dog handlers to help their dogs in training reach their full potential. If you have any questions about experience with specific issues or skills, please reach out!
DIZZY
Service dog in training, demo dog extraordinaire!
[KN]'s Original Spin at Feywild CGCA TKN DN BCAT FITB RATI RATS, "Dizzy" is Morgan's personal service dog in training. She is trained in cardiac alert, deep pressure therapy, item retrieval, spacial buffer tasks, and more! She is being trained in a wide range of other tasks. In addition to her service work, Dizzy competes in barn hunt, dock diving, and fastCAT. We hope to pursue rally, competitive obedience, and animal assisted therapy for other humans in her free time in the future.
Dizzy acts as a demo dog and "helper dog" (dog providing a calm, happy, confident presence) periodically throughout some lessons with Feywild.
