Tracy Donaldson — Coach

Tracy brings 10 years of professional dog training experience to the HappyGentle team, and a level of instinct, patience, and heart that is genuinely rare in this field. The moment Tracy became part of HGD, she became integral to everything HGD does. Her presence, across the property, in every session, in every interaction with a dog or a family in need, is felt deeply by every coach, every dog, and every family she touches. She does not simply show up. She elevates every room she walks into. Tracy works with the full HappyGentle CRT methodology and has an exceptional ability to connect with dogs who are fearful, overwhelmed, or shut down. She meets every dog exactly where they are, and builds from there, with a steadiness and warmth that dogs respond to in a way that has to be seen to be believed. HappyGentle Dogs is better in every way for having Tracy in it.
