Doaa’s training is not like any other training I’ve tried – and that is a very good thing!I have a very sensitive rottie and he has trauma, both from a bad vet and from bad trainers in the past. Just because he’s a rottie these macho guys told me I have to play alpha with him…but I don’t want to have a relationship with my dog where he is always submitting the “the alpha” and never gets to express himself or have fun. He was soooo obedient, to a fault. It created anxiety for him. Ever since he was a little pup he’s been insecure, and those past training programs exacerbated his natural insecurities.Doaa’s training program is ALL about boosting his confidence and empowering him. Giving him freedom to express himself – safely – so that he doesn’t get all this pent up anxiety. I am blown away by the transformation I’ve seen in my dog. I was convinced (by these past trainers) that I needed to give my dog up to someone who could be a better leader for him. And now – 4 months into Doaa’s program – I’m in a position where I cannot actually believe I ever considered giving him up. He’s doing SO well. When you boost your dog’s confidence and encourage them to use and listen to their own intuition, the positive effects permeate ALL areas of their life and behaviour. My dog has gone from snapping at (or even biting on one occasion) people for trying to pet him, to actually seeking snuggles.I highly recommend Doaa, particularly if you think your dog is insecure or sensitive. Her program is just what they need. You need to have an open mind and forget everything you think you know about dog training. This is the 5th training program I’ve tried for my dog and it’s the only one that makes sense to me – a relationship based on trust and respect and safe amounts of autonomy for us both. We are both happier than we’ve ever been together.Thank you so much Doaa! I’m excited to continue learning more and see him grow more.

After trying just about everything to get my two cats to get along, I turned to online cat behavioural therapy with Doaa. It worked wonders for my two completely opposite cats.
When I adopted my second cat, I was hopeful they’d become instant buddies – but it was chaos from day one. My first cat is calm, gentle and fearful. My newer cat is high energy, playful, and…doesn’t understand personal boundaries. As you can imagine, things got tense quickly.
Doaa helped me understand my cats’ personalities, needs, how to communicate with them better. What I didn’t realize untill I started working with Doaa was that both of my cats were carrying trauma. Doaa helped me understand that their behviors weren’t “bad” or “difficult” – they were coping mechanisms. Once I saw that, everything shifted. I wasn’t just trying to get them to get along anymore, I was helping them feel safe and seen in their own ways.
We worked through a structured plan that included scent swapping, safe zones, positive reinforcement, and more importantly patience. Doaa was there every step of the way, providing encouragement and feedback. She responds to messages quickly, and if I had concerns I would send her videos of my cats for her to analyze and provide feedback. Thank you, Doaa!

Doaa spent three months helping Toby, our senior rescue chihuahua mix, with wonderful results for our family. She has a true gift for understanding the needs of complex animals, especially those that may have experienced trauma or abuse in their lives. Upon meeting Toby she was able to understand his emotional needs and stresses and come up with workable and creative solutions for us to meet those needs. As a result, there were many positive behavioural changes for our family.
Within three months, we experienced the following changes: most importantly, Toby was visibly happier. He barked much less frequently and a stress-related skin condition he was suffering from cleared up. The number of accidents he had inside our home drastically reduced (this was huge for us as it has been a major challenge for us the entire seven years he has been part of our family). And lastly, he became more patient and tolerant of my one year old daughter. Our family is so grateful to Doaa for her care for Toby and beautiful understanding of his needs. We are so glad we made the investment to hire her to help us, and hope to work again with her in the future. Our only regret is not hiring her sooner- we recommend her extremely highly!
★★★★★
Doaa is exceptional. She is one of those human beings who truly lives her calling.
She is like the cat whisperer to me.After years of trying to figure out, how to create a peaceful home for our two very different cats on our own (and almost at at the point of considering giving one up,) Doaa stepped in and went above and beyond to reassure me that did not need to be an option. ( Thank god and she was right!)
She paid attention to all the little details and created a road map for us to follow with frequent check ins and access to her to ensure we felt supported with all the changes. She is always very responsive and there to hold my hand whenever I needed!
Doaa’s natural connection to animals is a gift that I can’t put words to. She has changed my home forever and I will highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of assistance with their fur babies for any challenges you may be facing.
Forever Grateful

Doaa is an amazing holistic dog trainer who has helped us with our 1 year old Aussiedoodle. After being neutered, our dog had a lot of reactions to humans and other dogs, so we were very worried. Doaa took the time to explain to us what it would take to help our dog become more comfortable and better behaved. She gave us valuable insight and guidance on how to be compassionate and understanding dog owners.
With Doaa’s help, our dog has made tremendous progress. He can now interact with humans and dogs and we know how to move forward to continue progressing his training. We are so grateful for Doaa and her expertise. She is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of holistic dog training.
We highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dog’s training. She is an incredible trainer who made a huge difference in our lives!

Doaa helped me understand the underlying issue of my cat. My baby Luna became extremely anxious after a traumatic pigeon encounter so I took her to the vet numerous times and they kept giving her injections but it only helped short term and she would return to her stressed and anxious self.I felt stuck so I reached out to Doaa for help and she really listened to my concern and was able to help me understand WHY my cat was so stressed and HOW to help improve the situation. She was able to provide continuous support at any time and answered any questions or concerns.I highly recommend Doaa to help with your pet needs! Thank you so much for helping us!! Luna and Simba appreciate you so much!
★★★★★
Our pups love Doaa! They get so excited when she comes. Since working with her, they have gained so much confidence and are much more social with other dogs and people – she really has helped enrich their lives! She really took the time to build a relationship with both of them, even when one started off quite timid with her – now they are best friends.
The dogs are also a pleasure to walk for us now, which wasn’t always the case with two enthusiastic young puppies.
★★★★★
As a dedicated pet parent of a spirited corgi, I wanted someone who truly understands dogs and can handle their unique personalities – especially a dog like mine who has huge boundaries and doesn’t appreciate them being crossed.
I’m so grateful for Doaa. My corgi can be very reactive, and finding someone with some unique ideas, patience, skill, and understanding to handle my corgi’s reactivity was such a challenge.
Doaa’s consistent approach has made a noticeable difference in my dog’s behaviour. My corgi now sits and watches people pass by out the window, is less fearful with visitors, and has improved a lot on walks. Each walk isn’t just exercise; it’s a structured training session where my corgi learns to manage reactivity and focus in real-world situations. I like that her focus is on my dog and what would work best for him.

We are first-time cat owners, to a 3 y/o female feline rescue, Cocoa. Doaa has been a part of our journey since we first consulted her earlier this year, which was especially valuable, given that there was no previous history that came with Cocoa.
Doaa is a fast observer, and understands cats in ways that my husband and I can’t even process. At the initial consult, she came to quickly understand Cocoa’s disposition, and really understood how to 1) solve her litter box issues, 2) catify the home, and 3) build feline confidence – paired with actual, actionable advice with lots of different product suggestions. Doaa is a must-have contact / educator / support for first-time (or really anyone looking to understand their pets further!) owners.
THANK YOU DOAA!

Our experience with Doaa and how she completely changed our little kitty’s life and ours was remarkable!
Our kitty was brought over from Bali 7 years ago, and over the years had grown very anxious. He would wake up up screaming and meowing through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for the last 7 years. We finally got him on some medication that would sometimes help, but our issue was fixed. I came across Doaa online and at this point being desperate was willing to try anything and everything.
After 2 months of working with her, and cat is completely off his medication, and sleeps through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! It’s a miracle. Doaa is a true miracle, and knows cats inside and out and knew exactly what his issue was. We toughed out the process, along the way with some doubts that we would ever get sleep, but she encouraged us to stay strong and stick with it. We give Doaa a million stars, highly recommend!
★★★★★
I’m so glad we happened to meet Doaa while she was walk-training another dog. She masterfully handled my dog and the one she was training, and so I asked, “Are you a dog trainer?”
Since then, she’s been working with our rescue pup and helping to unlock her full potential. Doaa is a natural with animals, and is also great at listening to pup-parents needs. Definitely would recommend!
★★★★★
Doaa is so so helpful with our one eyed cat. We were having issues with her biting at our hands and Doaa gave us all the tips and tricks after visiting her. You can tell Doaa is a super caring pet owner and that transcends into caring about not only her own animals but yours as well. Highly recommend her services as she is very well informed and responsive.
★★★★★
Doaa has been incredible for us. She helped us trained our cats. The plan that created and implemented to train our cat was very effective and simple to follow in between her visit. She is a natural with pets with our cats immediately feeling at their ease with her.
Besides that she’s always available for advices or to answer question at any time. She really has the well-being of the pets as her first interest and she provides an excellent service.
Our cats love her!!! We surely recommend her!
★★★★★
Doaa is an incredible dog trainer! Her love for dogs shines through in everything she does, and her enthusiasm and deep knowledge make training both effective and enjoyable. She has been amazing with my reactive dog, helping us build confidence and make real progress. I’m so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer!
★★★★★
Doaa is so wonderful with our pup! She’s helped us with training, and walks since he was a puppy. She was a great help when our pup was in a cast after surgery and during rehab.

Really helped our two cats get along. Also a fountain of information of anything pet related that was extremely useful
★★★★★
Out of nowhere my 1.5 year-old indoor, social, attention loving cat suddenly started peeing on my bed. I tried everything: vet, urine test, antibiotics, change diet, feliaway, move the litter box, change the litter. Nothing worked!
After googling for a while I stumbled across Doaa’s website. She immediately understood my cat’s personality, investigated the home and made a whole bunch of notes for me with suggestions—that through all of my research had never come up. I was thrilled to have a game plan.
It took some time but we’re finally able to nail down why she was peeing on the bed.
Now it’s incredibly rare that she’ll pee on the bed and when she does I know exactly what I did to insight her wrath.
We’ve even started car training which has been going swimmingly due to my cats curious and outgoing nature.
Whenever I tell people about Doaa I always refer to her as my cat’s “therapist” because that’s what she was, she was acting as the interpreter by advising me on how my cat was feeling. Even though we solved the peeing issue she has continued to give me valuable advice on how to approach other potential situations.
Through all of this Doaa was incredibly accommodating to us and was always available via text when I had questions or concerns or even just proud little videos I could send. I can’t recommend her enough, especially if your pet is medically fine.
★★★★★
Doaa is helping me integrate my new rescue pup with the resident cat- a process I’ve been very anxious about. I appreciate all of the help she has given me through the process. She is very thorough and goes above and beyond and provides tonnes of recommendations. She’s also always available for questions via WhatsApp between appointments. She has made the process much less stressful than it would have been without her! I recommend her for any cat/dog introduction scenario!
★★★★★
Doaa has been really helpful in our cat introduction process. She understands cats so well, we immediately saw improvements in their general mood and relationship. Everytime we met she was able to find out what the issue might be and suggest changes accordingly. We are very grateful to have found her.
★★★★★
Doaa is very genuine and warm and seems like our puppy had a realllly good time with her. She showered us with loads and loads of handy tips and tricks. Absolutely recommended. Thank you Doaa!
★★★★★
I cannot express enough how much I recommend Doaa for cat-to-cat introductions. We were struggling for months introducing our new cat to our resident cat and, with Doaa’s help, feel better than ever about their relationship.
Doaa provides exceptional service and is available via text whenever we have a question or challenge. I can tell Doaa loves our cats SO much and I am very confident in her knowledge as a cat expert and trainer.
I am so glad that we found Doaa. Thank you!!!
★★★★★
Doaa is the best trainer you can think of for your pet. She genuinely cared so much about us, our cat and our dog. I have never met anyone who loves animals that much. She gave us valuable, detailed and useful tips on how to improve our walks with our dog. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for everything, Doaa.

Doaa was AMAZING!! From the very thorough initial consultation to the consistent check-ins afterward, it was clear that she really cared about my cat.

My cat LOVES Doaa from the first interaction itself. She is so good with him.
Doaa is very punctual, reliable, passionate and caring towards cats. She also has given me several tips about what food is healthy for my cat.

Doaa was amazing with our cat, Izzy. From the initial consultation to the very last day, Doaa was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and it was obvious that she cared deeply about animal welfare. 10/10 experience

★★★★★
Doaa is very caring and respectful and places the safety and well-being of your pet first. And she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend Doaa’s services to anyone.
★★★★★
Doaa has been amazing with our rescue. Pip is reactive and nervous around new dogs and people. But it took her next to no time to warm up to Doaa. Doaa, not just being a genuine dog lover, she also has a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs who need a bit more attention, focusing on positive reinforcement. We would warmly recommend her.
★★★★★
I don’t think I could say enough nice things about Doaa. She was incredibly affectionate and attentive with our 3 cats. She was also very adept at dealing with our special needs cat.
★★★★★
Doaa’s care, love, and responsibility for my 2 dogs far exceeded our expectations! My dogs are not the easiest as the Chihuahua is tiny, age 14 with arthritis, and the bigger dog is a rescue with fear-based behavioural issues. She is very positive, knowledgeable, and skilled with calming and training– she gave me several tips.
We highly recommend Doaa!
