After a bit of a lull, donkey experiences are starting to pick back up! Yesterday I introduced a wonderful local family to the joys of donkeys. They had a fantastic time loving on all the donkeys, and walking all of them (yes, even Gracie took a turn!) around the obstacle course!

They got a bit of an adventure on the neighborhood walk, when Gracie (who I was walking) spooked at a bike and some horses running, and got loose. We calmly headed her home, and she allowed me to easily catch her once she was back in her familiar environment. I have a bit more work to do before I attempt another group walk with her, but sometimes the only way to find that out is by doing it. Luckily it ended well, and Polly and Daff were angels on the walk.

I schedule experiences seven days a week, still early in the morning or at 6 pm, until it cools off. If ypu would like to find out more, check out www.desertdonkeyexperiences.com or contact me at 480-372-3290.

Diane, a formerly feral donkey who did not want anything to do with people when I first met her several months ago. Through positive reinforcement, she learned to enjoy human company, ear and face rubs, and scratches. Her transformation has been nothing short of miraculous, but I see this regularly. These techniques work! And now her wonderful owner is able to easily handle her as well, and has realized just how smart and FUN donkeys can be!

Please, if you have an unfriendly, scared, wild, or traumatized donkey, do not hesitate to reach out! I offer in person training in the East Valley area of Phoenix, and virtual sessions throughout the world.

Happy 7th birthday, Daffodil! This spunky, affectionate, sassy, and adorable girl is who got me hooked on donkeys six years ago, and was the first donkey I ever trained. She has a giant personality and loves going on adventures, getting into mischief, and wrestling with Polly. She is not shy about asking for (maybe demanding is a better word) what she wants, and is a huge part of Desert Donkey Experiences' success!

My next Introduction to Donkey Ownership class is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th from 8 - 11(ish) a.m. This discussion-based class will cover everything you should know if you are thinking about getting donkeys. It is also great for anyone who already has donkeys, and just wants to make sure they are caring for them properly.

There will also be a hands-on portion where you can learn how to safely handle my well-trained donkeys, including haltering, leading, picking out feet, and assessing body condition, plus more.

This class is open to participants age 10 and older, and costs $50 per person. It will take place outside, on my property in Queen Creek, AZ, in the company of my social, gentle, and sweet donkeys. Snacks and water will be provided.

If you would like to sugn up, or want to find out more, please message me or contact me at 480-372-3290. 😊

***Thank you all so much for your condolences and well wishes. I appreciate them all so much. It is amazing what a hole these little guys leave in our hearts when they pass. 💔***

Life is short. Never take those you love for granted, whether they are animal, or human. We lost our little Boston terrier, Ozzy, suddenly yesterday. He was spunky, happy, and very much loved. Many of you who came for experiences or classes may have met this crazy, adorable boy. He was the sweetest dog ever, and loved his family, especially Tanner, taking long naps in bed, and greeting visitors. Fly high, sweet Ozzy Bozzy. We miss you down here!
