Testimonials
“Bonnies a great trainer! We can now leave our Mastiff at home alone because of Bonnie’s work with us! She helped me understand what was going on with our dog and how to help him gain confidence.”
-Vivian Nilsen & Rocky
“I can’t thank Bonnie enough for her help and compassion for dogs. Loki was giving us a really hard time house training and getting him to follow commands. Bonnie gave us lot of tips and support while working with him.”
-Karissa Potenza & Loki
“We reached out to Bonnie because our dog was barking during the day and since we worked at home it was a problem. She helped us figure out the causes and the barking got much better!”
-Theresa Gill & Rosie (And Bill)
