Giving A Dog A Bone LLC is a dog training business serving Martin County, St. Lucie County, and Indian River County in Florida. They specialize in positive reinforcement-based dog training for puppies and adult dogs, helping owners teach basic obedience commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners, as well as address behavior issues such as aggression, reactivity, barking, jumping, and separation anxiety. Their trainers focus on building a strong bond between dog and owner by ensuring the pet listens to the owner, not just the trainer. They offer customized training programs tailored to each dog’s needs and never use punishment or pain. Two of their trainers, Joe Butler and Victoria Butler, are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR through PetTech and Harmony Animal Hospital, respectively. They also provide related pet services including dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding across multiple local communities.

They emphasize professional qualifications, compassion, and experience, highlighting that training requires more than just love for dogs—it demands knowledge, patience, and emergency preparedness. Their goal is to make training fun and effective for both dogs and owners, with services available in-person at homes and facilities in towns like Palm City, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Vero Beach, and Hobe Sound.

They do not offer virtual training, group classes, or board-and-train programs, focusing instead on private, in-home, and facility-based sessions.

They also maintain a gallery of trained dogs and a blog, and are active on social media under the handle @givingadogabon1.
