Holistic Pet Care Services is a home-based dog training and boarding business in St. Augustine, Florida, run by Danny Bungard and his family. Training is relationship-based and reward-based, without treat bribes, fear, or pain.

Danny works with puppies through seniors. That covers everyday problems like leash pulling and poor focus, plus serious anxiety, reactivity, and aggression cases.

Programs include private lessons, immersive board and train, puppy training, service dog training, and virtual coaching. Service dog work goes up to advanced tasks like deep pressure therapy and medical alert.

Board and train dogs live in a real family home instead of a kennel facility. Every client starts with a free consultation, in person around Northeast Florida or by video from anywhere.

Accomplishments

Their Training Philosophy

We believe great training builds trust, confidence, and reliable communication between dogs and their families. Our reward-based approach develops service-dog-level obedience without depending on treat bribes, fear, or pain. We tailor our methods and tools to each dog’s individual needs while establishing clear boundaries and lasting everyday reliability.

A Tough Case They Solved

One of my most rewarding cases was Koda, a rescue dog with severe fear and reactivity. He was terrified of unfamiliar people, dogs, and environments, and had even snapped at veterinary staff. Through patient, individualized training, we helped him develop confidence, emotional regulation, and reliable obedience. His owner later reported that he could happily meet new people and dogs, explore unfamiliar places, and behave reliably off leash. Koda made such remarkable progress that he began training toward becoming his owner’s service dog.

What New Clients Can Expect

We begin by getting to know your dog, understanding your goals, and evaluating where you are today. From there, we develop a personalized plan designed to exceed those goals. We offer private lessons, immersive board and train programs, puppy training, service dog training, and virtual coaching, with practical guidance to help families maintain results.

More From the Trainer

We offer personalized training in a real family home environment rather than a traditional training facility. Our experience ranges from puppy foundations to advanced service dog tasks, including deep pressure therapy and medical alert. We also provide holistic boarding and nutritional coaching for families seeking comprehensive care for their pets.
