Testimonial
"Bonnie is the most professional and encouraging trainer I’ve ever met. Not once did I feel belittled or shamed; I was treated only with kindness and respect. She is expert at reading a dog’s behaviour thereby giving ideas how best to positively impact and encourage me as well as my dog. Theo is slowly overcoming his anxiety and more happy to be in the big world, I’m so happy for him! Thank you Bonnie for helping me understand Theo better and for giving me confidence that I can continue to help him."

"Thank you Bonnie for the amazing sessions working with our boy Dacoda (pup on the right)!
The progress he has made is remarkable! We are in our new home where a few dogs live right next door and sadly bark anytime we enter the yard (eventually they do stop). We were thrilled to see our pups being non-reactive! They look in the direction of the barking but with cues and encouragement from us, they quickly move on and ignore the chatter from next door.
Our pups love watching the world from our huge front window and again with cues and encouragement from us they stay non-reactive and get to enjoy the view! The “window art” they leave with their noses is just part of our lives with these two beautiful souls!😉"
