Blind Faith Family Canine Academy

After adopting a beautiful Basenji into our family, we wanted to make sure that we properly trained her (and ourselves!). Basenjis (as a breed in general) are very smart and sometimes very stubborn. We therefore wanted our girl to grow up with a firm but kind hand, and Blind Faith offered us incredible instruction on how to create these guidelines. With our trainer's careful encouragement, our new pup improved across the board in all areas of our concern (potty training, crate training, walking, and stranger interaction). We are so happy we chose to use this trainer!

The trainer is consistent with teaching good behavior with the dogs and handler, questions/advice has professional, detailed, and thorough answers. Follow up suggestions are given in a timely manner to ensure a teams ongoing support The Trainer ensures a highly qualified breed of dog with matching personality to the incoming handler. This is a must when choosing a partner in one’s independence. I would return for all future guides as she understands the importance of a guide, the specific need of the person and the immediate gratification one receives when becoming one in your new partnership

We are so grateful to have met Bonnie. Our 2 year old rescue dog needed some help with meeting new people coming to visit and just being around a bunch of chaos that comes with having guests over. Bonnie knew exactly how to address this and get our dog to act appropriately in the changing environment. In order to create real world conditions, she even went as far as bringing her husband and kids over so we create all sorts of different situations. The best part is that Bonnies training methods do not require any sort of special collars or training devices. Its simply communicating directly with the dog and giving them as many reps as possible to learn the right way to act. We are still in awe of the progress we made in in a single session. Our dog went from barking and lunging at the new visitors to completely coexisitng offleash and even accepting some pets. If that wasnt enough, we also got some help with our “drop its” during fetch. A few simple changes had an immediate impact that will surely transfer to other situations as well.
