Bonding with Buddies trainer Stu Unger, emphasizes a mutual respect between dog and companion to bring out the best in your dog, while striving to eliminate the undesirable traits. Stu creates a spiritual experience of learning and training.
Stu believes in the relationship between a dog and a companion. Training happens at your home and in real-life situations. Each dog and companion team is different.
Stu can work with any dog breed and partner.
While your dog is a part of your family, you are your dog's life. Most dogs will not see a show ring, but everyone is looking for their dog to be a good companion and a good citizen.

Stuart is amazing with dogs! In a short period of time he had my very rambunctious and strong Golden Retriever heeling and not pulling while walking. He had her walking up to his training dog Maura without flinching!!
He also taught me a great trick in how to keep her from jumping on people when they came into the house. I would highly recommend Stuart to train any breed of dog regardless of the issue.

My husband and I have worked with Stu Unger over the past year to train our dog. It has been a rewarding experience for us and for Daisy who has become a much more obedient and better-behaved pet. In addition to Stu’s personal and very hands-on-training approach, he also will board his clients’ dogs should they be out of town. Stu has boarded Daisy twice in the past year and here too we have been happy to have done so. He will take your dog into his home which is clean and well-kept. Stu’s two dogs and Daisy have easy access to a spacious backyard that is entirely fenced so they can play to their hearts’ content. We brought the food we feed our dog and Stu fed her twice daily as we do. There is a certain peace of mind in boarding with Stu because he is familiar Daisy’s personality from our training sessions and likewise Daisy is familiar with him. Furthermore, at a kennel we would have little or no idea of the temperament or health of any other dogs that were also at the facility. We also think the rate Stu charges is reasonable.

Stu is an incredible dog trainer! You and your dog will get the most out of each session due to Stus demonstrative style and technique. He really is master at his craft. All the sessions in the world won’t do much though if you aren’t practicing, training, and reinforcing at home. But Stu will give you the tools to succeed. So glad to have linked up with him for my puppy!
