Faithful Companion Dog Training, LLC

Training with Bonnie has been a terrific experience. Her training approach is totally positive and she gets good results with my frequently hammer-headed and uber active young German Shepard Male. I have had many dogs over my lifetime but Bonnie has still been able to give me pointers on positive reinforcement for training strong willed dogs, which has made the process much easier. There is always something new to learn. I highly recommend her services.

Bonnie is a lovely person and clearly loves dogs. If you want someone to train your dog for you - she’d be stronger at that than helping others to train. Main complaint is that she is too busy and scattered. She always mentioned how tired she was- which I believe. Hard to reach by phone and doesn’t check emails daily. Minor complaint is that she is hardcore against any sort of invisible fencing, and she kept harping on that even though it’s already installed and had no bearing on the basic sort of training needed.

Training with Bonnie has been a fantastic experience. She is so kind and gentle with our deaf pup, Ellie. She gave us MANY useful resources and tips and tricks to help us communicate with our sweet girl. She also helped us tailor our training with her because of her hearing impairment. When we had questions, she always helped us with answers and resources to reinforce what we were learning. We are forever grateful.

I worked with Bonnie for a year. During this time, my dog learnt basic commands (sit, lay down, come, stay). Bonnie helped us to prepare for the Canine Good Citizen test and we successfully passed it. I’m so grateful that Bonnie helped me to create a strong bond with my dog. Stella became a true faithful friend to me. Bonnie is a great professional, she knows a lot about dog psychology and behavior. It was a great pleasure to work with Bonnie. She was always polite, kind and friendly to me and my dog. I’ll always be grateful for Bonnie’s impact on my life as a dog owner.

Hi Bonnie, it’s been 5 years but I want you to know that Ruger is an amazing dog and all the groundwork you laid and teaching me have given me a great companion!!! We walk the nursery behind me every day, leash free, for an hour with another shepherd!! And sometimes 2 other dogs, as well. I should note he is intact with no issues. He stays close, comes when called, etc. You laid the groundwork for him and showed me enough to teach him some other things. He is my 5th dog as an adult and by far the best trained!!! I get compliments all the time about how well behaved he is! I should have thanked you years ago, so thank you for training Ruger! He’s 116 pounds and as gentle as can be with kids!
