Bone-afide Dog Training LLC offers practical training for everyday life. They teach dogs to sit-stay for meals, greet visitors without jumping, lie down and stay during dinner, and much more. Their focus is on training dogs to become well-behaved family companions using positive methods.
The trainer, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT) with 20 years of experience, serves lower Fairfield County CT, including Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, Wilton, Westport, Redding, and Ridgefield. They specialize in working with dogs of all breeds and ages, using positive methods to teach both the dog and the owner.
In addition to basic training, the trainer also works with dogs facing behavior issues such as fear, separation anxiety, and aggression. Sessions take place in the client’s home and eventually progress to public places for distraction training. For clients with children, the trainer provides special gifts and projects to involve them in the training process.
As an AKC-approved Canine Good Citizen evaluator, the trainer encourages clients to take and pass the STAR Puppy test and the CGC test. They prioritize ongoing education, regularly attending conferences, seminars, and workshops, and keeping up with the latest research to incorporate new ideas and techniques into their training.
The trainer’s greatest satisfaction comes from witnessing the learning process taking place in a dog’s brain and is continually amazed and humbled by the abilities of dogs.
