Barking Bonds Dog Training and Boarding

Olivia was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and really helped us. LunaLee no longer pulls on walks. She no longer barks as dogs and people walk past the house or when we are on a walk. Olivia helped me to understand what I needed to do to make LunaLee successful. It has worked!! She is patient, kind, and really does help the human and pup connect. Great tips and homework to help along the way. Thank you Olivia!!!

I am the owner of a very protective, loyal, and incredibly smart ACD. Olivia is one of our dog's favorite people and that is saying alot, because the only other two people are myself and my partner! She is incredible with Mu, our Blue healer. Mu trusts her and that is the best endorsement anyone could ask for. Olivia is calm, patient, firm and knows how to engage with animals. I trust her and endorse her as a trainer and for boarding.

Olivia is fantastic! She responded to my text immediately and was able to accommodate boarding our 2 crazy dogs for a last minute long weekend out of town. (other dogsitter cancelled the day before we were leaving) Our pups aren't the easiest, as we were attacked ~6 months prior resulting in one of them being fear reactive to any other dogs, and the other one being anxious/easily overstimulated. She was able to safely keep them separate from her other doggy clients but still have plenty of attention & time in the yard. The space is really a great set up, with several individual little "houses" for dogs to stay in (like the size of a garden shed, climate controlled & set up to be like a home environment) and a nice big yard that looked like a doggy paradise. She regularly sent me updates with photos & videos, and it was clear she knew what she was doing regarding dog behavior & training and handled our pups very well. (She's on Summit Dog Training's short list of recommendations too, so you know she has the right approach.) She was also able to be flexible and keep them 1 extra night when we got stuck in traffic on the way home and didn't get back until late at night, so I could pick them up the next morning instead. This was really a great place, Olivia was a life saver for us in a last minute bind and was wonderful with the dogs, and I'd gladly bring them here again. Thank you Olivia!
