Highly recommend this company especially Brandon if you have a dog that would rather walk you instead of you walking them, or refuses to listen when called back. My dog was a handful to say the least until I decided to give them a chance, Brandon was absolutely great with getting my Roxy where I needed her to be. She was a rescue and very much untrained especially for an 8 year old German Shepard after his help I can now get her to come on command and am not being taken on walks (runs) by her, before you just give up, giving them a chance is worth everthing. Very much well worth it.

🙏🏻🐶🐾🦴🥰 I feel very grateful to have found Brandon and Good Bones K9 Training. I’d consider myself quite a fantastic dog mom yet no matter how many YouTube videos I watched, articles I read, what felt like endless hours of wasted time working with my sweet pup, I still couldn’t figure out how to keep her from pulling me down the sidewalk/street until she tortured me enough to be too tired walk ME anymore. I decided to take the chance, make the investment and trust that Brandon’s team knew what they were doing and I’m glad I did. I don’t dread taking my little best friend on walks anymore — I actually look forward to it. When she came home after her week away (I like to think of it as a type of summer camp for doggos), she seemed so much calmer. She was still herself, of course, but that unruly excitement that made me feel a little crazy at times, the running under my feet every time I moved throughout the house and nearly taking me out (I’m clumsy enough as it is), and her relentless pulling and tugging and taking over the walks weren’t there anymore. I didn’t realize that all of that was likely anxiety since she didn’t know what she didn’t know and neither did I — but now she does! She feels trust in me as her human now. Brandon walked me through how to continue to work with her to keep her from settling into old habits (don’t we all if we don’t keep up with things and habits 🫣). She walks BESIDE me now! She still follows me around the house but she’s by my side instead of under my feet. She gets silly and excited still, but she seems as though she has “manners” now instead of thinking she runs the entire household 😉🙃 I’m just so grateful for Good Bones and that Brandon really cared about how these things affected my everyday life and stress — not to mention how much he actually cared about making sure my pup was given the best treatment. She was like a member of the family even when she wasn’t with her own family. You don’t always realize how stressed out you are until that stress isn’t taking up precious space anymore. I’d make this investment 100x over and I just wish I had made the decision sooner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amber was awesome! My puppy Dutchess learned a lot in these 4 classes & we couldn’t have done it without her! Very thorough, patient and helpful!

Our experience with Amber was excellent. She explained everything well, taught Rosie and US a lot. Working with a rescue dog that had many new experiences was handled well. We are confident that with continued training and reinforcement, Rosie will continue to improve and result in a very mild mannered dog and enjoyable experiences for her and us. Amber is highly recommended as a trainer for any needs a dog may have. Barry and Claudia McGinness

We had a pup that was about 2-3mo old when we contacted Good Bones. We have nothing but great things to say about them! Of course with a young dog, they take a few sessions to learn, but it felt like one day everything just clicked with our pup, and tbh that was with us doing minimum work outside of our weekly session. Our sessions were at our home mostly, but we did some final ones at public places like Lowes, which were great!
