I wanted to wait to write this because our biggest test was how our dog reacted to going back to the groomers. Before we went to training, I would get urgent calls to come pick him up from his grooming appointment due to poor behavior and constant barking. It was embarrassing and frustrating. The last time I was there, I scurried away, overtipping out of shame, and promising that he was going to training. We sent him to the board and train program for two weeks. Each day we got adorable videos and updates of our dog. As hard as it was for us to be away from him that long, we felt the emotional and financial investment was worth it. When he returned, he wasn’t a completely different dog (which I was concerned about). I was afraid we would lose the cuddles and personality that made him, him. After reuniting, he was calmer. We could see a difference, but we still had to do our part once he was back home. We had to continue to enforce the same training, commands, and expectations. Amber, our trainer with Good Bones, had given him such a great foundation of basics. After he was home, we got regular text check-ins from a Good Bones to see how he was doing. We had questions, and they were always promptly answered. The guidance we received as owners was really helpful, and weeks later, he continues to improve on his manners and obedience to commands. The real test came yesterday when he returned to the groomers. I sheepishly handed him off, and crossed my fingers for the best. About an hour into the appointment the groomers were calling me. I was afraid it was happening again. When I answered, the groomer was simply calling to let me know how amazing he was doing, and how calm he was. I couldn’t be more elated. Our dog was 5 months old when he went to training. He was still a puppy, and easily distracted. Good Bones was very knowledgeable about the Bernadoodle breed. We are so happy with our decision to have them work with our dog!

I used Good Bones K9 Training to train my 13 weeks old puppy Ralph! The training was a 4 weeks boarding, and that was the best decision that I could have made! With my busy schedule, I need someone help set foundation for a good pup! Brooke from Good Bones K9 did that with my puppy Ralph! The training consist of both in home training and out of home training. Once Ralph came home, I was even trained! Ralph has been a calm behave dog at home and even in public on our busy walks downtown! I couldn't thank Good Bones K9 and Brooke enough! The best part is that they are available after the training for any help or further training! They also send you videos and files to used when you are on your own with your pup!!

Brandon and Megan were amazing and very understanding. My dog got injured before her training was scheduled and they saved my spot for me. When I was able to send Mabel, they were incredible with her. Brooke, the trainer was so kind and patient and Mabel is doing so well. I definitely recommend Good Bones!

We highly recommend Good Bones training! Brandon was very communicative and helped us figure out training would be best for our dog. Our trainer Hailee was so patience with our dog and helped us learn the best strategies to help him feel successful on the leash!

I happened across Good Bones in a general google search. Our young bloodhound had some training but very selective about when he did or didn’t follow through. He’s 120lbs and I couldn’t walk him by myself. Being a puppy he was anxious and excitable, jumping on people, counter surfing, and chewing everything! Brandon was super responsive from day 1, and Brooke our trainer was incredibly effective. Dad was skeptical haha but Brandon ensured 100% satisfaction so we scheduled the 2 week immersion training where Brooke drove to us an hour to pick him up and drop him off at our home! We were so impressed each day when we received updates! He’s a manageable pup now! I’m able to take him on walks confidently now, he hasn’t counter surfed at all, he listens when I tell him to drop something or leave something alone! Shawn (dad) was shocked haha After his training both Brandon and Brooke have checked in and offered more advice and encouragement! Highly recommend, worth the investment hands down. I’d send him again haha
