Bo was phenomenal when we first brought our puppy home! He helped us build a great foundation with her and really gave us the tools to grow with her! HIGHLY recommend him!

Bo is amazing! He is full of information. He was able to work with our puppy who is leash reactive, and get her to happily meet another dog is less than 40 minutes! So awesome! I am so thankful I found him to help us, especially since other trainers told us they couldn't.

July 5, 2017 - Bo helped my two scared Chihuahuas calm down and relax. They are happier and their anxiety is greatly reduced! I learned to read their body signals better, too. I'm so grateful to Bo for giving my dogs a better life.

August 18, 2017 - Excellent personalized training. I recommend his 6 week in-home class. No is patient and responsive to our particular situation.

August 27, 2019 - Arnold is a 9 month old yellow lab mixed with husky. His energy is endless! 4 months ago I was getting complaints about my pup barking. 2 months ago I received behavior notes from Arnold’s day care. Since we started training with Bo we haven’t received any noise complaints and Arnold is able to go to two days at day care now. I’ve learned a lot from Bo. Arnold and I have a better bond now than we have before. I still have a lot of work to do but I have all of the tools I need thanks to Bo!

March 16, 2018 - We had our fist class with Bo a few days after we brought Gytha home at 10 weeks. At 5 months, we're doing Bo's group class, and we're doing really well! Bo is an amazing trainer — sure, he's great with the dogs (he's their best friend, I'm not even chopped liver), but he's also great with people.
If you're on the fence, just do it. As long as you put in the work, you and your dog will flourish with Bo's guidance.

November 28, 2017 - We just had our first training session with Bo. HE IS AMAZING! Teddy's first test came shortly after Bo left, when a visitor came to the door. One quick bark, no growling! WOW!

July 18, 2017 - We recently adopted two 2 year old beagles that have some behavior issues. We contacted Bo for help and he gave us a lot of techniques and tips for kind and force free training to address these issues. We are already seeing progress in them and would recommend Bo if you need help with your dog.
Lori Johnson
July 26, 2019 - Bo was amazing with my shepherd and her reactive personality. He gave effective tips and tricks to help her stay calm in uncomfortable situations, along with written instructions we could refer back to! I would definitely recommend him to others who are having problems training their dog!

August 3, 2019 - Bo is a great trainer. He has been working with Ryder and I have seen a improvement beyond belief. Ryder is 6 months old now and is doing great on his training with Bo. Bo is very good at explaining things to us and makes it very easy to understand. If you need help with your Puppy I highly recommend Bo to help you. He not only trains your Pup he also trains you to be a better dog owner. It is nice to have a well behaved dog. Thank you Bo for helping us with Ryder!

Imagine Your Dog Transforming Before Your Very Eyes
Stop Your Dog Pulling on Leash Without Resorting to Those Painful or Scary Collars that Can Damage Your Dog
Achieve Resonance and Responsiveness
through Science and Love
You never have to use intimidation, fear, pain, or violence to motivate your dog ever again.
The newest wave of science-based dog training is force free and pain free.
You, too, can learn how to train a dog and address problem behaviors by leveraging the most recent advances in canine learning theory and motivating your dog from the inside-out.
- Deepen your connection and understanding with your dog
- Watch your dog enjoy learning and responding to you
- Take your "best friends" relationship to a whole new level
It’s not “just a dog”. It’s your beloved family member. And your canine companion deserves the deepest love and best care you can offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
My service area is up to a 20-minute drive. Beyond that, we can still work together, but I charge an additional fee up to a 45-minute drive. I hesitate to go beyond that (but we may be able to negotiate something if it’s critical). Remember, I can work with you anywhere in the world over Google Meet.
Typically, other trainers offer private lessons that run between 45 minutes and an hour. My standard private sessions for my Dog Training Anywhere Program (over Google Meet) run at least an hour. The exception here is my Introduction to Puppies class, which runs at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. (If you sign up for classes in your home I will need to be more mindful of the time and stick closer to the hour or hour and a half time limit since I need to schedule for travel time.) The bottom line is that you can expect extra face-to-face time with me compared to most dog trainers.
I can’t answer that until I know more about your training needs.
This is why I offer a free 30-minute phone conversation (as opposed to the norm which is charging for an assessment). During that call I will give you options and tell you what I think is best. It doesn’t cost you anything and it’s risk-free since you are under no obligation to hire me for services. You can click here to set that up.
That being said, what I can do is give you a ballpark figure. My Dog Training Anywhere Program (which is my economy program over Google Meet) costs about $55 for a single session, and in-home sessions cost about $80 for a single session, and . Compare that to the typical in-home private dog training rate with other trainers that averages $100–$125 per session. Furthermore, if you commit up front to buy a package, you will reduce the per-session cost.
Overall, you will find my rates are far below the standard for private dog training.
Contact me and we’ll work something out based on what you can afford.
Solving Your Dog-Training Problems Begins with a Free 30-Minute Phone Call
Don't Put It Off Any Longer
Let’s talk about how I can help you. It’s on my dime and you are not obligated to sign up, so there’s no risk for you.
Just contact me through the form, tell me about your dog and the issues you face. Then, we’ll schedule the call. On that call, I’ll ask questions so I can determine how I can help you best.
If you are looking for a dog trainer near you, my business is based in Beloit, WI. My in-home service area includes Janesville, WI, Elkhorn, WI; South Beloit, IL; Rockton, IL, Roscoe, IL, Rockford, IL, Crystal Lake, IL, and the nearby areas. If you are farther than that, I can still work personally with you online through my Dog Training Anywhere (online dog training) program.
