Our puppy became a whole new dog with Bo's help!
Brandon Zweifel
- 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! Shelby Sanda
- I reached out to Bo after my dog had started chasing my cats. He’s been a great help and I will definitely be using him again! I can not recommend him highly enough. Frances Klaverkamp
- I would highly recommend Bo! I started to have no hope with my two chihuahuas until I met Bo. Not only did he help train my dogs but he helped me understand them better. It only took two training sessions for my dogs and now everyone that knew my dogs behavior issues and went around them before now comes around them with no problems and notices saying “Wow, training really did pay off.” Paige Marszalec
- 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

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!

- 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! Jordan Alexis

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!
Tracy Schoonover
- I would highly recommend Bo. He was great with our 2 somewhat unruly rescues. He was even able to work with the one that was fearful of men. Bo taught us several techniques that have helped us tremendously with their behavior. It was definitely money well spent! Duane Sue
- Excellent personalized training. I recommend his 6 week in-home class. No is patient and responsive to our particular situation. Liane Felton
Let's Train Your Dog Quickly so It Knows What to Do
Private Lessons at Economy Pricing
Since you aren’t sharing my time with others in a group class, you have my complete attention and focus. I can spend time with you as you learn how to work with your dog.
2-Session Packages
Keep the time commitment short. In just one or two weeks, you will learn how to teach your dog a series of skills that go a long way in the family setting.
Force-Free, Science-Based Methods
My approach to training goes beyond mere concern about behaviors. It takes into account the wellbeing of the whole dog, including physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Rather than forcing a dog to do something through intimidation, fear, pain, or violence, I teach you how to move a dog from the inside out by leveraging the power of positive desire.
