Welcome to a world where I combine the joy of canine companionship with my expertise as a seasoned dog trainer.

At That’s a Good Dog LLC, I am passionate about fostering harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners. My journey began in the idyllic setting of a small shoreline town, where my childhood days were filled with the delight of playing with dogs from various breeds. Fast forward to today, and my commitment to dog training has evolved into a mission to provide specialized services tailored to your canine companion’s needs.

From our humble beginnings to becoming a beacon of expertise in the dog training community, I, as the founder of That’s a Good Dog LLC, am driven by a deep love for dogs and a commitment to resolving behavioral challenges. As a passionate advocate for shelter pets, I embarked on a journey to understand and address the unique issues faced by these beloved animals. Instead of turning away from dogs with behavioral quirks, I embraced the opportunity to study animal behavior and develop individualized training programs.

Where do I start? Bonnie is amazing, sweet, caring, and honest. You can definitely trust her when it comes to teaching you and your dog the proper way to communicate with each other. Do you guys remember “Kash?” (7 1/2 month old Blue Nose Pitbull). Prior to Bonnie, Kash was so energetic he did not know how to relax. He was like the Energizer Bunny….back n forth…back n forth. With him so hyper, which is a result of lack exercise, he would try to “mount” almost any leg he could he a get a hold of (lol). When my girlfriend (Alexia) and I attempted to take him on walks he would pull and bite the leash making it intolerable to continue our walk. Due to me working 3rd shift and usually tired during the day I decide we (Alexia and myself) needed help. That’s when I reached out to Bonnie. Kash began Bonnie’s 5-day Board & Train program on January 18th and returned on the 24th. Let’s just say he is a completely different dog however he still has his puppy behavior/moments which is more manageable and easy to control. We can’t Thank Bonnie enough! ***Highly recommend Bonnie to those who are searching for a fantastic trainer***

Bonnie is truly the finest in the industry. She is the first one we call upon in any situation pertaining to our dogs. We would recommend Bonnie to train any dog. Whether you need some fine tuning or you need some severe rehabilitation, she can handle it. Bonnie is skilled, professional, knowledgeable, honest, and a master of her craft. She has become an integral part of our lives and our dogs’ lives over the past few years.

I first met Bonnie after adopting a young male lab mix dog, Rugby, from a city shelter. Rugby was high energy, unruly and completing dominating my household. He had little to no training, and was much more than I could handle. After failing to successfully place him in another home, I sought out the help of a trainer. Bonnie took on Rugby as part of her overnight board program. Even she was surprised at how much work he needed, but she put in the time and dedication to teaching Rugby commands and basic obedience. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined, even working one-on-one with me and my sister, training us how to implement the skills required to be effective “pack leaders.” Bonnie is an excellent trainer – patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Above all else, she is passionate about her work, and it shows through her concern for both pet and the owner.
After returning home, the improvement in Rugby’s behavior was incredible. More importantly, I am now a much more confident dog owner. Rugby continues to improve every day, and is well on his way to becoming a wonderful family dog. Thank you Bonnie! I could not have done this without your help. You turned around a situation that I thought was almost hopeless, and I am very grateful!

Bonnie, owner of That’s a Good Dog, was recommended to me by a trusted friend. She trained my baby boy for a week when he was a little less than 1 year old. I am an extremely over protective Mom but once I met Bonnie I was confident she was a truly professional trainer and dog lover. Marti was a “fearful” puppy and needed some behavior corrections. Never in a million years could I imagine I picked up a confident, well behaved Marti. I’ve since boarded Marti at Bonnies and he just loves her and her home! Feel free to call my cell, 203-767-2598, if you have questions as I’m happy to share my experience with this “second to none” experience for you and your pet!! Best luck- and NO WORRIES!!
