About Barks & Bonds
At Barks & Bonds Dog Training, we focus on creating a training experience that’s rewarding for both you and your dog. Our approach is grounded in modern, science-based methods that help build trust, confidence, and clear communication.
Every dog is unique, which is why we customize each session to fit their personality, environment, and goals. Whether we’re working on basic manners, behavior challenges, or real-life skills, We meet your dog where they’re at and move at a pace that works for both of you.
All of our training is force-free and built on positive reinforcement. We’re here to help you and your dog grow together through thoughtful, kind, and effective training.
Our goal is simple: to help you love what you do with your dog while overcoming challenges along the way. Through trust, communication, and consistency, we empower owners and their dogs to grow together, strengthening their bond one step at a time.
Join us on this journey to a happier, more connected life with your dog!
What people are saying
“We started working with Ollie when we first got our puppy, Tortilla, and it’s honestly been such a great experience. Ollie didn’t just help us with training — they taught us how to really understand Tortilla and build her confidence when she was scared of, well, pretty much everything. The advice and support have made such a huge difference. We’ll definitely be going back to Ollie for any future pups or training needs!”
Erica P.
“Ollie completely changed the way I understood Stella’s behavior. Instead of just ‘fixing problems,’ They taught me how to communicate with my pup in a way that actually makes sense to Stella. The difference in her confidence and calmness has been amazing. I finally feel like we’re a team, not just living together. I can’t recommend Barks & Bonds enough!”
Micheal M.
“We were struggling with leash pulling and nonstop barking, and honestly, I was starting to feel overwhelmed. Ollie was patient, encouraging, and gave us simple tools that worked right away. Our walks are so much more enjoyable now, and Levi is more relaxed at home, too. Training with Barks & Bonds has been the best investment for our family.”
