“Let me just say that Bona Fido has been a LIFE SAVER for me and my family….Highly recommend……I can’t sing Bona Fido’s praises enough….Lisa has been incredible, and I feel so fortunate to have met her and have her work with our pups…..my stress level is now manageable, and most importantly, the dogs both seem SO much happier and comfortable in our new home.”

“Lisa is a great trainer; she can teach old dogs new tricks! A few years ago I inherited a 9 year dog who started showing leash aggression the night I brought him home. For some time I tried to work through it myself, unsuccessfully. So, I engaged Lisa’s services. She was able identify the problem right away, and we were able to retrain the dog in a short series of sessions. She is smart, personable and easy to work with. And, her fees are totally worth it.”

“I want to give a shout out to Bona Fido! I definitely recommend Lisa for your dog/pup training needs. We have a high-spirited Brittany who needed lots of training to channel her energy! Lisa has worked with us in our home and neighborhood using positive reinforcement via treats, toys, and other professional techniques. We saw immediate results in our pup as Lisa taught us the best commands and reinforcement behaviors to get our pooch behaving her best. Finally, we still call on Lisa for some behavior maintenance as our pup grows and develops new (good and bad) habits. Lisa will work with your schedule to meet your needs, and she’s genuine and kind on top of it. You and your dog will love working with her!”

“I hired Bona Fido to help with my oversized puppy who has social anxiety issues….I now have a perfectly trained and better-behaved canine, along with detailed instructions on how to go forward on our own…. Lisa (trainer) is also really friendly and incredibly patient. She really has a knack for communicating with dogs. Overall, great experience with this company and I do recommend.”

“Lisa was fantastic with our very sweet but very large Great Dane, Diesel.  Diesel responded to her teaching immediately, her teaching style was calm and positive, and it did not take long for us to notice a big difference in Diesel’s behavior.  We are very happy and recommend Lisa highly!”

—Brian K.

“It was such a pleasure working with Bona Fido. As first time puppy owners, (Lisa) was able to guide us through a path of training that worked for us and our little fluff ball.”

—Sam R.

“I cannot say enough great things about Lisa and her work with our 15-month-old rescue ‘puppy’ (125 lbs!). After we had him a week, my boyfriend was convinced he could never be trained and was ready to throw in the towel- that’s when I called Lisa to help. Literally after ONE session, his behavior was already noticeably better…..In all, I think we had seven sessions, and he was a new pup! Lisa did a fantastic job training both my dog and us! I highly recommend her as your trainer!”

—Cindy G.

“From beginning to end, Lisa was professional and very caring. She taught me to use techniques to change my dog’s behavior significantly with little effort….I highly recommend Bona Fido for easy and fruitful training.”

“[Because of our training]….we have a calmer, happier dog whose sweet personality is able to shine.”
