“My smooth collie River and I had been training in obedience and Rally for several years but we continued to struggle in the obedience [Collie]  ring with River’s lack of focus in a highly distracting environment. I had previously trained with Bonita and when she started teaching again, I was eager to see what she could do with us. With Bonita’s positive and consistent methods and her persistent work with distractions, I soon began to see progress. After just two eight-week sessions, River completed his DX with and average score 10 points higher than his average score in Novice. He is now training in Utility and is quickly learning the exercises and is really enjoying the work in Bonita’s class. He knows which day is class day, and he is waiting by the door, ready to go! I look forward to seeing his focus improve and his scores go higher. Obedience training is a great foundation for your relationship with your dog. Whether you intend to compete, aspire to compete in other venues (we also do herding, agility and conformation) or just want a reliable pet the will focus on you in all kinds of situations, I heartily recommend taking Bonita’s classes. You will definitely see a difference in your dog’s performance and your relationship!” Sue DiBianca
