Often times, an unruly dog creates havoc because they are bored due to excess energy, a lack of structure and focus.

Bare Bones Dog Training provides hands on training for you and your pet, creating a safe place to learn how best to work with your dog.

Mission Statement

To help dogs and handlers build a stronger bond that is unique to them through calm, consistent, compassionate training.
