Whether you're a proud parent of a new puppy/dog or a somewhat frustrated parent of a not so well behaved dog, I hope you will get started on the path to building a more positive relationship through training. Most dogs don't come into this world understanding how to function in human society as we would like them to, they need our guidance so they (and we) can have full lives that include as much freedom, fun and companionship as possible.
Provided more freedom in general because you took the time to explain the rules in a way they understood.

If you think YOU are confused - just imagine how confusing things will get for your dog as you try to muddle through it all. Dogs are a completely different species. Clear communication is paramount for understanding. One of the best ways to move forward in a way that is both time and budget efficient is to hire an expert.

Cynthia was fantastic with our dog Sasha. We got Sasha from a shelter and she was a couple years old. Very sweet dog but with highly reactive, difficult behaviors. It turned out we were way over our heads. Sasha was barking all the time around our house, even when we put her in a kennel. On walks, she pulled constantly and when she saw another dog she became crazed, barking and pulling to the point where we couldn't control her.
Our 6-year old son loved Sasha but we felt we were going to have to find her a new home. Fortunately we decided to try Bingo Dog Training's boarding school with Cynthia. Over the course of ten days, Cynthia taught Sasha how to be quiet on command, ignore other dogs on walks, and do many other basic commands (including playing fetch). Her program was very customized to our needs and very effective.
We now have a dog that's relaxed and quiet around the house, listens to us when we tell her to be quiet, and able to go on walks without a hassle or outburst. All of this has made a huge difference and given Sasha a solid foundation. We are relieved and grateful for Cynthia's help and expertise.

Before we even brought our puppy Lucille home, we were inquiring with local trainers about someone who did boarding school. We weren't new dogs owners, but we had never been puppy parents and we were so overwhelmed. We wanted to be sure that we got Lucille started on the right foot with the best training and socialization, and Cynthia was highly recommended.
Upon picking Lucille up from two weeks at boarding school, Cynthia spent a great deal of time giving us an overview of everything that was worked on, and she taught my husband and I how to continue with the training. We were in awe of how much was accomplished and how easy it was to continue working with Lucille once we got home. A few months later, we took a vacation and Lucille stayed for another 3 weeks.
The peace of mind we had while we were gone was priceles! Lucille was happy, safe, learning a lot, very well cared for, and having the time of her life! I really can't say enough about how wonderful Cynthia is. She is kind, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and Lucille absolutely loves her! I highly, highly recommend Cynthia's boarding school!

I have had great experiences working with Cynthia at Bingo Dog Training. Her level 1 class was fun and moved at a good pace, and I was able to learn and try many different techniques with my dog. I also liked how she got to know each dog's personality and tried to work with that as well. My dog was overexcited around other dogs and had a hard time focusing, and she helped me find a way to make the class work for him.
I also hired Cynthia for one-on-one training, to help us with some serious behaviors around the house (biting, aggressive herding etc.) when we first adopted our dog. Her advice and guidance were invaluable, and by doing what she taught us, we were able to resolve the situation. My dog has also boarded with Cynthia a few times and she has taken excellent care of him.
He loves visiting her property. Her yard is all set up for dogs and she also takes them on fun adventures. We call it doggy summer camp. I have recommended Bingo Dog Training to many friends, and will continue to do so!

Cynthia at Bingo Dog Training is wonderful. She has taught me so much about working with my dogs. My puppy has attended boarding school and learned so much in a week! Thanks to Cynthia's training and support, he is moving quickly through obedience training and is ready for the Canine Good Citizen Test! He's on his way to becoming a terrific therapy dog.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my experiences having my dogs train with Cynthia. I have had three dogs train with her, and it has made every difference in my relationships with my dogs, and the happiness of my dogs. If you are looking to have your dog understand and obey the basic and necessary commands, or to understand more complicated and personalized commands, I highly recommend Bingo! Each of my dogs is so different from the other, and Cynthia was easily able to find a way to best work with each pup. I'm so grateful for her knowledge and expertise.

I do not recommend Bingo Dog Training and Boarding. I believe my dogs were mistreated while boarding there. Cynthia, the business owner, harassed me by email and phone when I gave her a poor review on Yelp. She then posted a long reply to my review, vindictively revealing my personal information. I deleted my review and posted an abbreviated version, and she did it again. I would be cautious in approaching this business for anything.

I took Teddy for boarding and training and can't say enough great things about Cynthia! She communicated often about his progress and all the fun things he was able to do. When I picked up Teddy he was a new man! What I really appreciated was that Cynthia took the time to train me so I could keep up the work with Teddy at home. We are so grateful for her help. I would highly recommend Bingo Dog Training.
