Canine Kindness (Bonté Canine)

At Canine Kindness, we offer personalized dog training and behavior support with a focus on compassion, communication, and understanding.  With a background rooted in animal rescue and over a decade in the shelter world, our approach is grounded in respect – for both dogs and the people who love them.  Whether we’re helping a family understand their sensitive dog or working through more intense emotional behaviors, I believe in walking alongside you, not ahead of you.

Our work goes beyond obedience.  It’s about creating safety, clarity, and real connection.  We use science-based, non-coercive methods and meet every dog and human where they are.  Our training plans are tailored, and our role is often that of a translator: helping you understand what your dog is communicating, and how you can better support them day to day.

Ultimately, we’re here to support meaningful, sustainable relationships between dogs and humans – rooted in empathy, not control.  Whether through private consults, group classes, or longer-term support, we’re not interested in quick temporary fixes, but in real change that lasts.  And if your dog feels ”too much” or ”too complicated?”  You’re in the right place.
