a professional

What do you love most about your job?

I love dogs and being able to help people create a stronger connection with their pet is my favourite part of the job. Puppy training can be particularly rewarding as well!

Do you offer any specialised forms of training?

I can offer everything from house training a puppy to teaching an adult how to complete an agility course in competition. I specialise in commands and being able to instruct owners on how to handle their pup, as well as teaching them how to better understand their dog. One of the more specialist aspects I train on is separation anxiety.

What variety of training options do you provide for clients?

I believe I offer a great range, including home visits, group sessions, and private one-to-one instructor classes. I’m also happy meeting in a suitable public place such as a dog park. Working with you and your dog, we’ll create a routine that works perfectly.

What qualifications have you achieved?

I have earned qualifications from: the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors, Level 3 CPD Accredited Dog Training, Diploma in Dog Training, and more. I’ve also attended dozens of seminars hosted by leading trainers/behaviourists. I’m a full member of the Guild of Dog Trainers and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.

I'm thrilled to give Armand and his team a 5-star review! They truly are the best in the business. Armand's in-home visit to work with my adorable but energetic pug, Daisy, was instrumental in addressing our socialization and behavior challenges. Daisy also attended training classes with Armand's team, where she received top-notch guidance and love. From enrollment to administration, welcome, lessons, and ongoing support, this team excels. Their patience, expertise, and genuine care for Daisy's well-being were impressive. She thrived under their guidance, and I saw significant improvements in her behavior. Armand's team is exceptional, and I highly recommend them to any dog owner seeking top-tier training and compassion. Thank you, Armand and team, for transforming Daisy and me into a confident, well-behaved duo!"

Natalie was an absolute gem while staying in our home for two weeks. She took care of our two fur babies, Jasper and Nina, and treated them like her own! Safe to say, we came back to two very spoiled dogs who now expect walks twice a day. When we returned, they were not even excited to see us—they were sad that Natalie and her partner had left! Natalie is a wonderful pet-sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love your pets.

Working with BonaFido Dog Training was such a great experience from start to finish (this is not the end, we will definitely be adding more sessions!) Natalie is great at what she does, she explains everything thoroughly and is very open and honest. She gives us the space to learn and teach our dog. She also shows great love to Mello and I can see her love for animals and why she does what she does. She takes the time to learn your pet first, see their triggers and then helps you figure out the best way for you and your pet to overcome those triggers and learn the best manners !!! I would highly recommend you train your pup (or dog) with BonaFido Dog training!!
