About Blind Faith Family Canine Academy

Family-oriented, home-based training

Blind Faith Family Canine Academy, based in Pickerington, emphasizes family-friendly training done in a home environment rather than a kennel, with the line "Your dog doesn't live in a kennel, so why get them trained in one?" The site states 15+ years of professional training experience and offers lifetime support for peace of mind. It serves clients across Columbus and Central Ohio, including Bexley, Gahanna, Grandview, New Albany, Pataskala, and Upper Arlington.

Training formats

Three formats are offered. Private Lessons teach owners the first steps of training one-on-one with a professional, aimed at people who want to understand the methods and techniques themselves. Board and Train, described as the most popular option, has the dog board in a home during training for faster results, suited to busy owners who prefer the hardest parts of training handled for them. Day Training is similar to board-and-train but without overnight stays, with the dog working one-on-one with a trainer during the day, positioned as a refresher or a way to add a new skill. The site includes puppy training and success stories, and contact is by phone or email. Specific pricing is not published on the homepage.

What they can help with

Your dog stays with the trainer for an immersive, multi-week program.
Early socialization, house-training and first manners for young dogs.

Bonnie is an incredible trainer. I first met her years ago, when she trained my guide dog, Chloe. Bonnie not only helped us learn how to work together as a team, but took the extra time to personalize our training. In our case, it was learning how to run together. This was a huge feat that guide dogs are typically not trainer for. She worked with us to make it a very safe and fun experience, ultimately making me so much more independent.

I would recommend Bonnie as a trainer to anyone considering a service dog. She will not only train you with a service dog, but also instills safety, confidence, and independence that are truly priceless.

Bonnie is an amazing person and dog trainer! I first met Bonnie 16 years ago while training to receive my first guide dog Bobby. Her ability to train dogs according to the needs of their human family and the dog’s temperament is beyond reproach.
Bonnie is hard working, compassionate, and a true gem! Your dog will be exposed to the most current training as Bonnie is constantly continuing to search new methods of training dogs!
I would highly recommend Blind Faith Family Canine Academy for all your training and boarding needs!

My name is Jay and I am completely blind. I had Bonnie as a trainer the first time in 2013 and I highly recommended her. I still have my 10-year-old, Duke, who works with me daily. Dobermans are said to be stubborn, but no problem for Bonnie. She is very patient and understanding with both owners and dogs, as people need training too in dog handling. She explains things simply so anyone can understand and has a professional and helpful personality. She is dedicated to her work with years of experience. Bonnie has been available as I needed her and she is truly great at everything related to training.

We are so grateful to have met Bonnie. Our 2 year old rescue dog needed some help with meeting new people coming to visit and just being around a bunch of chaos that comes with having guests over.

Bonnie knew exactly how to address this and get our dog to act appropriately in the changing environment. In order to create real world conditions, she even went as far as bringing her husband and kids over so we create all sorts of different situations. The best part is that Bonnies training methods do not require any sort of special collars or training devices. Its simply communicating directly with the dog and giving them as many reps as possible to learn the right way to act. We are still in awe of the progress we made in in a single session. Our dog went from barking and lunging at the new visitors to completely coexisitng offleash and even accepting some pets.

If that wasnt enough, we also got some help with our “drop its” during fetch. A few simple changes had an immediate impact that will surely transfer to other situations as well.

The trainer is consistent with teaching good behavior with the dogs and handler, questions/advice has professional, detailed, and thorough answers. Follow up suggestions are given in a timely manner to ensure a teams ongoing support The Trainer ensures a highly qualified breed of dog with matching personality to the incoming handler. This is a must when choosing a partner in one’s independence. I would return for all future guides as she understands the importance of a guide, the specific need of the person and the immediate gratification one receives when becoming one in your new partnership
