The idea of Bruno’s Backyard started out many years ago as an indoor dog park, providing a climate-controlled area that dogs would play at any time of year. While attending school online for a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, I was always being asked for a business card to train dogs when walking Bruno in the 1-2 mile radius of our home. Bruno’s calm and balanced energy usually offset
s other dogs that normally did not get along with others. I learned early to let Bruno experience the situation and show me what I needed to do for the other dog. After completing my engineering degree, I officially started training as Bruno’s Backyard where I provide dog training for dog owners and dogs. In teaching the dog its boundaries, I look to find the balances between the dog's energy to promote calm, learning experiences. When teaching the dog its boundaries, I provide the tools to the owner to have better communication with the dog to maintain a healthy and productive pack. In the short time Bruno’s Backyard has been operating, we have expanded to provide homemade dehydrated treats with the ability to accommodate diet specific needs upon request. Future hopes for Bruno’s Backyard is to have an indoor dog park with an onsite open kennel rescue area. The indoor park would have an exercise area for people and dogs. I hope to also open a senior dog sanctuary - no senior dog should live their remaining days at a shelter because they are old. Currently, my hours for training are on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), 9:00am to 11:30am (year round) and 3:00pm to 7:00pm (not in summer, though). I can accommodate weekday sessions in emergency situations only. Bruno’s Backyard list of treats include: Chicken Tenders, Turkey Tenders, Sweet Potato Chews, Duck Cookies, and Turkey Cookie.
