🎉🐾 Happy 2nd Birthday to our girl Rey! 🐾🎉

Rey has been part of the Bonafide family for a long time now, and we’ve loved watching her grow into the quirky, sweet girl she is today. She may march to the beat of her own drum, but that’s exactly what makes her so special.

With a dedicated human who’s taken her through so many of our classes, Rey has truly become a standout student. She brings her own unique charm to everything she does, and we feel lucky every time she walks through our doors.

Happy Birthday, Rey! We’re so lucky to have you in our pack. 💜🐶🎂

This class is paw-fect for dogs who already have a solid foundation and are ready to take those skills on the road (or to the patio)!

Your pup should already be able to:
✅ Eat treats around other dogs & people 🍗
✅ Settle on a mat 🧘‍♂️
✅ Walk politely on leash 🐕‍🦺
✅ Respond to basic cues like sit & down ✋⬇️
✅ Remain calm around others (no barking, lunging, or growling) 🤫

If your pup gets overwhelmed in group settings, is highly vocal, or reactive, this may not be the best fit, feel free to reach out and we’ll help guide you to the right program!

What we’ll cover:
✨ Loose leash walking through distractions
✨ “Leave it” around food, people, & other dogs
✨ Polite greetings without jumping or chaos 🙋‍♂️
✨ Ordering like a pro while you grab a drink 🍺
✨ Settling calmly at your table like a patio superstar 🌟🪑

This class is all about turning your dog into the chill companion you can confidently take out and about, from cafes and patios to brewery events and beyond!

Have questions or unsure if your dog is a good fit?
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Bonafide Dog Academy — we’d love to help!
