Dogs By Johnna Certified Professional Dog Trainer CPDT-KA. 30+ years of positive motivational dog training! Hi there, and thanks for stopping by! That stuck with me!

I’m Johnna Biondi, and people often ask me how I came up with the name Dogs By Johnna. It all started with my neighbor, a self-proclaimed “cat person,” who once told me she’d only get a dog if it was trained like mine. From then on, I trained every dog as if it were a reflection of my work—my brand. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up alongside them—literally! When I was born,

my dad brought home a German Shepherd puppy named Topie, who became my constant companion and protector. As the oldest of three sisters, I watched as my dad brought home a puppy for each of us. My poor mom had her hands full—three young children, ages 1, 2, and 3, plus three puppies to match! Dogs were a family tradition. My parents, grandparents, and uncles all had them, and Sundays at our house always included a pack of pups. We never had fewer than three dogs at a time. By the time I reached college, my family had raised a total of 18 dogs from 14 different breeds. As an adult, I added five more to the mix—two Australian Shepherds, a Basset Hound, a Aussie/Lab mix, and a bench-bred Black Labrador—bringing the grand total to 20 dogs who lived their full lives with the Biondi family. For over 30 years, I’ve trained thousands of dogs and their owners. One thing I’ve learned? There are no absolutes in dog training—every dog is unique, just like their humans. I’m a certified professional dog trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA) and maintain my certification by completing 36 continuing education units every three years. I follow the LIMA approach to training, which stands for Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive—a humane and effective strategy. In my private sessions, I have two main goals:
1. Understand what the family wants to achieve with their dog(s).
2. Train the dog(s) first, then teach the owners how to reinforce that training between sessions. I specialize in helping families integrate new dogs into their homes and setting puppies (and their parents!) up for success. My expertise includes classical conditioning, behavior modification, problem-solving, aggression management, and overall household manners. I’d love to help you and your dog build a strong, lasting bond. Let’s get started!

Our Story

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer CPDT-KA with over 20 years of experience. I have trained hundreds of dogs and their owners, and what I have learned is there are no absolutes when it comes to training. That's because every dog is different as are their humans. That's why I have a variety of ways to teach dogs to do just about anything. My goals are two-fold: First, I find out what the family is looking to accomplish with their dog. Second, I train the dog (s) first, then the owners. I show the owners how to do what I just taught their dog (s). This way they are able to follow up and reinforce the training. I am a positive motivational trainer and the less-is-best approach. I specialize in integrating new dogs into the family and starting puppies and their parents off on the right paw! I am well versed in the art of classical conditioning, behavior modification, problem solving, aggression, and overall house manners. I offer private-in-home sessions and group classes. I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!
