Frank Bonomo is the President and Founder of Best Friend's Dog Training.

Frank Bonomo has been one of New York's premier dog trainers for more than a decade. President and founder of Best Friend's Dog Training, as well as owner of the New York Academy for Dog Trainers, he has not only trained thousands of dogs, but has also gained a reputation as "trainer to the trainers."

Frank founded Best Friend's Dog Training in 1999 after completing his initial apprenticeship in obedience and protection training. He quickly made a name for himself in the dog training field, both for his ability to take on "problem dogs" that everyone else had given up on, and for his unique lifetime training program that provided one price "lifetime training" for all clients. His motto "As long as you keep coming, I'll keep teaching" earned him numerous regular clients who stuck around for months and even years. His weekly group classes quickly became so popular, he had to expand both the frequency and geographic reach. Before long, he was offering weekly classes at locations throughout Long Island and Queens.

As his business continued to grow, he expanded his offerings even further, providing training for residents of Manhattan, Westchester, Saratoga Springs, New Jersey and Connecticut - and has even had clients fly him out to France to do private training work. He has trained service dogs, rescue dogs, and numerous dogs that were deemed "hopeless," and is an active supporter of the Therapy Dog program.

Frank built his business on the idea that trainers need to continually evolve, and as such, he has studied virtually every major training methodology. Unlike many trainers, who take a "one-size-fits-all" approach to dog training, he believes that there is no one "right" way to train, but rather, the training method must fit the individual dog and the dog's needs, as well as the handler's capabilities.

Frank holds certifications for narcotics and scent-detection training, has titled dogs in protection sports and does ongoing continuing education throughout the U.S. He has authored a regular column for LongIsland.com and hosts and assists with seminars for family pet owners, dog trainers and Police-Only training.

Frank is often requested by clients and finds himself in Manhattan and Long Island serving his clients. He lives in Long Island with his wife and family of dogs – Hemi, Trinity, Boomer and the newest addition – Baci!
