Starting the new year 2025 with a new vision!!!
Recently the Bon-Clyde building on 3030 Lee Avenue was sold. I kept the Business “Bon Clyde Learning Center and Bon Clyde Canine Professional’s.” My new plan is to travel with my show dogs and enjoy training in different locations. I am enjoying semi-retirement. Bon Clyde has been a part of my life for over 35 years. It has hosted Specialty shows, Agility trials and Seminars. Also classes were available for all dog sports. I have met so many wonderful people and dogs over the years. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and supporters of Bon Clyde and of course the amazing students.
My new vision for Bon-Clyde will be reveal in Spring 2025,
Thanks, Bonnie
HISTORY OF BON-CLYDE
The Bon-Clyde Learning Center was officially opened on November 10, 1990 with a grand open-house celebration. This event allowed people to view the training center and enjoy refreshments, demonstrations of our Obedience class dogs, door prizes, and much more.
The Center's name carries the legacy of my favorite dog, Clyde, an eight-year-old Rottweiler who died of cancer in 1989. One wall of the school is devoted to the memory of Clyde.
The original building was built by my father to house his antique button collection. Following my father's death in 1988, I decided the location would be excellent for my dream of a training center for dogs. After much remodeling and button removal, my dream began to take shape. (Yes, I still have a room which houses a large selection of the remaining buttons.)
Over the past 10 years, the demand for more classes and instructors led me to enlarge the facility to its present size and scope. After 10 years, my dream of a first-class dog training facility has become a reality. Through the support of a wonderful staff and great clients, I hope to continue with Bon-Clyde's reputation as "The South's Finest Dog Training Center".
