Jacque Bonéy, a Memphis, TN native, attributes his dog training foundation to shadowing his father who trained in the Mid-South for more than 40 years. He has accumulated over 25 years of all-breed dog training experience, combining older tried-and-true methods with modern approaches that can be easily understood and replicated.
After graduation in 2007 from The University of Tennessee, Chattanooga with a degree in Entrepreneurship, he founded his company, Barking Pals Consulting, Inc. DBA Allegiance Canine. Allegiance Canine has a 17-year track record of applying simplistic, modern, balanced, and effective approaches to dog training for clients from all walks of life and with varied goals. Services offered by Allegiance Canine include basic and advanced obedience training, working dog training including sport, personal protection, and guard dog components, enrichment boarding, and a fitness-inspired dog daycare. In 2021, Jacque became one of the first individuals to successfully certify as a decoy for K9 Street League, the nation’s first professional working dog sport.
Jacque currently partners with the Shelby County Division of Corrections & the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County on the Pawsitive Training Program, an initiative that pairs shelter dogs with inmates during a 6 week intensive training program. This program aims to increase the likelihood of dogs being adopted due to having a basic obedience foundation, while also teaching a new skill to participants that combines accountability, responsibility, & time management factors.
Although he will always remain a student of his craft/profession, Jacque helps to facilitate seminars nationally geared towards teaching individuals who wish to improve or enhance their training skillset.
Jacque previously served as a board member and the service dog trainer for The Paul Oliver Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission of providing service dogs for veterans with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Barking Pals Consulting, Inc. dba Allegiance Canine has helped 5000+ basic obedience clients with an 88% basic obedience program completion rate; 1200+ advanced obedience clients, with a 79% completion rate; and 700+ working dog clients, be it for competitive sports or personal protection.
