Dog Training occurs with every interaction between
you and your dog,
every day.

Training should not be thought of as a chore, but
rather a fun and exciting way of interacting with
your new "Best Friend" while reaching a 'balanced'
state of cooperation and coexistence.

This balanced state comes from an even playing
field of reinforcement, motivation, consequences
and most importantly consistency. A dog must have a
clear understanding of what is expected from it
under any circumstances.

At
"Best Friend" we offer more than just
training...but services that can assist you in offering
a secure, happy, and fun-filled life for your pet.
