FirstBarkI wish I could give Silvia 137 stars! 5 just doesn't cut it. Really a stellar trainer. Very thorough, insightful, tangible in the steps to be taken, and so caring to not only the dog, but also, the entire family unit. I did the three trainings option and am so glad I did. By the third training, it was like I had a different dog. Highly recommend!

Can you help with a 3 month old puppy that chews and bites my older dog? She does not listen well and seems wild.
Hi Nancy. Your puppy sounds like a perfectly normal three month old! I would be happy to help you with this concern. First and foremost my recommendation is to enroll in a well run puppy class to help gain the training skills to teach your baby an incompatible behavior. Puppies play using their teeth and their paws so she is doing what comes naturally. We oftentimes forget that our puppies do not speak English so teaching them in the manner they are designed to learn will go a long way to creating a more harmonious household.

We’ve worked with Silvia twice now, for 2 dogs with different behavior issues, a few years apart. Both times we did the private training sessions to get one on one instruction time with her. Silvia is always quick to respond to inquiries, and scheduling with her was a breeze. It was important to me to have a trainer that focuses on positive reinforcement, and I greatly appreciate that this is the method Silvia uses. I also appreciate her directness- she does not waste time and is very clear with explaining why she’s showing you certain techniques. Both of our dogs had fun in the training sessions, and my husband and I both felt that our concerns about their behaviors were heard/validated and handled professionally by Silvia. We feel confident that we’re on the right path for our pups with the tools we’ve been given.

Silvia came to our home to help us with, Athena, our Border Collie/German Shepherd's anxiety and discomfort with my husband. She provided straight forward advice and strategies to utilize to help Athena become more comfortable. Athena has made progress and so have we! I really appreciate that Silvia came to our home to work with us and Athena. Additionally, I appreciate that although our in-home sessions have concluded, we can still reach out to her for advice should we get stuck or if something comes up that we aren't sure how to handle. I highly recommend Silivia and Best Friend Companion Dog Training!
We did 3 sessions with Silvia for our high anxiety and reactive dog. We finished our last session today and it has been a night and day difference!! Learning tools for training not only for our dog but ourselves as well. HIGHLY recommend her if you have a nervous puppy like ours. She is so patient and non judgmental. We will definitely be back for any training we need in the future. Thank you!!
Silvia is absolutely incredible!! She helped us work with our very anxious and scared dog to build trust and learn lots of new skills. Her techniques are effective and our dog responded so well to them. From the very first interactions with Silvia she was prompt and professional. It's clear she cares deeply about her work and wants to see us succeed. I highly recommend Silvia!!
