They use positive reinforcement methods to teach basic obedience and manners, fostering a fun and social environment for dogs to learn and play. Best Friend Forever K9 Training is dedicated to helping pet owners and their furry family members live their best lives together. We understand that each dog is an individual and will respond differently to different training methods. That’s why we utilize a balanced approach to training that focuses on positive reinforcement, reward-based methods and the importance of clear, consistent communication.

Mandy was so great to work with and our pup is doing so well after two weeks of board and train. It’s clear he had so much love while staying with her but also learned so much. Come, sit, stay, easy walking on the leash and learning self control with behaviors like counter surfing and chewing, etc. He’s a much happier dog knowing what’s expected of him and that we’ll follow through in guiding him, and we are a much happier family who can thoroughly enjoy having him close by for all family activities throughout the day. So grateful for his training!!
We have two airedales with very different needs, and Mandy always takes great care of them. Each time we’ve been away she sends daily updates, including photos. We’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing that our two fur babies are being loved on so well.

Having my wonderful dog, TaterTot, get the opportunity to attend Mandy Welch’s dog training program has been truly amazing for all of us. Not only is he doing so well with his manners and obedience, we are now able to take Tater out and about knowing that he can be appropriate and confident in public. I am so appreciative that Mandy was willing to help us and our dog, Tater Tot. Thank you Mandy!!!
My dogs aren’t the only ones who respond to positive reinforcement. Although I don’t get treats, I do get lots of encouragement from Wendy. I’ve learned a lot, my dogs are much happier and they love going to class. Training takes time and patience and Wendy really encourages these. It’s all been a positive experience and we’re looking forward to our next round of training.
