We offer a variety of positive reinforcement dog training obedience classes for all dogs and handlers. What does positive mean? We reward the behaviors that we like/want. We get those behaviors by using methods that do not use fear, force or intimidation. We reward by using praise, treats, toys, life rewards, etc. Trust and cooperation are the root of our relationship-based training. Our methods are based in the scientific learning theory of animals. We are dog behavior geeks and love what we do.
Many of our classes are offered at several skill levels. Whether you intend to go on to shows, trials or just want to have a great dog, we have the right fit of classes for you. Everyone learns in a fun, positive and safe atmosphere!

I recently enrolled my 8 year old golden retriever Winifred in the Introduction to therapy dog class. After losing her big brother a month prior, I wanted to do some training with Winifred for bonding between the two of us. I was so impressed by the trainers, and their knowledge of all different types of dogs. I decided to enroll in the rally in obedience class afterwards to train her more. I was cautious at first, but this class is really taught the two of us in obedience. It’s a really fun class! It has really stimulated my dogs brain. I am so happy with Best Best Forward training classes. The instructors are really great!

Just finished up Manner's One. Excellent force free, fear free and pain free instruction. Clear visual demonstrations of how the handler is the driving force in the dogs behavior. Each instructor was hands on with one on one time with all the students. Facility is safe, clean and class size is small. Most of all, the training was fun. The morning after the class, a lesson plan with detailed instructions and videos was in our e mail in box for guidance during the week as we practiced.

Outstanding advice for young dogs and puppies. Easy to understand instruction. I recommend BPF to anyone with a new K9 family member.
