Michael is a kind and responsive owner and trainer. He uses positive training techniques with the dogs, and gives gentle guidance to their owners. My dog Mojo and I have had an enjoyable experience working with him, and will recommend him to others needing help with their pups!

I rescued a hound mix earlier this year and he was completely uncontrollable, now I can walk him and his reactivity is completely gone. He is so predictable now and I could not be happier with the dog I brought home!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Best Paw Forward. Our 9 month old pup, Teddy, completed a 4 week day training program. Michael, Jamie & Courtney are very knowledgeable, kind & patient. They were always there to answer any questions I had. I especially appreciate the training videos of your pup. The videos are an easy way to understand what I need to keep doing in order to help Teddy move forward. I highly recommend Best Paw Forward if you're looking for help with your dog.

Had a consultation with michael. Said dogs know what they want and that my dog doesn't want to be around other dogs on purpose. DOGS ARE PACK ANIMALS. Do your research before calling yourself a professional. Even laughed at my thought of my dog being lonely. Real trashy. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
