I’ve only been using Best Paw Forward for a month but I am beyond impressed!! Michael has helped me tremendously with my new yellow lab as well as my other older dogs. I wouldn’t be able to do the training on my own. Very happy with their style as well as ability to answer my questions in between sessions. I’m definitely planning to continue with the puppy training as well as some “tweaking “ of my older dogs. Would recommend them highly!!

We had THE BEST experience with Michael Badial from Best Paw Forward! We struggled with walking our dog on a leash (she was walking us) and with our dog's anxiety. He worked on exercises that built her confidence and we saw such a difference! He was so calm & relaxed and our dog (Siri) loved him! We did five hour-long training sessions and not only received training during the sessions, but information about Michael's experiences that will help us going forward. I HIGHLY recommend using Best Paw Forward! :-)

One of the best decisions we made this year was to hire Best Paw Forward to help train our chocolate lab puppy. We bought Samwell to help fill a recent painful void and to add some much needed joy into our lives. Before our lessons started, we were having substantial setbacks trying to teach Sam to behave. We were also getting bad advice from random dog owners. As soon as our sessions with Michael started, we began to see immediate improvements. Michael was patient with us and Sam and even adjusted his lessons directly to our living environment. We also have an 11 year old black lab so Michael added lessons about their interactions to our sessions. Today, Sam no longer bloodies my hands. He listens when he is given a command. And he continues to cheer us up every minute of every day. Thank you Michael and Best Paw Forward!

We had our chocolate lab puppy for almost a month, sleep was limited, puppy bites literally had blood flowing. I contacted Best Paw Forward and they set me up for an appt right away the following day. I was able to work out a schedule that was convienent. I was hoping for magic after our first session, but it only took two! Michael really drills in the importance of the owners keeping up with training as homework and honestly that’s probably why we didn’t see results right away (we were new puppy owners and tired). But we quickly learned it’s not just about the trainer training the dog so much as he’s training you to train the dog! We now love coming home to our puppy. He gets along very well with our senior dog, when before he was a bully. I would recommend the investment into your puppy or dogs manners, it’s well worth it!

We can not say enough good things about Michael, Jamie and their team at Best Paw Forward. They have helped us, first better understand the behaviors or our boxer puppy and then work towards better behavior that serves both us and our lovable pup. Aside from just being amazing trainers they really care about your dogs well being. If you are looking for a trainer call them ASAP!
