This was the best thing we ever did for our nervous doxie! We were told upfront about the 4 week program, what to expect, and how to follow up at home.. Courtney, the trainer who worked with our dog, was knowledgeable and capable. Her daily videos are really helping us follow through with issues we didn’t know how to handle. From the time we dropped him off each morning to CC, to picking him up from. Courtney, to watching snd learning from the videos, Best Paw Forward did a fantastic job… and Chsmberlain LOVED going each day! He is now a different dog and had made life much happier for us and him!

We had the best experience working with Mike. Not only did he help our dog but helped with our training skills too. He was super welcoming and informative and wanted nothing but the best for our dog. Mike took the time to focus on what our dog needed and how we can set him up for success. Such a pleasure working with him!

The best decision we made for our boy Jet. After speaking with Mike and Jamie we were excited to enrolled Jet in the 3 week board and train. We were not disappointed, Jet loved going and he improved every single day. Courtney, kept us in the loop with his training and progress everyday with a video on YouTube showing what they did that day. If we had any questions Courtney would get back to us right away and when we picked him up she would tell us what they work on that day. Jet loved it so much we did a fourth week. The best part of all this is it’s not over just because training is over. Best Paw Forward provides follow up training and private lessons as well as any help you need with any issues with training. We can’t say enough about our experience with Mike, Jamie, Courtney and the whole Best Paw Forward staff and we are happy to be part of the family. If you want your good dog to be a great dog we highly recommend you call Best Paw Forward as soon as possible!!!

I took my 15 month old Labradoodle to Best Paw Forward for training for leash reactivity and recall for 4 weeks. They trainers were wonderful and he loved going there. When he returned his reactivity and recall were much improved although not altogether perfect. However, they gave me the tools to keep working with him confidently. I would recommend them highly.

Would give 10+ stars if I could - the experience start to finish was stellar. The team got us set up and into a board and train program very promptly, taking time to explain all the details and answer my questions. Our 2 year old doodle girl Junie was nervous and lunging at cars on walks, jumping up on guests, and very wary of other dogs. Michael, Courtney, and the team provided Junie with an amazing three weeks of guidance and reassurance - it was clear from the videos she was making progress, and we love having them so we can continue the training at home. We have gone from 5-10 min walks where we both got overwhelmed, to relaxed 40 min sniff walks around our neighborhood, more calm greetings when people enter the house, and more confidence greeting other dogs in the neighborhood. We really couldn't be more thrilled with the positive developments in our life together with Junie since completing this program - thank you!!!
