What would it be like to have a dog that was behaved so well, that they are invited to visit again? How would you like your dog to focus on you rather than everything else? Best Paw Forward is the answer. You get the benefit of PJ’s 30+ years of training experience with classes small enough to get help on all the little things! Best Paw provides many options to exercise your dog physically and mentally. My Aussie was fearful and reactive, pulling me off my feet, lunging and barking at other dogs. She has transformed to a wonderful dog, welcomed everywhere she goes. I am so thankful for the insightful training we have received. I only wish I had known about Best Paw earlier.
Very positive trainer with individualized examples given during group classes on how to handle your dogs training challenges! They have both agility and rally fields set up that you learn to use during training. Great experience with first Corgi so took our next one there too.
Wouldn’t recommend. You can’t explain what your concerns are, she talks over you and cuts you off. I saw that she can’t handle more than one dog to train. No one in my family was too happy with how she trained.
I have known PJ Lacette for over 20 years and highly respect her as a training instructor. She emphasizes positive reinforcement when training dogs and their owners. She has classes in all kinds of activities to interact and build your bond with your dog. Highly recommend
