FirstBarkLike having Cesar Milan in your home. I was a skeptic (and admitted as much) but after 2 hours of in-home training (which was mostly training the humans, honestly) we had a happier, more relaxed dog. Best money I’ve spent on our pooch.

About Your Dog's Best Friend
Great things happen when we study dogs and teach ourselves. Our puppy classes teach dog owners to transform into dog parents. Learning how to responsively relate and communicate in a meaningful way with our puppies creates amazing outcomes. For those looking for puppy kindergarten, obedience or puppy socialization classes, you have come to the right place. :)

We worked with Freddie and had an amazing experience!! he has so much knowledge to share and has allowed us a much better understanding of our dog and what he needs to be successful. we would highly recommend Freddie to anyone in need of a trainer!
Very heart oriented and not so technical with clickers and making dogs jump through hoops - much appreciated
I used Freddie and he really helped me understand my dog on a deeper level. Some adjustments have helped us. It is an investment but a worthy one. Definitely recommend.

We worked with Freddie on issues surrounding our Boxer puppy’s nipping and being rough with my small children. Two sessions with him were absolutely transformative, helping me understand what my puppy was thinking and how to better communicate with her in ways she would understand. The issues with my kids stopped and we were also able to work on other big things, like leash walking, crating and overall limits and thresholds. Freddie explained and demonstrated the concepts, had fun games for teaching them and also seemed to celebrate my dog’s energy instead of finding it a drawback. I would highly highly recommend sessions with him, especially families with children who have brought a new dog home.
