While Percy is my third dog, it's been 7 years' since I had a puppy in the house. I am so, so glad I reached out to Best Behaved Dogs for some in-home puppy training! Janet was amazing! She knows so much about dog training that she had multiple ideas of things we could try for each issue I asked her about!
She helped me outline a rough schedule for potty, play, train, eat, rest, and repeat to help me get through a work day; gave me a refresher on how to interrupt the INSANE puppy biting and redirect appropriately; observed and pointed out some coveting behavior by my older dog that I was completely unaware of; gave fabulous recommendations for safe socialization; and much more. Plus, did I mention she sent detailed NOTES following our session?
Such a joy when you find really talented professionals. I'm so glad I called Best Behaved Dogs!

Janet is an amazing dog trainer and person. We asked for her to help us with our new Golden puppy. She gave us the tools we need to help him fit into our family with small children. We are so thankful for Janet’s compassion and expertise!

Janet from Best Behaved Dogs was fantastic to work with and made everything very easy to understand. She helped my husband Jon and I learn the best methods to get our dog Oscar (4 month old hound mix) to modify his behavior. The techniques that she showed us have already led to a noticeable difference in Oscar's behavior both around us and our cats as well. He is well on the way to becoming a more cohesive part of our family and we owe it all to Janet's expertise. I cannot recommend Best Behaved Dogs enough! Thank you!!!

Janet is an amazing dog trainer. I am so happy that I chose her to train me and my dog. She started off, asking me what I wanted to get out of training and we continued this journey throughout our six week training. My dog, Tina, now walks nicely on a leash, follows several commands and is a joy to be with in and out of the house. I highly recommend choosing Janet with Best Behaved Dogs for your training needs. As a retired educator, I recognized her knowledge of dog psychology and her ability to use creative approaches to achieve the desired behavior in my dog.
Do yourself a favor and hire Janet with Best Behaved Dogs! You and your dog deserve a happy life together.
