Best Dog Training Academy

I’m so grateful I found Best Dog! I spent months trying to find someone that I aligned with and trusted with my 11 month old pup. Nothing felt right until I met Whitney. She helped guide me in places I was uncertain and taught me how to properly utilize the tools that were the best fit for my dog. The support she has given me has allowed me to grow in confidence and technique when it comes to addressing concerns with my pup’s behavior. Puberty is hard haha. I can say though that he has made exponential growth since consistently applying what we worked on in our session at Best Dog. When I need to go out of town without my pup I will also be utilizing her board and train services. I have lost a dog when in someone else’s care before so it is not something I trust easily with. I know that in her care, his training that I have put my all into will not only be maintained but improved and that she will make the right choices to keep my dog safe both mentally and physically. During our meet and greet she did a little work with my pup to feel him out when I was vetting her. I was of course also reading my dog when she had his leash to evaluate how he was responding to her. We had just played for an hour at a SniffSpot and had a quick weigh in stop at the vet prior to this meeting though as I didn’t expect them to really work him. Rather than “show off” to prove her skills to get hired, she recognized my pup was overstimulated quickly and needed a break instead. This was huge for me as it showed me that not only was she listening to my dog’s needs but that she was going to choose my dog’s wellness first. She seems to always be looking to improve herself as a trainer and gain new knowledge too. Due to this she is able to evaluate each cases unique needs rather than just have a catch all approach which I find extremely valuable. Thank you Whitney!

We have loved working with Best Dog and Whitney! The training improvements for our dog Enzo have been extremely helpful, and he seems to enjoy going through his training sessions. During overnight stays, we get photos and videos showing things they are working on as well as updates on how Enzo is doing being away. They really do a great job at easing our mind with leaving our dog overnight for extended periods. We look forward to continuing to work with Best Dog and their team!

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Best Dog Training Academy! Our one-year-old Brittany Spaniel, Teddy, has made tremendous progress thanks to the expert guidance of our trainer, Whitney. Teddy used to pull relentlessly on the leash, making walks frustrating—but Whitney completely turned that around. She now walks calmly by our side, and the change has been remarkable. Beyond that, she’s also become significantly more well-behaved at home, showing more impulse control and responsiveness. Whitney’s approach is thoughtful, patient, and incredibly effective. She clearly understands canine behavior and tailors her training to what each dog (and owner!) needs. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and we highly recommend Best Dog Training Academy to anyone looking for real results and a positive training experience.
