What people have asked about this business.

Hey I wanted to train my dog to be my service dog is this place good doe that and if not any place in the coachella valley?

Hi Edgar, We train service dogs. If your dog can be trained depends on your dog and the behavior you need the dog too learn. Guide Dogs have their own breeding program and still only have a 20% success rate, simply because the dog is unable to do that behavior. This is why there were over 30 lassies playing one dog. We can come out and let you know if we feel we can teach the dog the behavior you need. Let us know, we are happy to help.

Question on Google
You were recommended by neighbors Gina and Maria. Also by our Vet at P. S. Animal Hosp. Ollie is 65lb 17month terrier mix. Main problems: Over excited when meeting people; regressed on peeing in house. Can you help??

I can help you. My fee is either $125 an hour or 4 one hour sessions for $400 privately. I also offer 6 week classes for $125 let me know what you would like to do.

We had the pleasure of working with Valerie at our home for one session to get help with our dogs pulling. She spent a great amount of time getting to know our Biggie and showing us how to walk him. We now enjoy our walks and hikes. We then signed him up for her 6 week group training and they were so educational. Our dog had previously failed group classes somewhere else because of his high energy so we were nervous but she accepts all dogs and he ended up doing great this time around thanks to her. Highly recommend.

Gave horrible advice to my friend in consult and not enough follow up on the aggression issue she had. UNPROFESSIONAL!

Valerie’s dog training is wonderful. She pays such attention to each dog in the class, and has lots of fun (even with difficult dogs). I commend her for her patience, and support of helping train my English Springer Spaniel…..highly recommend Val and Best Paw Forward!!! Sally and Abby 🐾🐾

Boarding and training, first time. Valerie has a calm, confident and steady manner. In a trainer, you want that!
