Best Paw Forward K9 Training

It is unusual to find a dog trainer who is as brilliant with people as they are with animals, and for me that's just one of the things that makes Pat such a gem. She understands and adores dogs, and endeavors to know each pup's unique challenges and strengths. She was committed to learning about and appreciating our 6-month old, Ari, and, in doing so, figured out exactly how to strengthen his confidence while instilling more positive behaviors. And then she showed ME how to build on his growing skill set! After three weeks with Pat, Ari moves forward in the face of the unknown (no more stop and flop!) and is becoming the go-everywhere dog I hoped he'd be. Pat's support of Ari and of our entire family has been invaluable. We are all so grateful for Pat and Best Paw Forward!

We are so thankful that we found Pat. Our young Westie Marco had traveled from abroad to be a part of our family which includes an older fellow Westie. Marco understandably had some issues adjusting as did we all. Three weeks with Pat and Marco is a calmer, happier pup who now has structure and what appears to be a good sense of security and confidence. Thanks to Pat, we can now watch our little big man grow up happy in a well structured and low stress environment. Thank you Pat!

When I had my initial conversation with Pat, I knew that she would not only be the perfect trainer for our young Bernedoodle, June, she would be the perfect guide for our lifelong training goals. She brings her all to your pup and each conversation. Over the course of the 3 week program, we received communications, videos, pictures, and insight to how we can continue June’s progress when she comes home. Every minute of our time with Pat has been exceptional. I will miss our phone calls and texts but know that she is just one phone call away. Reach out to Pat, ask questions, follow her recommendations; you will not regret it. June left our home a gigantic puppy with past training that wouldn’t stick. She is coming home to educated owners that are ready to continue to build off what we have both learned, and we all have a new friend in Pat. Thank you!
