My dog is a year old and new to our family (SPCA). He loves coming for lessons with BFF. I learn so much from each session and the hand-outs help me remember what I've learned when I get home.
Excellent meeting learning about the training with end goal of becoming a Therapy team with my dog. Got detailed explanation of the commitment and cost required. Very excited to get started Kim was amazing, and Sisu my dog and myself can hardly wait. Thank you for your time and all the information. Janet
Trainer, Kim, is very knowledgeable on dog behavior and how to spot issues before they happen. We enjoy the field trips with her. My dog, Riley, is ready to go the minute he sees his vest!
