Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Can you teach my dog to come to me reliably off leash?

Yes! Reliable off-leash recall is absolutely something we can train. While it’s a common goal, it’s not a basic command - it requires a solid foundation in on-leash obedience and good manners at home first. Once those are in place, we can build up to off-leash training, ensuring your dog responds even with distractions like rabbits and squirrels. This is something we work on regularly with clients, and we’d love to help!

Question on Google
What kind of training do you provide?

Question on Google
How old should my dog be for training?

Training is important for dogs in all stages of life. The impact of proper socialization and training on a young puppy will impact them for their entire lives! Adult dogs also get huge benefits from training and owners should not believe the old saying that “old dogs can’t learn new tricks” We love helping owners improve their relationship with their dogs of all ages.

We took our rescued Doberman to Dog's Best Friend Training first for a 10 day board and train, followed by 4 one-on-one weekly lessons where my husband and I learned how to continue the training at home. The results have been nothing short of AMAZING. We're not sure who was trained better, us or our Doberman (Drea)...we all learned ALOT! What we found most impressive was the way Reid explained the dog's psychology to us and how she perceives us and the world around her. We now understand how and why she reacts to different stimuli. Dog's Best Friend also included tools of the training (collar, leash, a "place" mat) to allow us to continue working at home for consistency. The training has been super effective and has resulted in a calmer house with our other dog and much less stress for both the humans and the puppers in the home! Drea has her basic commands down, she loves the "work" and we LOVE the results. We confidently took her to Lowe's for some "training" and she did AMAZING! Calm, attentive, ignored distractions, socialized with people and other dogs, walked on leash, did turns and sat calmly on command in a busy environment. We couldn't be happier and can't recommend Dog's Best Friend enough! We're already planning to schedule an additional 4 week training to continue improve. 5-stars!!!

We’ve been so pleased with our dog training from DBF! We loved the individualized, personalized classes and how they worked directly with us to address and meet our goals with our new puppy. They have an immense knowledge of dog training and take time to help you understand the process. They are very accommodating with schedules and really get to know you and your dog so you can be most successful with your training in the future.

Reid and Cathy have been great to work with! Reid is extremely knowledgeable and has really helped me to understand and modify my dog’s behavior. I’ve gained many great tools for dog ownership overall in working with Dog’s Best Friend Training.
