Great things happen when we study dogs and teach ourselves. Our puppy classes teach dog owners to transform into dog parents. Learning how to responsively relate and communicate in a meaningful way with our puppies creates amazing outcomes. For those looking for puppy kindergarten, obedience or puppy socialization classes, you have come to the right place. :)

Please call them. Megan will answer all your questions. We too have a pup that is very different from our previous dogs. We needed help too. We're now in our second class at YDBF and we've learned so much.

After trying multiple trainers over the years for my dog's reactivity and other behavioral issues, I finally found Freddie. He used a different method than any other trainer I've encountered, and I saw a huge improvement in my pup almost immediately. We had three sessions, and Freddie was professional, reliable, and so understanding of my dog's behavior for each and every session. For the first time in years, I feel like I can relate to my dog and help guide him in the right direction. I can't say enough good things about Freddie.

Couldn't agree more with other reviewers that Freddie is amazing! Truly a Zen dog whisperer. Freddie is patient and takes the time to explain the psychology behind dog behavior which has allowed me to not only change behavior in my dog that was problematic, but has also led to a stronger bond with him.

We’ve had 3 training sessions with Freddie and have already started seeing results! Freddie has been able to explain, in depth, why our dog is acting a certain way and what we can do to support him in making better decisions. It has been such a relief working with Freddie, as we have worked with 3 previous dog trainers who basically gave up on our dog. We now have the skills to make sure our dog is in a calm place before introducing him to new people and playing with him and have such a better bond with him!

I have been working with in-home training sessions with Freddie for only two sessions so far and the results have been INCREDIBLE!!! My dog was experiencing leash reactivity and Freddie really made me understand the psychology of why my dog does the things he does and what I can do to help him.
The training is life changing and has helped me and my pups build a much stronger bond than ever before. I feel so confident walking my dog now even after just two sessions. Freddie really understands dogs and the connections they have to humans and other dogs. It's really eye-opening. Highly recommend Freddie!
