I have worked with dogs since 1991. My passion for helping people & animals led me to open Best Buddies Dog Training in 2015 and offer agility, basic obedience training & socialization for puppies, adolescent & older dogs. My workshops are great for newly adopted dogs of any age as well! After establishing a strong obedience foundation fine tune manners and other behaviors in Best Manners. I can work with you to gain your ESA, CGC or Pet Therapy designation. I train only through positive, low stress training techniques (replacing bad behaviors with good ones and rewarding those). Positive, LS training methods have been scientifically proven to be the most successful especially with shy, fearful dogs. Happy dog + happy family = great life.

Training Philosophy: I believe training using bond-based, positive, low stress training methods (using treats, praise, agility and fun) is crucial to a well-behaved dog and beneficial to you and your family.

Small workshops (2-8 dogs and owners) in a relaxed, interactive, FUN environment. All basic commands are taught to establish a solid foundation before adding additional training commands. Family members welcome! Workshops are enjoyable for you and your dog. Smaller classes mean focused, hands-on training tailored to YOUR needs!
