Shannon Skolaski, CPDT - Dog's Best Friend Training

Positive training with positive results!

"Thirteen years, two dogs, and numerous classes later, I'm here to testify that the teachers at DBF are superb and compassionate, the courses are everything that a dog owner needs, and the results for me were one dog who was a masterful tricks performer and the other who went from the dog of many challenges to a focused, well-behaved, and loving K-9 citizen. We could not have done it without Aimee, Chelse, and the rest of the DBF staff!"

"For more than 10 years Dog's Best Friend Training has been a meaningful part of life with our Berners – beginning with calm, beloved Healy and continuing with young,"spirited"(also beloved!) Cara! Positive reinforcement and individual guidance for both dog and human are integral to the many thoughtful and diverse classes offered. Together with indispensable one to one counsel from Chelse Wagner, DBF has provided the skills and confidence not only to raise well mannered and affectionate companions but to engage them with their humans in activities they love!"

"The staff at Dog's Best Friend have always been available to answer small questions and even have come to see us for a home visit after our puppy starting veering down to visit the road. They are truly an amazing resource."

"I owe all of you at Dog's Best Friend Training a great big THANK YOU for all you have taught me since I started attending your classes two years ago with my Lab Guiness. When I adopted Guiness he was 6 months old. He was an easy going, happy pup without a care in the world. Your classes were a wonderful way for Guiness and me to develop our bond and we both had a lot of fun. When Guiness turned 1 1/2 years old and went through a fear stage. I found myself faced with a situation I had never faced before, living with a dog that at times was very unpredictable. Trainers Chelse and Lisa came to my rescue and taught me so much more about training a dog than I could ever imagine. They gave me the confidence and taught me the skills so that I could help Guiness overcome some of his fears, all while providing him with a positive learning environment and loving home."

"If any one is interested in training and understanding your dog I highly recommend Dog's Best Friend. No matter what the situation they are there for you — be it through email or phone, they will address any of your concerns. I am very happy with the training I've received. The results that you see with your dog are amazing. I'm looking forward to taking my classes at Dog's Best Friend. Thank you so much Aimee, Chelse and Lisa for everything!"
