Private One on One Training

Private One on One Basic Obedience is our original program, and if you have the time, works great. In "One on One" Basic Obedience, a trainer will work with you One on One and teach you how to train your dog. At the end of this phase your dog will know Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place, both on leash and off leash. Your dog will follow all these commands during distractions and without food bribes. When in heel (walk next to me) your dog will happily pay attention to which directions you choose to walk and stay with you. During Basic Obedience you will never hit or yell at your dog. All attention getting techniques are done at vey low levels and copious amounts of praise and love will be used to reinforce wanted behavior. We've found that most people need to practice about 25 min a day, every day to get the offleash result with this program. This is a "Lifetime" training program and all clients are welcome to our weekly group classes FREE for the lifetime of their dog. A dog must be at least 4 months old to start this phase of training.

We get calls all the time from people who said their dog had "failed" obedience school. The problem usually is not the dog but what the other school failed to successfully teach the owner. This is a shame and a waste of money. Best Friend's Dog Training® understands that telling someone to "do this" is not good enough. You need to understand why you are doing something. We know it takes some people longer then others to understand what is being taught. That's why we offer One Price for the Life of the Dog. We give free evaluations so you and ask us all the questions you want and there are no suprises. Due to High gas prices and an economic crunch for some some families, we are now giving two options for the One on One training package.

Board and Train

A 2 week boarding program that is followed up with private lessons in your home. Over the years, this program has exploded in popularity and is our most referred program from existing clients to their friends and family.Most people who choose Board and Train either have little time to train their dog, are going away on vacation, are pregnant, or their dog is physically stronger then they are, and they need their dog trained. Although the owners still need to maintain training, this program requires less effort than the "At Home" program. Here is how it works.

Your dog will come and stay with us for two weeks. At the end of this phase your dog will know Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, Down, Off, Leave it, and Place, both on leash and off leash. The dog will be trained 2-3 times every day, in the home, outside, near shopping centers, around other dogs, squirrels, people, cars etc. We introduce the dog to as many different circumstances as possible. Between training sessions, your dog will have playtime, snacks, and walks. When the dog returns home, a trainer will give you the first follow up lesson in your home. Best Friend's Dog Training insists on the follow up training sessions to make the training long lasting and effective so the owners understand what to do.

This is a "Lifetime" training program and all clients are welcome to our weekly group classes FREE for the lifetime of their dog. A dog must be at least 4 months old to start this phase of training, and have vaccines including Bordatella

Leash Only Training

Both the In Home and Board and Train programs are available with "Leash Only" traditional training. Although leash based training is effective, it takes far more work to get a similar, but less reliable result. Some people only want this training, and because of the increased training time needed from our trainers, the cost is exactly the same as the offleash programs. Since most people need to see the difference, we suggest calling for a free evaluation in your home so a trainer can show you the difference and answer your questions in the comfort of your home.

"Lifetime" Group Class

All basic obedience and advanced obedience training classes include a "Lifetime" membership to the Best Friend's Dog Training Community. The "Lifetime" membership is for the life of your dog and provides unlimited follow-up group classes, annual picnics and parties for dogs, as well as receiving a discount on boarding.
