What local owners say
The best decision we made for our boy Jet. After speaking with Michael and Jamie we were excited to enrolled Jet in the 3 week board and train. We were not disappointed, Jet loved going and he improved every single day. Courtney, kept us in the loop with his training and progress everyday with a video on YouTube showing what they did that day. If we had any questions Courtney would get back to us right away and when we picked him up she would tell us what they work on that day. Jet loved it so much we did a fourth week. The best part of all this is it’s not over just because training is over. Best Paw Forward provides follow up training and private lessons as well as any help you need with any issues with training. We can’t say enough about our experience with Mike, Jamie, Courtney and the whole Best Paw Forward staff and we are happy to be part of the family. If you want your good dog to be a great dog we highly recommend you call Best Paw Forward as soon as possible!!!
Would give 10+ stars if I could - the experience start to finish was stellar. The team got us set up and into a board and train program very promptly, taking time to explain all the details and answer my questions. Our 2 year old doodle girl Junie was nervous and lunging at cars on walks, jumping up on guests, and very wary of other dogs. Michael, Courtney, and the team provided Junie with an amazing three weeks of guidance and reassurance - it was clear from the videos she was making progress, and we love having them so we can continue the training at home. We have gone from 5-10 min walks where we both got overwhelmed, to relaxed 40 min sniff walks around our neighborhood, more calm greetings when people enter the house, and more confidence greeting other dogs in the neighborhood. We really couldn't be more thrilled with the positive developments in our life together with Junie since completing this program - thank you!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Best Paw Forward Dog Training. From the moment I reached out, their team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. The trainers were not only experts in dog behavior but also attentive and supportive throughout the entire process. Eden completed a four-week day training program, allowing her to go to school during the day and come home at night. The daily videos and conversations with her trainers made me feel included in her journey as I learned with her. Eden has made fantastic progress in addressing her fears and reactivity and truly loves everyone on the Best Paw Forward team. If you're looking for dedicated, skilled trainers who go above and beyond, I highly recommend Best Paw Forward. They've made an incredible impact, and I’m grateful beyond words!

Whether through private lessons, day school, or puppy training, we guide you every step of the way. You’ll see progress quickly and have ongoing support to keep it going at home.
Do you use one specific training method?
No single method works for every dog. We take a positive-first, evidence-based approach that focuses on building trust, motivation, and clear communication. If a situation calls for other tools or methods, we’ll introduce them thoughtfully and only in a way that keeps your dog safe, ensures real progress, and fits your comfort level. Every plan is customized to your dog and your goals.
What types of dogs do you work with?
From brand-new puppies to strong-willed rescues and everything in between, we’ve helped dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether you’re raising a well-mannered family pet or tackling more challenging behaviors, our trainers have the experience to help.
How do I know this will work for my dog?
Every dog is different, which is why we start with a free phone consult and build a customized plan. We use a positive-first, evidence-based approach tailored to your dog’s personality, history, and your goals. Even if you’ve “tried everything,” our experience with hundreds of dogs means we know how to create lasting change.
Do you guarantee results?
Every dog is different, and lasting results come from a combination of expert training and owner follow-through. What we do guarantee is that you’ll get clear, step-by-step guidance and ongoing support to help you reach your goals with your dog. Our goal is to help you feel more confident and in control, while helping your dog feel calmer and easier to live with.
How much does training cost?
The investment depends on the program that’s right for your dog. Our board and train programs are our most comprehensive option, with daily professional training, enrichment, video updates, a personalized go-home plan, and a follow-up lesson—all designed to create lasting results.
Private lessons are also a great way to work directly with a trainer while keeping costs lower.
Every dog is unique, which is why we start with a free phone consultation. This gives us a chance to recommend the best program for your goals and provide a clear idea of the investment. Most families find it’s a small price compared to the peace of mind, confidence, and calmer home life they gain.
