Testimonials
“Dog’s Best Friend helped us train our rescue Belgian Malinois that came from an abusive background. Their methods are gentle, humane, and effective. They are incredible dog trainers. Unlike other facilities, they have many methods and don’t teach 10 dogs the same thing at once in a ‘one size fits all’ session. They do guarantee their training methods. Our dog went from cowering to jumping through hula hoops and climbing ladders to extremely impressive obedience.”
– Michelle & Sean Hanley
“Dog’s Best Friend is absolutely amazing. Before choosing this program, we sat in on other classes (all the big names in SE WI). Dog’s Best Friend was hands down the best trainers and their program was the most thorough and in depth. They taught us how to train our dog and had us practice in class with other dogs around. They mix the classes so you get to see advanced dogs along with puppies. They let you see what your dog can become and where you came from. Because of that we got to see them in action in every type of situation from aggressive dogs, to overly friendly, to lazy. Their honest, straightforward, real-world advise and knowledge is unsurpassed. Not only that, but they have a way with dogs that I’ve never seen before (and I’ve been around animals my whole life). They have several programs to choose from. I can’t say enough good things about them and their skills.”

About the Trainer
Dog’s Best Friend is a full-time, professional, premier dog training facility dedicated to educating and training dogs and their owners to achieve exceptional levels of success. They aim to redefine traditional obedience training, focusing on a two-fold definition: a dog obeying commands even when it strongly resists, and a dog consistently behaving well without needing commands.
They emphasize developing and using energetic, exciting, and innovative training methods that ensure incredible results while maintaining enjoyment for the dog, owner, and trainer. Their approach is based on “Canine Sociology,” which they describe as an easy, gentle, fun, rewarding, perfect, true, and foolproof science. They also highlight their ability to solve aggressive behavior, stating they do what other places cannot.
