Testimonials

“These people are absolutely amazing !! We started with training my dog Sadie while they were looking for my German Shepherd. She is much improved and they found a fantastic puppy for me. They trained him ( and me too ! lol). I have to say, Max is the best puppy i have ever had. He is 6 months old now and getting huge but is so very well behaved !! I take him to Lowes to practice what we have learned and socialize him and i get a ton of compliments every time I go !! If you ever need dog training for any dog I HIGHLY recommended these wonderful people.”
– Kathy Moore

“A very big thank you once again to Mans Best Friend Dog Training. The people here are amazing!!!!! I can’t thank Lee, Michele, Hope, and staff enough for what they have done for our family. The results of their work will forever leave a mark in my family and most importantly my children’s adolescents. Most recently we were blessed with dog #6(two others have been for family members) from Mans Best Friend, and now dad(me) has not stop smiling since!! Thanks guys! You all are truly amazing!!!”
– Barry Curlee

“Man’s Best Friend Dog Training has given my wife and myself the basic tools and knowledge to understand what our German Shepard is looking for in us. Training her is no longer a mystery of what we should or should not be doing. We “rescued” her from a family that couldnt or didnt want to handle her. I believe, if they could see her after 4 lessons, they would regret their decision to let her go. It’s obvious that the staff and family at Man’s Best Friend Dog Training love dogs and love what they do. Money well spent!”
– Ryan Kunsman
