Rescuing a dog from a shelter can be a very stressful experience, and having the right support around you is key! Christy at Best Buddies is knowledgeable, experienced, and attuned to all the ins and outs of training and growing with a dog. She helped me take my rescue from barely knowing any commands to a place where he has begun to thrive! There are lots of dog trainers out there, but not all of them are equally skilled and dedicated. See for yourself — you and your dog won't regret it.

We brought our 10 month old pup home when he was 7 months old, and he was terrified of everything and lacking confidence. We’ve done two private sessions with Christy. From the very beginning she was so patient and understanding with him. We couldn’t even make it through the door at training the first time and by the end, he was going inside and running around comfortably in no time. We worked on basic obedience and more importantly, learned the right way to teach and communicate with him.
In just two sessions, we’ve already seen a huge improvement. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with our pup and helping him build confidence. Thank... read full review

Christy at Best Buddies is the best. Not only did she train my wild man rescue, but she built my confidence with him. We can now walk around other dogs, people, deer, and other distractions. Christy made it possible for me to keep my big boy dog and to really enjoy him. Highly recommend Best Buddies.
