Pet Boarding Training near Hartland

“Best Paw Forward is The Best. Many other dog trainers are great at being positive with dogs but not so great at being positive with people, understandably getting frustrated with people’s rate of learning to communicate with their dogs. Best Paw trainers excel at positive reinforcement of both dogs and their people. Feedback is positive and constructive. Much of the learning takes place by playing games with the dogs. Best Paw has increased my confidence in working with my dogs and enhanced my relationships with them. There are other trainers closer to where I live, but it’s worth the extra time to drive to Best Paw. I am so glad to have found this treasure.“

“I wish we had found Kate so much sooner. We spend a LOT of money at one of those "big box" training companies that raves about their training but guarantees nothing. Now we understand why. In contrast, Kate very quickly became nicknamed "Momma Kate" after we started our board and train program with our two girls. Both of our dogs LOVE Kate and it shows that Kate loves them like her own. She took the time to get to know our girls and earn their trust and respect. She took into consideration their breed traits, personalities (very different from each other) and their training needs. Both girls were eager to work for her. Kate interacts and played with our girls making training fun; we arrived at the facility many times to find Momma Kate in the middle of a fierce tug session with one of our girls. The goal of the initial trainer we used was to "break" our dog and turn her into a "robot". Dogs are not meant to act like robots, and Kate enjoys the different, unique personalities of the dogs she works with.We also GREATLY appreciate that Kate limits the number of dogs she takes at a time. Knowing that she was taking them home with her every night was a relief in so many ways. Not only did we know she would be there if any needs arose, but training translated to different settings, one being a home, which is where out training would take place.We are an active family, and we are greatly enjoying the well mannered behavior we are now getting from our girls as it will allow us to take them with us to many more places. We also know that if any need arises, Kate is ALWAYS there to stand by her work and help us out. We couldn't recommend Kate and KC-K9 Academy Dog Training any more!“

“Carol spent so much time with us evaluating our rescued puppy mill dog and helping us understand her issues and making concrete recommendations to help us work with her. She is readily available for follow-up questions and advice. Her goal is to help us succeed.“

“Wow…..I just door dashed here. This was truly the most impressive training facilities I have ever witnessed. If you want absolute perfection in training your furry child….strongly advise this amazing company.“
