I tried reaching out to them multiple times and in multiple ways to sign up for a weekend class and no one got back to me, which then sold out. This was not appreciated as I now can’t make it to any of their remaining classes for the year. Please work on your customer service.

We've done Puppy K, Obedience, Therapy Dog training, and Rally Obedience at Best Friends. Great instructors and I love that they don't encourage punishment-based training. My dog is always SO happy to go to class. I can't wait to see the new and improved facility coming at the end of the year!!

Signed up for a dog tricks course. The school is in the middle of nowhere, but it's a good space for dogs and lots of room in the parking lot. Teachers are very qualified and they very clearly love dogs. Great place to go.

We’ve taken Puppy K with Amanda and Beginner Obedience with Nancy, and both were amazing experiences! Our Posie girl loved both instructors so much. You can tell how passionate, caring, and experienced the instructors are. Really appreciate how they take the time to help where needed, because they truly care about your successes. We can’t wait to register for our next classes!
