Agility dog with a red border collie

Positive training with positive results!

"I adopted my dog Biggie from the Dane County Humane Society in December. I enrolled him right away with Dog’s Best Friend Training, starting with the Beginner Obedience class. Since then, we have taken classes all the way up through Advanced Obedience. We have also taken Agility 1 through Competition Agility 1 classes. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful (and have loads of patience which was needed, at times, with Biggie!) I have thoroughly enjoyed taking classes with Dog’s Best Friend and highly recommend them for training your dog!"

"I owe all of you at Dog's Best Friend Training a great big THANK YOU for all you have taught me since I started attending your classes two years ago with my Lab Guiness. When I adopted Guiness he was 6 months old. He was an easy going, happy pup without a care in the world. Your classes were a wonderful way for Guiness and me to develop our bond and we both had a lot of fun. When Guiness turned 1 1/2 years old and went through a fear stage. I found myself faced with a situation I had never faced before, living with a dog that at times was very unpredictable. Trainers Chelse and Lisa came to my rescue and taught me so much more about training a dog than I could ever imagine. They gave me the confidence and taught me the skills so that I could help Guiness overcome some of his fears, all while providing him with a positive learning environment and loving home."

"The staff at Dog's Best Friend have always been available to answer small questions and even have come to see us for a home visit after our puppy starting veering down to visit the road. They are truly an amazing resource."

"For more than 10 years Dog's Best Friend Training has been a meaningful part of life with our Berners – beginning with calm, beloved Healy and continuing with young,"spirited"(also beloved!) Cara! Positive reinforcement and individual guidance for both dog and human are integral to the many thoughtful and diverse classes offered. Together with indispensable one to one counsel from Chelse Wagner, DBF has provided the skills and confidence not only to raise well mannered and affectionate companions but to engage them with their humans in activities they love!"
