Bringing the Best out of Your Buddy!

 

Best Buddies Dog Training Services

At Best Buddies Dog Training, we offer tailored one-on-one lessons designed to meet the specific needs of you and your dog - all in the comfort of your own home. By training in your familiar environment, we can focus on the places where you and your dog walk , play, and interact.

Every dog is unique, with their own temperament, traits, and needs. Our approach allows us to assess and address behavioral issues for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to wise adult dogs, as well as provide foundational obedie nce training that suits your dog's individual personality.

Whether you're looking to teach basic commands, correct unwanted behaviors, or enhance your dog's social skills, we’re here to help. Our positive reinforcement methods create a fun and engaging environment for your furry friend, ensuring effective learning and a strong bond between you and your dog.

Walk & Train Sessions

Walk & Train sessions are a structured training service — not a dog walking service. These sessions provide additional training and reinforcement between private lessons and help dogs practice skills in real-world environments.

Walk & Train sessions are handled by the trainer and include active training throughout the walk.

Walk & Train sessions focus on:

  • Leash manners and engagement
  • Calm behavior around distractions
  • Confidence building
  • Practicing skills through repetition

This service is ideal as an add-on to private training packages or for ongoing maintenance support.

Walk & Train Investment

Single Walk & Train Session: $75 (1 hour)
5-Session Walk & Train Package: $350

Walk & Train sessions are a training service that includes structured walks, active skill reinforcement, and real-world practice — not passive exercise.

Which Package Is Right for My Dog?

3-session packages are a good fit if:

  • You have specific goals you’d like help with
  • Your dog has some existing foundations
  • You’re comfortable practicing between sessions

6-session packages are recommended if:

  • You’re starting from the beginning
  • Your dog needs consistency and repetition
  • You want ongoing guidance and support

For behavior concerns, most dogs benefit from the structure and gradual progress provided by a 6-session package.

Training Packages & Investment

Training is an investment in your dog’s long-term well-being and your day-to-day quality of life. Packages are designed to provide consistency, individualized support, and meaningful progress — not quick fixes.

All packages include:

  • Private, in-home training sessions
  • A customized training plan
  • Clear guidance for you between sessions
  • Ongoing support throughout your package
