Meet our Trainer

How are your dog's manners? If some training is in order, come and meet our new dog trainer Val.

Since he was a young boy, Val has had a love for dogs. When he was 6 years old, his grandmother had a beagle named "Prince". That's when it all started.

Val has personally owned several of his own dogs. A German Shepherd named "Rocky", a Keeshond named "Wrecks", and currently a Mini-Long Haired Dachshund named "Fritz".

Val has trained "tree hounds" in the North Maine Woods for over 10 years. He has a combined experience around 30 years. He is a Certified Master Trainer by the Anthony Jerone School, (the only dog training school licensed by the state of New York). He is also a Certified Behavioral Consultant, by the same school. Also Val is Certified by the AKC, as a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. He also holds a Certification in Canine First Aid by the American Red Cross. Val is a member of Schutzhund U.S.A..

Val takes a "holistic" approach to training dogs. He evaluates the temperament of the dog first and then uses the proper techniques that ensure that the dog will be trained effectively. He uses a blend of exercise, discipline, affection, operant conditioning (clicker training) and treats to mot?vate his pupils. Val believes that dog training is all about tightening the bond between owner and dog. And it is equally important to train the owner, so that he can truly understand his best friend.

Boarding:
We offer a wide array of spacious accommodations for dogs, as well as our feline guests. Enhance your pet's stay by choosing from our menu of activities and amenities, such as Bedtime Storytelling, Playtimes and Cuddletimes, Ice Cream Treats, Premium Bedding and more - available a la carte or in one of our Value Packages.


Grooming:
Our full-service salon caters to dogs of all shapes and sizes, short-haired or long. A basic Pampered Pet Package includes shampoo, brushing, nails, ears, and foot trim (if necessary). If a haircut is required, our stylists hand scissor or clip your dog to your specifications. Do you have a new puppy? It's never too soon to start their grooming routine - so ask about our $10 Puppy Groom Package.


Training:
Courses include Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Obedience. For more challenging cases, or if your schedule makes attending classes difficult, private lessons may be arranged. In addition, we offer two-week Board & Train services, where your dog will be trained, one-on-one with our trainer, while boarding at Best Friends. A basic Training Evalution of your dog, while boarding, may also be arranged. Download our brochure for this center's specific offerings.
