Training for every age and stage

We offer a wide range of classes for puppies, teenagers and adult dogs.

Basic training

Teach your pup of any age the fundamentals of dog life. They’ll learn essential commands like sit, down, come, stay and “leave it,” plus proper walking-on-leash etiquette.

Advanced training

Take your dog’s skills to the next level with trick training and agility courses. We can also help break persistent bad habits.

We make learning fun

Our experienced instructors use positive reinforcement to help your pet master new skills. We can teach your pup in different settings with 1:1 instruction, group classes or through our Board & Train program.

1-on-1

Get distraction-free training in a private setting with one of our amazing instructors.

Group classes

Put your dog in a class that’s social yet small, where they’ll get the attention they deserve.

Board & Train

Make your pup’s boarding experience an educational getaway. Your pet will enjoy 1-on-1 training during their stay and go home with tons of new skills to show off.

I could not have been happier with the training Sam received! I would refer anyone to Best Friends and Amanda.

After this obedience class, Michelle Longo helped train me/my puppy and now Karma is a totally different dog for the better.

Luis A. Colon
As usual, very welcoming and friendly. I love how my dogs run to the back with the staff without looking back.

We LOVE Best Friends!! They treat our two dogs so well and they are a handful, one is a Giant Schnauzer and the other is a St. Bernard/Pointer Mix and they love to keep you busy.
