'I just wanted to thank you again for training Mouse. Actually, I think it was me that needed the training! I have been so pleased with the results of Mouse’s training. She is a whole new dog and my house is a lot quieter. I found I don’t have to raise my voice or yell in frustration anymore. I just give a few calm hand signals or voice commands and they truly listen. We are continuing to practice everything on a daily basis. Just wanted to let you know that the training was worth every cent! Thanks Again!'

'I’d like to take this opportunity to tell how pleased I was with the services provided by Best Paw Forward. I hired Best Paw Forward in the spring of 2000 to work with an older dog I’d just adopted. Their fee was reasonable, all appointments were kept in a timely fashion and best of all, my previously ill-behaved dog learned many commands. In addition to the training received by the dog, I was taught ow to reinforce all lessons on my own. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Best Paw Forward.'
