Testimonials
It is my pleasure to recommend Frank Verni as an excellent dog trainer. I have referred patients to Frank and Lori for over five years and have gotten excellent feedback from my clients.
Their training methods are gentle and effective and the results have been consistently excellent. 
Best Paw Forward Dog Edu. is my first choice for my clients who need canine training of any kind. Frank has helped many of my clients with everything from crate training to aggressiveness. All of my clients have spoken highly of his abilities and care. His years of experience has been an asset for my practice and I would highly recommend him.
I went through training with my dog, Chloe, in the fall of last year. I was trying to get Chloe ready for the arrival of our new baby. I just had to thank you again for helping us. I gave birth January 19th of this year to our son, Aiden. Chloe is a great big sister and she is really attentive to him. She is very well-behaved and gentle with him. Thank you so much!

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 just wanted to thank you for what you have done for me and Rupert. You provided me with so many little tips and insight as to how dogs think and “flipped a switch” in Rupert’s brain. He is so much more enjoyable to be around and I know that things will only continue to get better.
I have attended several group classes and Best Paw Forward’s was my favorite. I am proud that my Shepherd earned his AKC CGC certification under their name. Lori and Frank are effective, professional, and devoted.

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.
