Catalina did a wonderful job training Blue and coaching me! I wanted my young puppy to learn key commands to keep her safe, and Cat tailored her training to our needs. She has given us a great foundation to make us successful on our lifelong journey. Blue and I highly recommend! 🐾

I can’t say enough about the entire operations and staff at Best Friends Fur Ever. Top notch, organized, caring professionals. We’ve done daycare, boarding, and training.

Special note about the Honors Training Program (spoiler, Catalina is a gifted trainer!): Real Results That Last!

Our dog has been through other training programs but never seen the results we’ve achieved working with Catalina. She has a well-curated, intensive program. It includes a variety of tools for the owners as well (e.g. videos, report cards, & in-person weekly sessions).

Do your research, for sure, but having done it ourselves and tried two other programs before this one, we can say with confidence that, for us, this was the answer. We’re hanging with our well-trained dog as I write this! So…..

Thank you Catalina and the entire BFFE Crew!!! Keep up the best-in-class work!!!

Our experience with BFFE saved and changed our lives and the life of our rescue puppy Sparrow. When we adopted her, she was so incredibly skittish, full of fear, and would either cower away or react with a bit of aggression at home. We were not new to dogs or even behavioral challenges, but we tried everything we knew and even other trainers and weren’t making any progress. We initially enrolled Sparrow in a 4 week program at BFFE, and within the first week we extended it further because even in that short time we were so impressed in the attention, care, expertise, and progress Sparrow was making. I am happy to say that today, she is a different dog and our entire family life is different. It wasn’t just about the training the team gave to Sparrow, but also their amazing ability and patience in teaching us what we needed to be successful. I truly felt heard and that the entire experience was customized to what we needed, our lifestyle, personalities, etc., not to mention who Sparrow is too. I can’t say enough about the training team there, who treated us like family. I want to especially thank Catalina, AJ, and Ashley for all their tireless support and what I know is an authentic love for what they do. The family experience has also extended beyond the training team. Sparrow is there regularly for daycare, and has even boarded overnight. Every member of the team knows her when she walks in the door and seems to have their own bond with her, and in every interaction I have I feel I am treated as a family member. I am extremely particular about who I would trust with caring for my animals, and this is one place where I can truly feel relief and safe. I don’t know where we’d be without them and truly recommend any and all services (and TRAINING) to anyone!
