 “Best dog trainer ever! OUR DOG had a ton of energy and after BOARDED TRAINING AT MAN’S BEST FRIEND she was a new dog. Our family now has the tools we need to be the best family for our pup!”

Many “dog families” have been ‘saved’ from the training, education and insight provided by Shannon Walker, the trainers and the staff at Man’s Best Friend.

the result: a balanced, respectful, obedient and HAPPY dog.

By allowing Shannon Walker and the staff at Man’s Best Friend, the time to train your dog in-house, they are able to build a solid foundation of obedience.

  • Jumping

  • Running away/ bolting

  • Barking

  • Digging

  • Mouthing, nipping and play biting

  • Getting in the trash/counter surfing

  • Destructive & Disrespecful behavior

  • Aggression, dog/human

  • Dog aggression on leash

  • Pulling on the leash

HOW OUR METHOD OF TRAINING WORKS

pack order and leadership

Everything we do is rooted in a pack order and leadership philosophy. A puppies’ mother ‘pack leader’ begins dog training and establishing boundaries from birth.

Adult dogs need these same boundaries and rules from their owners, THEIR pack leaders… YOU!

HERE COMMAND

We provide a formal “Here” command that will first allow you to SAFELY recall your dog in the instance your dog may escape out of your front door, your car or fence. You can take it a step further and allow your dog to be off leash and enjoy safe environments like running on the beach, in a park or the woods and more. Experience what almost every pet owner dreams of a reality.

DOWN COMMAND

We provide a formal “Down” command that is so much more than your dog simply having his belly on the floor. A formal down command is one of the most therapeutic, functional commands that allows your dog to be invited into every social gathering you may think of. The “down” command is a tremendous tool to use during family dinners, when family and or guests enters the home, children sporting events, any and all instances you would like your dog to be calm and controlled. It is literally an “off” button.

WALKING

Walk multiple dogs, with other dogs or distractions. A proper “Walk” is foundationally imperative for a balanced, enjoyable relationship with your dog. The “walk” is a leadership activity, a pack activity, a mental activity and a physical activity. A proper “walk” for the dog is a structured activity that has multiple benefits for the human/dog relationship. Your dog will ignore other people and dogs while following you at your own pace.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I HAVE A BRAND NEW DOG! Is what most people say after their dog returns home after the boarded training program.

    When comparing the boarded training program to private lessons, while both are very affective, the boarded training program is most popular.

    It is much easier to step in and learning how to maintain the obedience of an already professionally trained dog, than to have to establish the obedience on your dog yourself.

    THE DOG WILL ONLY BE AS GOOD AS ITS HANDLER

    The master trainers at Mans Best Friend collectively have over 50 years of experience helping your dog reach its greatest potential.

    The boarded training program is a structured 30 day program centered around pack order and leadership. Here at MBF we not only teach the formal commands of the “walk,” the “down” command and the “here” command, but it is completely transformative in the “balance” of your dogs entire mindset. Your dog will return home more calm, respectful in every way and the owners are given a complete “lifestyle” guide regarding how to use the obedience to create structure and discipline around all regular family activities.

    Private lessons are included at no extra charge for the life of the dog. We have had people come back for private lessons as much as 6 years after they had their dog trained. MBF boarded training program is an excellent “long term” recourse.

  • Once you have completed the boarded training program at Mans Best Friend, private lessons and phone consultations are always available at no extra charge for the life of the dog.

    Mans Best Friend encourages “continued education.” So often “life” happens and people need a refresher to get back on track and enjoy the benefits of an obedient and balanced dog.

    We have had clients return for a private lesson as much as 6 years after competing the boarded training program. The dogs never forget the obedience, and in as little as 1 hour they are right back on track!
