Dog Obedience & Puppy Training Best Buddy Dog Trainer - Leonardtown, MD
Best Buddy Dog Trainer is a dog training company based in Southern Maryland that strives to:
- Educate new and advanced dog owners about dog behavior, dog training, and safety precautions in the home and in public.
- Empower dogs and dog owners through strengthening communication and bonds through setting a routine of obedience training, loose leash walking, behavior modification, proper nutrition and proper mental/physical stimulation.
Since 2015 we've taught dog owners how to train their dog without the use of food luring, or applying prong, shock, choke chains or martingale collars.
In our courses we show owners a different & 100% force-free positive approach to dog training that doesn't involve having your dog follow food into positions, pain, force, or intimidation tactics.
Our Certified Trainers teach you exactly what you need in class to fix your dog problems instead of a fixed agenda. Along with training plans and videos we provide support via text, call or email outside of your classes.
