Your Dog's Best Friend - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We reached out to Your Dog's Best Friend to get some help handling our huge Rottweiler/Mastiff rescue, Penny. She was too enthusiastic when greeting guests and pulling and being unpredictable with other dogs on walks. Freddie was quick to respond and very professional. He spent some time talking to us on the phone, and we scheduled a time to meet at our house. After just two sessions with Freddie, we have a new relationship with our dog! Freddie explained to us what was happening in Penny's mind and showed us exactly what we needed to do differently to communicate better with her. We refer to Freddie as The Dog Whisperer, but really we needed the "training" to see Penny's point of view and help her. Freddie is amazing. Thanks to him, we are all happier and less stressed. We highly recommend Freddie and Your Dog's Best Friend!

Where do I start! Freddie is an amazing dog trainer. But I feel “trainer” isn’t the right word. He is dog translator!

We adopted our beagle, Wally, at 10 months old, and let me tell you the first few weeks were incredibly stressful. Long story short, Freddie showed us that Wally felt the same. He was as equally stressed as we were. Which was the cause of most of his “behavior issues.”

It turned out, it wasn’t Wally. It was us. Freddie is so good at translating dog language to human language. He showed us that Wally was acting out in response to our emotions/actions. Freddie taught us to to be calm. I can’t emphasize the word “calm” enough. Freddie taught us that calm AND confidence, was the answer to Wally’s “behavior issues”.

Dog’s “behavior issues” = is a response to what us humans are exerting. The problem is us humans! Not your dog!

It has been over a year since Freddie last visited our house. Wally is now the heart of our family. Wally is the center of our family life every day! Freddie truly helped us to understand and learn how to communicate with Wally.

Thank you Freddie!

We're working through some behavioral issues with my furry friend. Scheduling an appointment was very easy. Our first appointment went extremely well, Adam was great with our dog and made us feel very comfortable. Looking forward to our next sessions!

We have loved the puppy classes here and recommend them to anyone! Neil has incredible knowledge about all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. We've learned so much from him and how to raise our puppy successfully. This is exactly what we were looking for!

Peace of mind! After working with our trainer, Freddie, not only has our 7-month old puppy's behavior improved, but we are feeling SO much better as pet parents. Having only had our dog for a few weeks, we were in over our heads - Googling, reading, desperate to find somewhere (or someone) to just tell us what to do. Enter Freddie! Freddie gave us real life, real-time practical strategies that we could immediately put into practice. He made it simple, but still explained the "why" (which made us feel even more confident). Thank you, to a true "Dog's Best Friend".

Freddie helped our new dog interact in a positive way with our cat, and he taught us valuable skills that helped us understand the dog's perspective. With only 2 in-home sessions, we learned many strategies that help us work more effectively with our dog.

We've been to many of their classes over the years because we foster dogs.
They do a great job of helping us understand what the dogs are thinking and how to communicate with the dogs in a way they understand.
They have been instrumental in us getting some challenging dogs ready foe their furever homes.

Working with Freddie was a transformative experience, not only for our dog but also for us as owners/partners in crime. We learned about our pup's behavior and how to support his growth while maintaining a healthy developmental environment. Freddie was thoughtful, and caring and showed immense passion when working with us. We will take his learnings and continue to strive for better outcomes. We cannot recommend Freddie and Your Dog's Best Friend enough!
