"Best Friend" Companion Dog Training

Silvia is absolutely incredible!! She helped us work with our very anxious and scared dog to build trust and learn lots of new skills. Her techniques are effective and our dog responded so well to them. From the very first interactions with Silvia she was prompt and professional. It's clear she cares deeply about her work and wants to see us succeed. I highly recommend Silvia!!

We did 3 sessions with Silvia for our high anxiety and reactive dog. We finished our last session today and it has been a night and day difference!! Learning tools for training not only for our dog but ourselves as well. HIGHLY recommend her if you have a nervous puppy like ours. She is so patient and non judgmental. We will definitely be back for any training we need in the future. Thank you!!

I have completed two sessions with Silvia (12 total classes), with her puppy class and the next level, Beyond the Basics. We were also lucky enough to have Silvia do a home visit to combat some resource guarding. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and makes the effort to get to know every single dog. She is patient and loving. I had adopted a rescue tripod in October pretty impulsively and was struggling with my decision, and she was able to get me into the next session of puppy class, no issues. My dog absolutely loves her, and attending her classes has been a great bonding experience for us. He is still a rambunctious little guy (only 1.5), but his skill foundation is much stronger and these classes have shown me how smart he is. I look forward to continue to reinforce what we have learn

Had such a good time at the beginner class for our puppy. Will be returning for more training!

When you first get a puppy it will only ever be one once. If you are looking for someone with a dedication only surpassed by her knowledge of proper training then Silvia is above and beyond the person to go to. I noticed I had a good amount of choices and browsed a few competitors, from other trainers to the big box store programs and if faced with the decision again I would go back in a heartbeat. Each week everything is lain out on a foundation building from the previous week. This leads up to a six week course in total with beyond great results achieved at the end. I will be continuing to the level two classes and will always recommend her to anyone looking at all for a beyond professional trainer.
