Growl class

Detour Doggie Delinquents obedience & behavior series for excessively nervous, shy, territorial, possessive, dominant, bossy or aggressive dogs. 6:30 p.m. Thursdays June 7, 14, 28; July 12. 



"We've used a few different trainers for our dogs over the years and PJ and Best Paw is the best. She uses a logical approach that follows the dog's needs and instincts. Our dog, Morty, has socialization problems, but we've come so far with BPF! He's a happier, healthier dog, which makes us happier people."

"I trained my Lab with Best Paw in 2002, and she was the best behaved companion ever.  Now I have a Lab mix that I have been training at Best Paw in Osteen since early 2015.  I had planned to take the puppy  classes, but Maggie and I enjoyed the classes so much that she now has her Star Puppy award, Canine Good Citizen, and now we are training in Agility.  PJ is always supportive, patient, and encouraging.  Training has changed a lot since I initially started dog training, but the transition to positive clicker reinforcement has been more comfortable for me because of PJ.  I would and have recommended Best Paw to everyone who has a dog or puppy."

Karen Burmeister

"PJ has a deeper and more complete understanding of dog behavior than any other trainer I've known.  When you couple that with her dedication to teaching, you are in for an unparalleled learning experience.  Listen carefully and take notes, because PJ gives you more content than you can possibly remember.  I drive 3 hours each way to train with her and will continue to do so."
