Extra weeks added free for serious emergency situations. On your registration form, list any class dates you will miss on the same line with your chosen orientation date to get extra weeks of class. You also get credit for serious emergency dates later (talk to us about work, family situations or if you win a cruise, for special exceptions).
Of course you also get additional weeks if your instructor attends a dog event or must handle an emergency.
TRAINING FAST TRACK for experienced or dedicated handlers, highly motivated families
Friendly experienced dogs with good recall skills around other loose dogs, especially with experienced handlers with titles on this or previous dogs, may start in advanced obedience classes with the approval of your instructor.
Discounts for experienced handlers with titles on current or previous dogs. Those advanced levels are not for behavior issues, and dogs must be working with some recall skills around other loose dogs.
If you have time for extra practice & studying your materials, are familiar with positive methods because you practiced them on your previous dogs, or if you are an experienced trainer you may start a 4-week Manners Plus intermediate level after 6 weeks of PuppyLove or Basic Manners (no additional cost) , or can skip right to competition levels with advance approval of instructor.
If you still need Manners Plus that means we have some cool things to share with you in your beginner levels, so it is only available to dogs with experience in our programs. Private sessions or an abbreviated beginner session are available for friendly dogs with experienced handlers.
PLAY TIMES for approved dogs from current & previous Best Paw Forward Inc. classes

Social issues?
Detour Doggie Delinquents is our specialized gentle program for dogs that are very nervous or shy, protective, territorial, dominant, possessive or aggressive. Dogs with these issues must start in that program with at least one private session - talk to us before signing up for a session to ensure that you and your dog get the help you need right away.
