Better Best Friends

I’ll be the first to admit that my dog was basically crazy before Joyce came along. He was a source of tension in the family and was about a day away from the pound until Joyce came along.
In a matter of an hour Joyce was able to show us some easy to use techniques to get our dog to behave. She is seriously like Caesar Milan (the dog whisperer). She has come back to our house about 4 more times since and has continued to help us work with him.
Along with being an amazing dog trainer, I think the best thing about Joyce is that she adapts her training techniques to what works best for your family. We’ve worked with other trainers before and they all seemed to be set in one way of doing things. Joyce showed us a lot of techniques that worked instantly and with our lifestyle.
Our dog is now amazing. He is great on the leash, he is chill around the house, and best of all he is amazing with my 8 month old daughter.

I cannot say enough good things about Joyce & Better Best Friends Dog Training. I moved in with my boyfriend & his chocolate lab about 4 months ago and was up to my ears with discipline problems dealing with the dog. He’s a very sweet pup, but at 85 lbs *and un-​neutered* he had a lot of excess energy and since I work from home, it was a lot. My pups size alone made walking him a real challenge, I could barely get him the 20 feet to our yard for him to go out, let alone walk around the block. He was so strong and pulled so much it was honestly kind of scary walking outside with him.
Then we called Joyce at Better Best Friends. She seriously has turned my pup into my best friend! We’ve met about 5 times and each time she gives us incredibly helpful lessons on basic behaviour, rewarding, and homework that we can work on during the week together before we meet again. In just one short week I was not only walking with my pooch, but we were going on runs together! He’s gotten so much better around the house and I just love having him around. Without Joyce my house would have continued to be a source of tension & stress until our dog was able to calm down, but now its really our home, puppy included.
I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for training– she does very basic to highly advanced and really has taught us a lot. Her methods are easy to adapt to and she really provides you with the help you need in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming. She comes with a complete stamp of approval from me, my boyfriend, and our much improved pup!
