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.

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.
