“I continue to refer any and everyone I can here because I fully believe I would not have the dog (or life) I do today without the is amazing and dedicated team!! Thank you, BFTD.”


“I have seen a huge improvement in (my dog’s) self-control, and he now happily disengages from passing dogs and is more attentive. Great community, amazing support from trainers, and we reap the rewards!”
