Dog Obedience Training | Dog Board & Train in Massachusetts (MA)

Professional Dog Training in Massachusetts

Best Buddy Dog Training offers personalized, professional dog training in Massachusetts. We specialize in dog obedience training in Massachusetts—on and off-leash—without using clickers, treats, prong collars, or e-collars.

Our in-home dog training in Massachusetts program is designed to conveniently help you develop a loving, affectionate, and cooperative relationship with your dog. The dog board and train program is tailored for dogs with more intense training needs or deeply entrenched behaviors. Our training methods focus on getting your dog to be obedient for the right reasons: establishing a working bond between you and your dog.

There are lots of dog trainers in MA, but what makes Best Buddy Dog Training different is our focus on the human and the role they play in shaping their dog's behavior and attitude. While most dog trainers in Massachusetts focus almost exclusively on commands such as “sit,” we emphasize proper communication, attitude, trust, and affection.

We teach your dog to perform a handful of actions that serve as powerful behavior modifiers. These techniques affect your dog's psychology in profound ways that are immediately apparent. Commands like “follow,” where the dog walks 3 to 6 feet behind you; “go on,” where the dog moves 6 to 10 feet away and disengages; and “down/stay,” where the dog lies down and stays for 30 minutes to an hour. For many people, just these three things will change their lives for the better.

But we don’t stop there. We guide you to develop trust and respect so that your dog will defer to your decisions no matter what — even off-leash with lots of distractions around. Leadership is the only thing we know of that is more powerful than instinct.

Often, clients call us after spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on dog training classes in Massachusetts but still struggle with issues like jumping, running away, chasing other animals, and being generally unruly. In many cases, the dog knows commands but will not obey when there is something interesting or exciting around (like visitors, other dogs, traffic, etc.). You see, it’s not what your dog knows that’s important; what's truly important is who you are to your dog. You don’t need to teach your dog everything—only to be obedient.

We are among the best dog trainers in Massachusetts and specialize in aggressive dog training in Massachusetts. Some clients have spent thousands on a dog behaviorist, only to be told to medicate their dog with Prozac or some other mood-altering drug. We believe that's not fair to the dog. Instead of spending your money on a dog behaviorist or altering your dog's brain with drugs, you should hire us to help you train your dog the right way.

Dog Board and Train Massachusetts

With some dogs the behavioral problems have persisted and developed so that the best option is to send the dog away for boot camp. Our boot camp board and train program is unique because your dog will live with and work around our pack of (well-trained, well-behaved) dogs as well as living among and working around other animals. Instead of a kennel environment, your dog will be living in our trainer’s home and learning throughout the day instead of limited half-hour session once or twice per day. If you're looking for a dog trainer in Massachusetts for dog board and train (Boot Camp), Best Buddy Dog Training is the best choice.

We provide dog training services throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island.
