Introduction
I have been working with dogs and their humans for over 30 years. I essentially "teach dogs and train people". - Basic obedience, puppy kindergarten and dog "problems". - This is not rocket science...(but it 'is' another language) ...and that's where I come in! Because of my experience, I can deal with any and every thing you need help with, when it comes to your pooch. I have literally "seen it all"! - I help couples, individuals and families with kids, as well as the elderly. - I never met a dog I didn't love since about 1960, when I was 5.

Gregg Flowers with Dog’s Best Friend is a gem and highly experienced and qualified dog trainer who comes to the house. We recently got a puppy and knew we needed help integrating an alpha female puppy with our very passive 4 1/2 yo male dog. Both being mini longhaired Dachshunds. We felt totally unprepared and overwhelmed until Gregg came. We didn’t have to wait but a few days and didn’t have to sign up for a long extensive series. Greg doesn’t use gimmicks or treats, but firm yet caring techniques to help evaluate exactly what is needed to improve the problem areas. He teaches the dog owners how to effectively do the same. He’s also available by phone or text and is a valuable resource. We saw a shift in the energy in the house very quickly and can’t thank him enough for all his help. These are not our first dogs, but never had such a challenging puppy like Sophie. We now with just a couple of lessons have relaxed, obedient dogs living together. I know it will just keep getting even better as she matures. So glad I hired Gregg when she was just 3 months rather than waiting. I highly recommend Gregg Flowers to anyone experiencing any kind of problems with their dogs.

We recently adopted a 1 year old male Frenchie from a rescue shelter. We got a few quotes from other dog trainers who wanted to sell us extensive (and expensive) training packages upfront before they even met our dog to assess his needs, but Gregg only charged for an initial in-home visit/consultation where he gave us tools we could use to start working with our dog on our own. Then we can book future training sessions to focus on the things we need more help with. Our new dog was displaying some aggression through resource guarding. Gregg was patient, yet firm. He gave us commands and the steps to take so that we were able to implement positive improvement right away. If you are looking for a trainer I highly recommend Dog's Best Friend!

Came in and got straight to the point my dog was instantly calm with gregg’s presence and listened. Gregg showed us what to do in certain situations and how we should go about with certain behaviors and even taught my dog to walk on a leash and much more hope to see you again gregg!

Gregg gave us the best advise in 2 hours! Taught us the basic rules to educate our 10 month mini golden doodle and we cannot thank him more. He came right on time. Explained what we needed to do, gave us basic instructions without overcomplicating things. Fast forward 4 days, I've been walking my dog at ease, with him on my side, no jumping nor pulling. Thank you!! Highly recommended. He takes care of his clients - he even followed up during the week and is available in case we have questions.
