Training Appointments and Dog Walks
At Dog's Best Friend, you and your dog(s) will be welcomed as members of the pack. Once we have all met and gotten to know each other, we will schedule your first training appointments or dog walks. Training is available Monday-Saturday, 10:00-4:00. Dog walks are available Monday-Friday, 10:00-4:00.
Before you schedule your first appointment, please make sure that your dog is healthy, up to date on all vaccines, and can safely socialize with others. If you, your dog(s), and/or your family will have any specific needs, please let me know beforehand so that we can make the appropriate adjustments.
​
If you will need to make a cancellation, please do so 24 hours before the scheduled appointment to avoid being charged, thank you. Our main service area concerning In-Person Dog Training and Dog Walking is Castro and Upper Market. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
​
Also, please be aware that during the COVID-19 pandemic I am asking everyone involved to please be aware of proper social distancing, face coverings, and appropriate sanitization. And please get yourself vaccinated and boosted if you are able to. Thank you.

During digital training sessions, we will work together for up to two (2) hours via Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or Skype to reach your training goals. Before you schedule your first session, please contact me for a New Client Intake.

We can do this via email, or over Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or Skype. Also, please note that our first training session may take a little longer than expected as we all get to know each other.

In-Person Dog Training Sessions
During in-person training sessions, Billie (or Frankie, if appropriate) and I will come to your home to work with you and your dog for up to two (2) hours.

Dog Walking Appointments
After Billie (and/or Frankie, if appropriate) and I meet with you and your dog on neutral ground (to avoid territorial aggression), we will come to your home or office to pick up your dog for a neighborhood walk. We can also take your dog to a local dog park if you would prefer. After each appointment, I can also send you a short visit report to tell you how things went.
