There Is A Better Alternative To The
Training Methods Out There

Rebecca started Dog's Best Friend in 2004 when she
became increasingly alarmed by the methods utilized by
many dog trainers in the South Bay, who use combinations
of physical domination, ‘corrections’,  yelling, choke,
prong or electronic shock collars, and alpha rolls.  

While such force and fear based approaches might yield
some short term changes they are almost never long lasting,
and much more importantly, inflict physical and
emotional pain on the dogs.  

As a Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer, prospective
clients often come to her after trying such dominance and
fear based methods, only to discover they do not work, and
have served to undermine their dog’s spirit and confidence.
Worse yet, they have made any fear-based
aggression/anxiety issues much more severe.

As an active member of the dog rescue community she has
seen countless tragic examples of dogs who have been
abandoned to the local shelters after their aggression
issues have significantly increased from such fear
and force based training
.

Rebecca evaluates and trains rescued dogs
for the Golden Retriever Club of Greater
Los Angeles and Rover Rescue.


Positive Reinforcement Training

As a Positive Reinforcement Trainer, she will train you to
solve your dog’s behavior issues with modern, scientifically
proven – yet simple and fun tools guaranteed to work.  No
coercion, intimidation or pain will ever be used.  Positive
Reinforcement helps create calm, confident,
trusting and happy dogs.

She will help you build a stronger bond with your dog, so he
does what you ask of him because he wants to, not because
he’s scared of what will happen to him if he does not.

DBF offers Private In-Home Dog Training, as well as
Group Glasses through Hermosa Beach
Parks and Recreation.

There is an Indian legend which says:
"When a human dies there is a bridge
they must cross to enter into heaven.
At the head of that bridge waits every
animal that human encountered during
their lifetime. The animals, based
upon what they know of this person,
decide which humans may cross the
bridge...and which are turned away."
