Great Dog Training References

 

Our classes are popular and are highly recommended by several veterinarians.  We draw students not only from Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre,  Milton and Pace, but also from Mobile, Lillian and Atmore Alabama.  We have many repeat students of which we are very proud!

 

The Evaluations are in from our September/October classes with great feedback!  We received Excellent ratings across the board, some very nice comments and recommendations to others!   Thank you!!

August 2011            I first met Rebecca Watford a year, ago.  I enrolled my Aussie in her CGC class and liked it so much, I didn’t want it to end.  So, upon receiving the certificate, I signed up for her Obedience Level II Class, and then her Novice Rally Class.  I am currently learning Intermediate Level Rally.  Rebecca is very knowledgeable, and her classes are relaxed, interesting, and fun. Her students, both canine and human, constantly learn new things which apply not only in the show ring, but in everyday situations.  I highly recommend Rebecca’s classes whether you have a dog that has a particular problem you want to correct, you want to show, or just want to spend time with your dog learning new things.  Rebecca’s a great teacher and friend.”                        Charlsa Guinn & Jude     

May 2011               I was looking for a trainer for my dog Badger as he was a shy Blue Heeler and needed socialization.  I was worried about having Badger in a class with many people and dogs but Rebecca was very good with him.  She showed everyone in class how to take it slow with him.  Her calm personality put both me and Badger at ease so we both could learn and enjoy the classes.  We have now signed up for her Advanced Obedience Class and will start her Rally Obedience Class hoping to compete in the future.  None of this would have been possible without Rebecca's knowledge and patience.  Badger has learned so much and absolutely loves going to class.  You can't go wrong with Best Paw Forward!”

August 2010          “I look back now, almost 2 years ago, to when I brought you (Rebecca) over to help me rehab him.  River is such a joy to our lives because he now knows how to behave and what our expectations are.  He is not “just a dog”.  He is a well behaved member of our family.  I think you for your patience, guidance and knowledge to teach us (the humans). 

Sonia McCrory, with River

“We realize that the small investment we made in hiring a professional to teach you how to deal with your dog has really paid off.  Our puppy, Lily, is now 8mos old and is so well behaved that people cannot believe she is still a puppy.  Rebecca came to our house weekly and gave us simple training methods to help us with Lily.  Lily comes to us when called, sits when told and doesn’t run out an open door until told to do so. These may seem like small things, but we realize how important they are to keep our puppy safe. The private lessons worked well for us since we are both working professionals and have hectic schedules.”

“A well-trained dog can eliminate the frustration which sometimes results in thousands of dollars in property damage.  A dog with an obedience education is safer and much easier to work on.  Rebecca’s own personal dogs are a joy to work on.  They are very well trained, friendly, and entertain the veterinary staff with their tricks.”

She has a high energy level which is very contagious and is a natural teacher.  We have found her to be very dog savvy and an excellent communicator…

“Rebecca helped me gain the knowledge, respect, understanding and the confidence I needed to be able to train my dog.  She is able to maintain professionalism in her classes while making it fun and focused.”

“I first met Rebecca Watford when she was giving a train the trainer seminar for the local dog club.  From that very day, I knew Rebecca was a special trainer.  Her technique is not unique but her solutions are.  Rebecca is truly talented at teaching the dog AND the person all levels of dog obedience.  I often call her for advice.”

Carol Miller, Dog Obedience Instructor

 

As a fellow competitor, I've enjoyed watching Rebecca and her happy, eager to work dogs in agility and obedience for some years now. As a trainer, Rebecca brings fresh enthusiasm, new ideas, and solid, well researched principles to her field. Whether your new puppy needs to be housebroken, or your older dog needs better manners, Rebecca can help improve skills, and brighten the human canine bond.”
