About “Best Friend” Companion Dog Training

"Best Friend" Companion Dog Training works out of a building on Vandenbroek Road in Little Chute, Wisconsin, and states its offer in a single line: it "offers private in home training as well as group training classes, from puppy pre-school and puppy and beginner basics through more advanced behavior training". The reason given is a practical one – "Having a well-trained and behaved dog will help make the time you spend together more enjoyable and safer for both you and your dog."

Where classes are held

The site is specific about the location, saying classes "are held just one block off 'OO' between Appleton and Little Chute at 1409 Vandenbroek Road, Little Chute", and publishes driving directions from Interstate 41 to 441, describing the building as "the blue building on the left-hand side of the road". Hours are listed as Monday to Saturday by appointment only, with Sunday closed.

Recognition and the team

The home page announces that the business has been "awarded 'Best of the Valley' in the Community Choice Awards Pet Training category, for the second year running", and the thank-you note beneath it is signed "Silvia, Kayla, Bronte, Tate and Liz". A separate section of student notes refers throughout to an instructor named Silvia; the published testimonials describe work with a "sensitive and cautious dog", a dog that was "extremely excited around dogs in the beginning of the training", and a "very anxious and scared dog", and one of them praises "limited class sizes".
