The Better Companion, LLC

I take my belgian malinois puppy to the Better Companion for training and to their Open play. Before taking my puppy there, I used to take my bear dog there. Their staff is amazing and do a lot of 1x1 training with us. I couldn't imagine a better place to take my dog.

Highly recommend Betco for a positive training experience. Owner Claudia and staff members all go above and beyond to help each student and their human learn. I have been using Betco for 12 years. Puppy, grade school, agility, nose work, and the latest is treiball. Fun way to learn how to communicate with your dog.

My newly adopted dog recently finished up the beginning Nosework class and we just attended the Shy Dog Workshop. Both were great experiences! I appreciate that the owner of this facility is very experienced and educated on modern, positive training techniques. Like any professional, she knows enough to continue her own education constantly, even though she has been working with dogs for over 20 years and was trained as a veterinarian. I did not want my dog subjected to any rough treatment in the name of "training" and I knew I could trust The Better Companion to help my dog, not hurt her. My dog is more confident and is able to have more fun in new environments now, thanks to the great classes at The Better Companion.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Currently enrolled in star puppy classes and has already proved very beneficial for our pup. We also partake in open play time on Fridays, and it's a fantastic way to let your dog socialize in a controlled environment. Highly recommend

The folks here are very patient with hard headed customers....and is even better at handling and working with the dogs ... Explains the how's AND why's as the class progresses, and the lessons move in a very systematic order, with each lesson building on previous ones. I'm sold. Signed up for Puppy II, and looking forward to learning more. Toby is a very well manner pup, if a bit overinthusiast...but manageable...now. Many thanks!!!

Really great dog training programs available for all ages and types of dogs. Knowledgeable staff. The open play is perfect for my small dog to meet other dogs and get all of his energy out.

Loved puppy 1 But wish puppy 2 was a lot better. Some of the classes times are just too late and the other too early to get off work. Just wish there was more time to do the puppy play times since I can't drive out to Wasilla twice a week
