I've known Karen of MBFO for over 15 years and have worked with all my dogs using her training methods with her guidance: Her connection with dogs is uncanny and she's very good at training owner's how to understand what their dog is thinking. She taught me how to teach my then 100+ lb rottweiler/retriever mix good manners and how to handle his digging issues. I currently have a 7 month old Anatolian/German Shepherd mix, she's stubborn but using the methods I've learned from Karen over all these years, my Amai puppy is growing into a well mannered young lady. I would recommend Karen and My Best Friend Obedience to anyone living in the Los Angeles area.
