Private Training
Private training sessions can be held at our facility or in your home.
Coaching sessions are when we teach you to train your dog.

Tell us your priorities; we will work with you to achieve your goals.

Professional, Positive Training for You and Your Dog
Paws to Train voucher use
Paws to Train vouchers are given to adopters of dogs as part of a joint program between the Iowa City Animal Care & Adoption Center and Friends of the Animal Center Foundation.
This program was created to provide a great way for a newly adopted dog to bond with and build trust in their new family. Adopted dogs that get off to a good start in a training program using positive reinforcement are more likely to stay adopted and live long, healthy & happy lives.
As part of this program, Best Friends Dog Academy offers a discount on the class fee, and Friends of the Animal Center Foundation generously donates funds to cover a portion of the cost. The adopter pays only $20 for a 4 week group class or for 1 private training session.
Adopters wanting to bring their dog to class or set up a private training session should email us at
