Bruce Afkami

Dog Trainer

Hello:

I am Bruce Afkami the founder of Pet’s Friend Forever. My calling is to help individuals and families share happier lives with their dogs, by coaching them and training their dogs to understand each other’s verbal, nonverbal and body language. I use Positive Reinforcement R+ and am experienced in all the other training options available and respect my client’s preferences.

My partner in crime (Training Assistant) is my own dog, Joey who is a West Highland Terrier and the expression, “Terrier, Terrorist” is a very apt description of him. Westies are known for being smart, self-confident, very funny and definitely stubborn. He was a challenge to train, which made seeing his progress even more satisfying. He has become very helpful in demonstrating how to train your dog on specific commands and with providing opportunities for socialization for dogs who need it. He gets paid in toys, affection and healthy treats.
Joey and I want to be your PFF!

Reviews

Bruce has been the trainer/walker for our two dogs, Otis and Ecco for 5 months. Ecco is an Australian Shepherd and Otis is a Chihuahua mix. Ecco is very challenging out in the community with other dogs. With the help of Bruce she is now able to relax and not pull the leash. She now sits automatically when we stop walking. She is now able to play with other dogs at the dog park without anxious behavior. We highly recommend Bruce for your pet training. Our dogs really connect with him and look forward to his visits.
