About
Training dogs is a relatively easy accomplishment if you know the secrets. I share these secrets and educate my clients on how to communicate with their dogs to get the reactions they desire. Training and learning for a dog is a lifelong event and the tools I leave with my clients posture them to be successful in all future desired training. Training and obedience is actually a byproduct once you establish the proper "owner and dog" relationship. This is a simple philosophy which works wonders and so many dog owners are not aware of. My biggest pleasure is seeing a client grow closer to their dog once they have developed this relationship. I have a great passion for dogs and unfortunately many dogs end up in shelters because of problems that developed in which their owners don't know how to address. Whenever I can educate dog owners why a dog does the things he does and how to stop it, I am saving a wonderful creature from possibly being turned over to a shelter. I volunteer at a shelter and I see many, many great dogs there that if I had a chance to talk with the owners beforehand, may have ended up differently. Any time I can improve a relationship between an owner and their dog, I am ecstatic.

Brian was excellent! His experience, knowledge and confidence were reflected in his work. He even stopped by to introduce himself to us and our dog prior to training. That is incredible. He provides training through positive reinforcement. He supplied an extensive training program that honed in on our dogs specific problems. He not only trained our dog but us as well. I felt like Cesar Millan was in the house!! We continue to use the techniques he taught us. Jubilee's behavior and confidence has improved 100%. We will definitely hire him again and refer our family and friends. Money well spent.

Brian is absolutely wonderful. His training sessions were very thorough and he took the time to walk us through every step of the way. After just two sessions he taught us how to work with our dog moving forward, and we have already seen a big change in our year-old dog's behavior. I would recommend him over and over again!

Brian was /is a great trainer he was on time and explained everything to us in detail , gave us great instructions and tools to train our dog Misty. We got her from a shelter and she had a barking/nipping at strangers issue. Brian took control right away and even when he left she was a lot better. Actually Misty cried sitting at the door when Brian left after only meeting her once, we are scheduled for more sessions to make her life more enjoyable .If you need a great trainer call Brian ..you and your pet will be glad you did .....

We rescued a presa canario who is (unsurprisingly) quite stubborn. Training her in the house was no problem, but time on leash was another story. We knew we needed help with this aspect of training and Brian's experience with other dominant breeds was a good sign for us. We appreciated his calm demeanor, patience, and professionalism. I think our dog will always be "in training," but we already see some improvement in her and Brian gave clear guidance which we continue to implement. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
