Description:

Effective training for your canine companion is my specialty. With my methods, your dog will learn to behave instinctively, without relying on repetitive commands, incentives, punishments, or enticements. I take a comprehensive approach to problem-solving that dissects the underlying reasons for your dog's behavior issues, going beyond the basics of sit and stay.

As a licensed mediator for family dogs and a graduate of the Aggression in Dogs Master Course, I am well equipped to help your furry friend overcome any challenges they may be facing. I am also proud to co-host The Canine Complexity Podcast.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my unreliable CrackerJack notifications. If I am slow to respond, please don't hesitate to send me a text.

Brian's extensive knowledge about every dog breed is highly impressive. His guidance and advice on dog behavior have already greatly affected our beloved Nola. We eagerly anticipate our upcoming training sessions with Brian.

Working with Brian during my dog Brandy's training was a great experience. He possesses extensive knowledge about dogs, generously shared helpful information on understanding dog behavior, and offered a pleasant conversational atmosphere throughout the training sessions. I noticed a remarkable improvement in Brandy's behavior, and I highly recommend Brian to anyone seeking a dog trainer's services.

Our dog, who was once labeled "too smart" by a seasoned trainer, received valuable training from Brian. During this time, he enlightened us about our dog's breed and personality, which led to a better understanding of his actions and abilities. As a result, we can now better manage expectations and behaviors. Our dog was already good but under Brian's tutelage, he is now exceptionally well-behaved.

Brian, the trainer, is the perfect fit if you're looking for someone knowledgeable yet respectful and without a condescending attitude. He goes beyond demonstrating his mastery of dog behavior and effectively teaches you how to address it, providing psychological insights effortlessly understood. It is not uncommon for dog owners to overlook the influence of their own behavior in shaping their dogs' habits, but Brian's guidance has helped us unlearn unhelpful habits while teaching us productive ones. Even with three dogs presenting unique challenges, Brian's extensive knowledge and incredible patience have been remarkable. We are very grateful for his assistance and are lucky to have found such an awesome dog trainer. Thank you, Brian!
