About Canine Training Services

My name is Doctor Elliott Briggs. I started this home-based company to do training right. I offer a wide range of dog training services including basic obedience, service dog training, canine rehabilitation (working with aggressive, fearful, or other unwanted behaviors) Before working with dogs I practiced clinical psychology and applied behavior analysis. Later on I adapted the behavior sciences I had learned to dog training. This has given me a strong understanding of both canine and human behavior. I love dogs and it is my goal to provide affordable and highly effective dog training. Whether you need your furry little buddy to support you, protect you, or just behave better. I can make it happen!

I cannot say enough good things about Elliot and what he has done for our dog. We have a 5 year old Coonhound who became highly reactive to other dogs after she was attacked at a dog park. For years we struggled through walks and any other scenarios where there were other dogs. I finally reached out to Elliot and his response was quick and professional. His honest, no nonsense approach to training changed our lives. With the tools he gave us, walks are now a breeze, and I feel so much more confident with her. We also worked on basic training and recall, and it’s been amazing to see how she has changed. It’s not just when out in public, she is now much more relaxed and happy, even at home. She used to melt down when other dogs would walk past the house. Within a few weeks, she stopped that completely! We are endlessly grateful for Elliot. If you are on the fence, just give him a call. It will be the best money you spend this year, hands down!

We trained with Elliot for about 6 months and in that time our dogs went from aggressive and territorial to being regular dogs! We worked on a lot of obedience training as well and our dogs are different animals now. Totally recommend!

Elliott did a great job with helping me to understand my Pug Ruby. I was the one who really needed the training. I’m only a few sessions he was able to make a crazy pug into a well behaved little girl. Highly recommend Elliott!

We adopted our pit mix from a rescue in September ‘21. After a few months she became aggressive towards our oldest son. I was terrified that we’d have to find someone else to take her in or worse have her put down. I get irrational a bit 😅. I feel so lucky that I found Elliott. …Read full reviewClose full review

We adopted our pit mix from a rescue in September ‘21. After a few months she became aggressive towards our oldest son. I was terrified that we’d have to find someone else to take her in or worse have her put down. I get irrational a bit 😅. I feel so lucky that I found Elliott. He immediately shut down the thought that I’d have to give her up. We now know that she is just a sensitive girl that needs a whole lot of reassuring love and attention. He even helped me feel confident with my 4 year old rottie. I now have the confidence to take both dogs out in public and know that they will be safe. If you are needing help with an aggressive dog please trust Elliott and his techniques. The fact that I’m able to cuddle this sweet girl everyday proves his abilities.

When my partner and I adopted Nala we were completely at a loss for how to handle her. Walks were terrifying as any sign of another dog would send her into a complete frenzy. We could only safely walk her at night when we wouldn’t run into anyone. Elliot completely changed Nala’s life, giving her the chance to explore the outdoors, meet new people and dogs, and be relaxed and happy. His one-on-one sessions are an invaluable opportunity to strengthen your bond with your dog, build your confidence, and learn how to be a leader they feel confident following. Today, we went to the park, Starbucks, and Home Depot without an issue. Thank you Elliott!
