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!

Elliott has been an incredible trainer for our dog, Bosa. From the very beginning, he focused on helping us understand Bosa, not just “correct” him. He taught us how to properly walk Bosa without pulling, and the difference has been night and day. Walks are no longer stressful. They’re structured, calm, and actually enjoyable. If you have a strong, working-breed dog and want someone who truly understands drive, structure, and balanced training, I highly recommend Elliott.

Elliot has been awesome with our dog, Bosa. From the first session, you could tell he really knows what he’s doing. He took the time to get to know Bosa and figure out what would actually work for him instead of just running through some basic program. We’ve seen a huge difference in a short amount of time, and it’s made everyday life so much easier. Bosa is happier, more focused, and you can tell he enjoys the work. We’re definitely sticking with Elliot and would recommend him to anyone who wants real results.

Elliot Has sent the Last two years helping my Daughter and I train her Service Dog for mobility and assistance. With his guidance our Great Dane has been taught to aid her walking, getting her up if she falls and to stay by here keeping her warm and safe if she is having trouble getting up. Also trained to assist by pulling a wheeled walker making it possible to enjoy a extended visit to a Mall, Park, Zoo or a fair. Elliot has done a outstanding job guiding us through training of her dog. The joy of a well trained dog is beyond words. The pride you can have in a dog that sits in a restaurant for an hour while you enjoy a meal is amazing. Having the dog aid in pulling a wheeled walk both as a walker and even with her seated in for hours while she enjoys a shopping, Zoo or the Fair is a life changing event for a person that has Cerebral Palsy and a lack of mobility.

Elliott is a superb trainer. I had two dogs that had issues with dominance and would fight. My (Bella)Rottweiler/Black Lab mix did not like her older sister {Nelly} a pitbull to be in charge. Elliott came to my rescue and helped defuse the competition issue. He then took on the training of Bella to be a service dog for me. Bella is almost 3 so service dog is the best training she can do. Bella now obeys commands and leaves off confrontations with her older sister{Nelly age 8}. She can walk in the stores and around the neighborhood with a leash and does not become aggressive with dogs barking and lunging at their fences at her. Elliott only had less than 9months once a week to bring Bella to the point where she greets people into the home without scaring them. Thank you Elliott Karen Laughon

It was hard for me finding a service dog trainer. I got denied by bunch off service dog organizations because I wasn't in wheel chair or blind. Elliot was only person that could train my dog to be mobility and balance dog. He's awesome trainer. He can train your dog from basic training, aggressive problems, service dog training for different disabilities, K9 work. He's an all around trainer. He's nice and straightforward. He will train my next service dog. He is worth the money.
