Brian has been involved in the training of our golden doodle since we got him as a 10 week old puppy. He’s very personable and cares deeply about the success of us with our dog. He provided ongoing short training sessions across 6 months until our dog attended his two week training. He was willing to answer all our questions and was available between sessions for questions. After the 2 week training our dog was able to walk/run off leash, obey several commands, didn’t jump, and was shock collar trained. He then came to our home twice after to ensure we felt confident with commands and using the collar appropriately.we 100% recommend him.

I have been doing lessons with Brian to help my dog, Gru, become less reactive when out in public and when people come to our home. Already I am seeing a drastic change in him with just a couple of lessons. We are able to take him out in public without being fearful of how he will react and he genuinely seems to enjoy his outings much more while feeling less stressed. We can’t wait to see his progress in the coming months as we continue to work with Brian. My family and I highly recommend Genius Dogs to anyone seeking training for their dog.
Brian is incredible. Our dog Rosie is a rescue I found abandoned in the woods. She was malnourished and loaded with trauma when I found her. Compassionate and individualized care in our lessons and Rosie is a completely different dog. Thank you for everything! Call Genius Dogs for all of your dog training needs!
Brian is an excellent and patient trainer , he trained 2 of my dogs and I could not be halpier 😀🐾
