Brian was amazing to work with. Tucker is a completely different dog from where we started. Thank you so much. Would definitely work with him again.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog trainer for my 3 year old pit bull mix, Winston. Before training he was out of control, wouldn’t listen to me, couldn’t take him on walks without him dragging me down the road or trying to get to every animal walking around him.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog trainer for my 3 year old pit bull mix, Winston. Before training he was out of control, wouldn’t listen to me, couldn’t take him on walks without him dragging me down the road or trying to get to every animal walking around him. After 2 long weeks without my boy, he came back an incredible different and AMAZING dog. I can now take him on walks and feel comfortable and confident in him, he listens to me, and overall I have gained so much confidence in him. The stress I used to have is now gone. 10/10 recommend Genius Dogs. You will not regret it!!
Brian does amazing! Not only did our dog walk at a heel in less than 3 sessions, but Brian gave us helpful suggestions on what to do to improve our dogs house manners.
Brian trained my doggo, Moose, a little over a year ago.

Brian trained my doggo, Moose, a little over a year ago. When we adopted Moose he had ZERO manners and I was convinced we were never going to be able to take him out of the house or get him under control… until Brian came along! Brian came to our house, interacted with Moose, and sat down with us to go over our options and answer all of our questions! From the moment we met Brian, my fiancé and I knew he was the right trainer for us and Moose! He is very knowledgeable and laid back, which instantly put us all at ease, including Moose who instantly laid right beside Brian the whole time we talked! When we sent Moose off for his two week board and train, I never worried about Moose, I knew he was in great hands, and Moose ended up absolutely loving Brian and his kiddos! Brian sent us daily picture/video updates and we instantly saw huge progress! By the end of the two weeks, Moose was a completely different dog! We were absolutely blown away at the progress in such a short time! When he returned moose to us, he did two personal lessons with us and he was always extremely patient with us while we were learning our new way of life with Moose! He made the whole process a breeze! Still to this day, I know that Brian is always one call/text away if any concerns with Moose arise! I could not recommend genius dogs enough!!! I am so thankful for Brian and genius dogs for giving Moose his freedom to go out and explore the world around him and for giving us the confidence and knowledge to let him calmly and safely do so!
