I’m so thankful for Brian! I took both my German shorthairs to him and I literally cannot recommend Brian enough. He is so caring and passionate about dog training. I never trust anyone with my dogs and I trusted him. My dogs are now obsessed with him. I honestly thought my dogs were just misbehaved and no chance of being good. Well they did a whole 180, I can now trust them to not run away and listen to me. Brian is so gentle with them and explains everything and trained me as well! My one dog is a rescue who was severely beat and Brian took the time to make sure he was safe and felt comfortable. I could go on and on about how amazing he is and how he helped me and my dogs. I feel so much more confident with them. I would take every dog ever to Brian. My dogs are going to miss working with him.

We took our Mastiff Thor 5 years old and 125 lbs for some retraining. He was anxious about sudden noises, couldn't really walk without fear of him bolting and pulling us down, bark constantly at the neighbors dog.
Had a fear of down stairs. He knew his commands but didn't always want to listen.
He is changed dog. Brian and Mirah worked with him for two weeks and with follow up visits to our home and outing at a park we are very pleased. Highly recommend if your beloved fur baby is having issues. We enjoy Thor so much more now ! 😀

Our rescue Tigger was a lovebug with us but did not like other people coming to our house. Family members were afraid of him. He just returned from his board and train and we had our 1st lesson. I feel confident we can get to a place where he and visitors are comfortable. Brian is very knowledgeable about dog psychology.

Brian has been incredible with my English mastiff! He's caring and attentive to the needs of the dogs he trains. He makes it fun and makes it a healthy safe environment for the sog to succeed. I'm so grateful that he helped with our dog. He's given me the tools and the confidence to handle our big puppy. Thank you so much Brian!!!
