Specialty Dog Training

We love Braelyn. We sent our first puppy to her because I refused to be dragged around by a big dog and he came back to us impeccably behaved. And he adores her. Then my sister in law sent her pup to Braelyn boot camp, and we sent our housekeepers pup, who comes to our house everyday, and she is now beautifully behaved. Finally, our newest pup who Braelyn says is "sassy" came back to us extremely well trained. We have a house filled with dogs, but it is calm and manageable thanks to Braelyn. She makes it easy for the humans to follow the training instructions, which is really more than half the battle. And she is simply lovely to work with. Dedicated, competent, delightful. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

We came to Graham with a 2 year old Rottweiler Male who was starting to have some serious aggression issues. We brought our Atticus home at 12 weeks and he was a joy until he hit his teenage years and really wanted to control our family and lash out at visitors. He stayed with Graham for 6 weeks and the dog we brought back was night and day. He is obedient and respectful, he listens well and understands his role in our family. We cannot thank Graham enough for his time and dedication to working with our sweet Atticus. We missed him terribly while he was gone, but it was so worth it. I have since shared my experience with every dog owner I know. I highly recommend Graham and Specialty Dog Training, he will help you create a relationship with your dog that is mutually beneficial. Atticus is so much happier due to his time with Graham, thank you.

I have a Great Dane pup (Maximus) who was very timid. After dog camp with Graham, he's a new pup! His behavior & attention span was transformed. Graham implemented new commands such as "Leave it" & "Place" allowing me & my parents to have my HUGE dog inside their house all the while exhibiting excellent manners. My walks with Max are much more connected & are a wonderful bonding time instead of a constant struggle to get him to pay attention & stop tripping me! Thank you Graham for your passion for dogs & for training Max (& me!)

Graham is an amazing dog and human trainer. We've used Graham since 2008, when we rescued a 1 year old, very timid, challenging and troubled female lab/husky mix. When we first got her, she was so shut down, we couldn't even approach her and take her for walks without her anxiety overwhelming her. He spent 3 weeks with her in boot camp, and she came back to us able to be out in public, walking daily and was relatively behaved for 4 years. In 2012, we decided to rescue another pup, this time a 1 year old, male lab/shepherd mix. He came to us submissive, skinny and little shy. After 2 months of living together, the two dogs got into their first skirmish. Graham came to assist, and has been working with us on and off for the past year to get the two of them past their tension with each other. A huge obstacle is the pecular issues that our female lab/husky has with random things that cause her anxiety, stress and competition with our other dog. His patience teaching us the tools necessary to be a strong dog leader has been invaluable. We have seen the possibilities of our dogs living in peace together (they do great when they are with Graham and at boot camp), so his training and presence allows us hope that we can overcome their challenges. He has been a diligent teacher with his training of us, to make sure they are successful under our leadership. His ongoing guidance and support has made an otherwise overwhelming situation bearable and hopeful. We have a long ways to go to become better dog parents, but it isn't due to the lack of effort, knowledge and support on Graham's part. We expect he will be with us and our dogs for the rest of their lives, to help us through the trials and tribulations of dog ownership and leadership.
