The Trusted Companion

Brant was absolutely amazing. He’s very upfront and honest regarding your dog’s situation. He advised us Bear was the most severe case of anxiety that he has seen, but Brant did really well with him. We took him on vacation with us as soon as we got him back so it was a little hard for Bear to adjust but it was great!! We took him everywhere, he plays with the kids, he listens off leash. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer! I loved the daily updates and I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better outcome. We wouldn't deal with anyone else!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional dog trainer for anxiety, reactivity, or aggression issues, we highly recommend Trusted Companion and Brant Weller. Our 2-year-old rescue dog, Bosco, struggled with severe anxiety that often led to aggressive behaviors. We couldn’t comfortably have guests in our home, and taking Bosco out in public was stressful for everyone involved. We enrolled him in Trusted Companion’s Board & Train program, and the results have been life-changing. Brant was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced in dog psychology and behavior training. He provided daily video updates throughout the program, which gave us confidence in Bosco’s progress and continue to serve as helpful training resources. He also spent extensive time with us at the end of the training, explaining his methods, the importance of structured play, and how to reinforce Bosco’s progress at home. The transformation in Bosco has been incredible. He is noticeably more confident, calmer, happier, and better equipped to handle situations that previously caused fear and aggression. What truly sets Brant apart is his continued support after training and his genuine investment in both the dog and the owners’ success. Trusted Companion didn’t just train our dog, they helped bring out the best version of Bosco

Sending Heidi, our English yellow Labrador puppy, to Brant Weller for the three week board and train was the best decision we could have made for our family. Brant is a world-class trainer who is as patient as he is knowledgeable. He is kind, easy to work with and welcomed Heidi into his home. He didn’t just teach her commands; he taught her how to play and gave her the tools to be a well adjusted dog. The transformation is amazing - she went from nipping and jumping on the kids to a trusted companion. When Heidi returned home, Brant spent hours with us, setting us up for success to continue her training. We can’t recommend him enough. If you’re in need of a trainer, Brant is certainly someone you want on your team! - Caitlin & Matt Borland

Brant provided his 3 week boarding with training to Jude, a 7+y/o lab in the process of adoption. As Jude's guardian (previous owner recently deceased), using TTC in the transition was the best decision I could have made to provide proven guidance. Brant detailed every step of the process completing the program with comprehensive training for both the new owner and myself/my husband. Jude received extensive training, classical condition, trial & error play and appeared to have a great time in the daily videos Brant provided. Attention to many details impressed me and we are very happy with Brant Weller and The Trusted Companion.
