Brookside Walk + Train

I am forever grateful to Brookside, Dinyee, and Rubbie. Brookside is one of those rare businesses that actually takes the time to really get to know you (as an individual) and your dog. Dinyee is such a gem of a human and has truly helped change my life and my dog's life for the better. I took my rescue puppy to Brookside last year, as Coco was very fearful of and reactive towards people and other dogs. I was desperate for help and needed a lot of guidance, as I was raising this puppy by myself. Over the course of the next 12 months, Dinyee took the time (even after business hours at times) to thoroughly understand my personal relationship with my dog and really figure out where behavioral issues were stemming from. Dinyee gives it to you straight and doesn't sugar-coat anything, which is exactly what I needed in order to improve my relationship and follow through with Coco. I honestly don't know what I would've done without Brookside and their incredibly knowledgeable and kind team. My relationship with Coco is so much fuller and more enjoyable now, and Coco seems much calmer and happier. Thank you so much, Brookside!

My pup Titan loves his time at Brookside! Before he went through his training at Brookside he was so anxious on his walks. And his reactivity made it difficult for me to manage him on the leash. After his time with Dinyee, he is like a different dog on his walks. He is so much more confident. And I can finally enjoy talking him on walks. He adores his trainers Dinyee and Ruby! I would highly recommend Brookside for any pups but particularly for those that struggle with reactivity.

Brookside has been an absolute life saver for our reactive pup and an excellent resource for us as first time pet owners, we don't know where we'd be without them! After we rescued our beloved, but admittedly behaviorally-challenged pup, we realized that we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. With a past bite history, she had started to show clear signs of aggression towards other dogs and strangers with us, and after trying our luck with a few different trainers in the area, we were at our wits end. After being unsure of what to do next, we reached out to Brookside. Dinyee and Rubbie patiently worked with us and gave us a new lease on life as pet owners, helping us to understand what had to be done in order to turn things around. What we learned through the foundations program gave us the skills, confidence and knowledge as handlers that we needed, and for that we are very grateful. Brookside will be your last stop for all training needs!

We have been happy customers of Brookside walk and train for 9 years! Dinyee is a fantastic trainer and fundamentally understands dog behavior. She centers on communication and structure for our dogs; this has helped keep our dogs calm and less anxious. She has helped our family with approaches to use at home to build those skills. We starting with training for our rescue dog and now for our new puppy. With both dogs we learned so much and this continues to improve everyones quality of life! We also use Brookside Walk +Train for daycare and boarding. Both services keep our dogs environment consistent and are really convenient!
