Bruce’s Best Boys (and Girl’s)

I can't express enough how much Brian and Megan at Bruce's Best have changed both my and my dog Winston's life! I adopted my bloodhound Winston as a stray in July of 2025 and have unfortunately been living in an extremely tense environment since. While he is the sweetest with me, he took a severe dislike to my sister that lives with me. He started resource guarding the entire downstairs living area, kitchen, sofa, and me! Trying initial conventional methods unfortunately did not change a thing. Through no fault of his own, Winston has a neurological condition due to neglect and also had extreme reactivity and anxiety. Every hour of the day was met with a lot of bracing and fear from all of us. I also felt horribly that I couldn't take him out of the home to do normal dog things due to that reactivity. Enter Bruce's Best Boys and Girl's! After finding out about Brian through a mutual friend, I started making the weekly 5 hour round trip out to start our training sessions. The knowledge, care, and tools that Brian (and Megan) uses is in a league of its' own! Where I saw hopelessness and despair, Brian saw potential! Taking the time to teach both myself and Winston on how to redevelop and redefine our relationship with the tools and tricks has been invaluable! The biggest change came after Winston's multi-week board and train with Brian and Megan. When I came to pick him up, it was like having a different dog!! He was so much calmer and happier! Now I am able to take him out to walk, to run errands, or to just be in the car. The IMMEDIATE difference in my home life as well has caused me to shed tears of joy. My sister can sit on the sofa, come and go in and out of rooms, and sit at the kitchen table while Winston sleeps on her feet. Brian has given us back our harmony and our peace. I can't recommend you enough to go with Brian and Megan for training. It will be the BEST decision of your life!!

I’m not even sure where to begin because it’s a long story, but I feel like it’s important to share. We adopted our dog from a reputable agency, and she was wonderful for a while. Unfortunately, she eventually started biting people who came to our home. We reached back out to the woman we adopted her from, and she recommended Brian. I truly cannot say enough about the difference we have seen since working with him and his wife, Megan. The progress we’ve seen week after week has been incredible. We have three kids, busy work schedules, and run a business, so we needed training that was realistic and manageable for our family. The tasks they’ve given us are simple enough to fit into our everyday lives, but the impact has been HUGE. I’m honestly blown away by what we have seen over the past seven weeks. We also have another dog who had absolutely no training. They barked, they didn’t sit, they didn’t stay — basically, there was no training at all. But with the guidance and consistency from Brian and Megan, both of our dogs are now able to do the simple things we need them to do, and the difference is incredible. More than anything, I feel like I’ve learned how to be a confident leader for my dogs, and they are learning to listen to and trust us. That alone has made such a huge difference in our home. We are so grateful for Brian and Megan and everything they have taught us. Seven weeks ago, I never would have imagined we’d see this kind of progress. If you’re considering training your dog, I truly cannot recommend them enough!

We spent 8 weeks in training for our new rescue dogs, Odin and Titan and I'm amazed at the difference in their behavior in such a short amount of time. They are so much more balanced and fulfilled and the house is less chaotic. The dogs have learned a lot, but I've also inadvertently learned a lot about my energy and my communication, as well. Brian is a spectacular trainer and I couldn't be happier with the results. I look forward to our continued learning together. Thanks again!! 🐾
