Elliot has been such a help training our puppies! They are already so well trained at 7 months. I cannot express it enough he is the absolute best person to go to when you need your dogs trained. He even took in our 5 yr old Great Pyrenees and she has gotten better on her manners! I highly highly recommend!

About Canine Training Services
My name is Doctor Elliott Briggs. I started this home-based company to do training right. I offer a wide range of dog training services including basic obedience, service dog training, canine rehabilitation (working with aggressive, fearful, or other unwanted behaviors) Before working with dogs I practiced clinical psychology and applied behavior analysis. Later on I adapted the behavior sciences I had learned to dog training. This has given me a strong understanding of both canine and human behavior. I love dogs and it is my goal to provide affordable and highly effective dog training. Whether you need your furry little buddy to support you, protect you, or just behave better. I can make it happen!

Elliott has made such a positive impact on our lives! My husband and I are much more confident in the skills and obedience of our dog Charlie. Charlie is also becoming more confident every day, we have noticed significantly less anxiety, and an overall happier dog. Couldn’t recommend Elliott enough!

Elliot has been so great and has effective training tips for you as an owner and helps improve what you and your dog needs and let’s you know immediately what is your dogs behaviors are and what is needed for improvement! I have a pitbull and he has aggression problems that have been improving since training with Elliot. He’s pretty humorous and humble! He knows exactly what needs to be done for your dog to be your doggie for life. He’s also flexible and patient when there’s upcoming schedule changes!

I cannot say enough positive things about Elliot and how he has helped us. I have two Australian Cattle Dogs. My three year old female has always been fearful of new people to the point where we haven't had any guests over to our house, and in order to go away anywhere overnight we would have to pay for some expensive dog boarding where she would be in an indoor/outdoor kennel and wouldn't have to be handled by anyone. Her fear came out looking aggressive, she would bark and growl, and being a herding dog she would sometimes nip at peoples heels to try and get them away from her. This made me so sad. She's absolutely the sweetest dog and I always wished other people could see that too. I had a hard time finding a trainer, I was apprehensive to trust anyone enough to work with my dog. I found canine training services and read about Elliots approach, how he uses his background in psychology to help, and saw nothing but positive reviews of his work with dogs. We've now been working with Elliot for about 5 months, and I couldn't be any happier. Elliot comes right to our house for training; which is great because having people in our home is something my dog was not okay with. From day one Elliot walked in and handled my dogs behaviors with confidence(and ease.) Literally within seconds of him walking in the door I saw my dog begin to act in ways I'd never seen before(in a positive way!) He also immediately started to explain to me what each behavior she displayed meant, why she was doing it, and why he reacted in the way that he did. All of the training that we've done has been this way. He isn't just training my dog; he's training me to train my dog. Since starting training we have been able to do things we've never done before like bring my dog to a hotel, go on vacation and have someone come into our house to care for our dogs, and have guests come into our house(all without any negative situations.) I very highly recommend Elliot. His training is amazing, he's a great person to work with, very trustworthy in your home and with your pets, and his prices are manageable compared to most training out there. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Elliot did a great job with my Doberman and labradoodle. I should have used him years ago. I am a happy customer.
