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!

My sister and I have been taking our GSD Mix, Cypress, for the last 2 years. Prior to introducing him to Elliott, Cypress was becoming a bit more territorial and aggressive, even towards people whom he's known his entire life, including my parents. This was making it difficult for us to invite others over and take him out on walks. Since then, he's been much more cordial with humans and other dogs. It's been great having Elliott take Cypress out to socialize with other dogs at his business, dog parks, and even retirement homes in the Tacoma area to socialize with people. It's definitely more than just a business to Elliott, as he has built and maintained meaningful relationship not just with our dogs, but with many other clients.
We were fairly new to the breed Cane Corso. Our male Odin 153lbs was in desperate need of some training before it got away from us. Elliot worked wonders for Odin taught him great recall, manners, and helped with his confidence. I highly recommend using him he’s knowledgeable, and has your work with your dog as well which helped us. Odin is now the best boy due to his training techniques.

Elliot is amazing at what he does. Our dog was needing some direction with commands while on a leash and off. After Elliott trained her in some 1x1 sessions she was able to follow orders immediately! In fact, the first time he entered my home, my dog listed to him better than she ever did with us. My dog loves him so much. Elliott shared some tips and tricks to keep her in control and he even trained her to get help when someone in the house was having a medical emergency. That was years ago and our doggo is still the best trained girl. Simply amazing results, don’t waste your money anywhere else, let Elliott work his magic and train your pup, no matter what stage of training they’re at.

My family got in contact with Elliot about 6 years ago recommended by a friend. Pretty much instantly was able to help us with our German shepherd (puppy) at the time who had issues listening and food aggression. Did great work! We have used his services off and on throughout the years and will be again soon! Now my German shepherd is 6yrs old and I rarely use a leash unless I’m near a main road In the last 4.5 years since working on recall training with Elliot. I’ve been hiking with him off leash for 3 years and have never had an issue calling him back and he tends to stay within 20-30ft of me when hiking in the mountains. I 100% recommend Elliot’s training services over group training that other places have. You’ll get a more personalized experience and won’t be a waste of time.
