Brian McCoy did an excellent job with my dog piper. Before he had pulled on me so hard I sprained my ankle and now he walks with no pulling.
I took my furbaby for training after he turned aggressive toward strangers due to a shooting that happened. Thank you Brian for helping give us the tools and gaining confidence back with him.

I took my furbaby for training after he turned aggressive toward strangers due to a shooting that happened. Thank you Brian for helping give us the tools and gaining confidence back with him. I don't think he will ever be where he was before the event occurred but we are in a better place and I am able to introduce him to new people and I can get him to walk without pulling me lol. I love that I can take him to the park now with confidence! Thank you again!!! And now we have a puppy 13 weeks old and are starting her training. If you put in the work and pay attention his training is not just for 1 dog but for your future ones as well. Well worth the investment.!

Brian is amazing at recommending strategies for dogs AND their families. He focuses on crucial skills that we needed to learn as a family so that we could help our 4yr old adopted dog, Raven, who had major anxiety and behavior issues. Brian is filled with patience, knowledge, and positive reassurance and we always leave him with confidence in ourselves and our doggo. Raven has come SO FAR and built so much confidence thanks to Brian's help. Highly recommend!
Wanna thank Brian McCoy at Genius Dogs for what a huge difference in my dog’s obedience and training ( including me ) ! And I highly recommend him if you have any behavioral issues with your dogs in Fairfield County and surrounding areas!
