Highly recommend! Where do I start, I had an unthinkable incident with my dog, I called Brian the next day due to knowing my son had used him for training with their dog and was very pleased with the results. When I told him the situation he with confidence told me he could help, when he told me it was going to be months before he could get us in for boarding I began to bawl like a baby because I was so anxious and didn’t know what to do! He out of the kindness of his heart set up several private lessons starting within days of my call. Brian is such an amazing compassionate trainer who truly cares about his clients. We just finished the boarding and not only did he improve my dogs behavior, he fixed him! We can now go in public with confidence and full obedience and not a single reaction from our dog! The only thing is now I’m worried my dog loves him more than me! Lol he was sad watching him drive away. We are adjusting back to home and I’m not even worried about keeping things up because Brian kept in contact with me for months prior to boarding and promised he is always just a phone call away if we need it. Thank you Brian! The only regret is not investing sooner!

Brian is so incredibly kind and he works so well with animals. I have never seen anyone so passionate about something and driven to make sure that he makes all the dogs brought to him better. My puppy was a behavioral mess before and now she has grown up and listens to my commands thanks to Brian!

I searched for a trainer for our 7 month old Dalmatian Jasper and I came across these amazing humans. Let me tell you what Brian and Jen are phenomenal when it comes to training. Jasper came back to us a whole brand new dog. No longer anxious. He’s now calm, cool and relaxed. He listens to myself and my boyfriend so much better. It’s so nice to be able to have a peaceful house with our beloved boy. If I could give them both 10 stars I so would. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you both so much for everything.

My dog, Gemma, had a lot of anxiety which made walks difficult. She was always on high alert and wouldn't quite listen to me. We also like to do a lot of outdoor activities and she really struggled with staying calm and relaxed. She did a 4 week board and train program with Brian and it has been a game changer. She is off leash on adventures and so happy. She seems calmer in all of her day to day activities. I couldn't be happier (and I think Gemma is too)!
