Pack Leader Help

We adopted a 7-month-old bernadoodle from a rescue agency that described our dog Gracie as a "spoiled brat" wanting us to be prepared for what we were getting into and suggested we work with a trainer. I have never owned a dog with such a strong personality. She liked to do her own thing, not be told what to do and would get very frustrated when given directions. We have been working with Brianna for about 6 months and saw immediate improvement from our first class. She has more recently helped us get Gracie's energy level around other dogs under control as we have had to bring another dog into the house recently. Gracie has come a LONG way and takes commands really well now but will always love to test the limits. Brianna has been instrumental in that. We have completed our three one on one sessions, attended a group class, and had Gracie go for a full training day. With each interaction with Brianna, we saw Gracie's behaviors improve as we had hoped. She also sends helpful follow-ups about each session. We have really enjoyed working this Brianna and are very grateful she is great at what she does.

I've been working with Brianna and her team for over 2 years now and I could honestly sit here and write about my love for them but then this would be a short novel. We adopted our dog during the pandemic because we finally had time and energy to give a pet our attention. We didn't expect to get a reactive dog who is incredibly protective of his house and owners, but that's the dog we adopted. We started working with Brianna and soon found her guidance to be life changing, not just for the dog, but also for us. Fast forward a year and we started working more consistently with Julianne and let me tell you, we have a new dog thanks to your teachings and help. Let me make something very clear, packleader will not fix your dog for you. Not once in this review did I say that they fixed the dog, because that's not what they do. Not because they're not talented or capable, but because no trainer can just take your dog and "fix" the problems. Any trainer selling you that idea is not worth your money in my opinion. Packleader WILL however give you a the tools and guidance to create a happy and healthy life for you and your dog. We've done board and train programs and ecollars but continue find ourself coming back to Brianna and her pack because what they provide actually works, as long as you're willing to put in the work too. I can't recommend them enough. I think 5 or 6 friends in my neighborhood have started working with Packleader because they've seen the progress we've made with our dog. I want to say "don't visit her" because I'm selfish and want them to myself but seriously, if you want a happy dog, go work with Packleader Help. You won't regret it.

Before working with Brianna, we couldn’t walk within 15 feet of another dog without our dog reacting, barking and lunging. In such a short time, she gave us the tools and knowledge to make everything much more manageable. I never thought we’d be in a place where we could easily pass dogs on a small sidewalk or trail with no reaction. Even our dog-owning neighbors have noticed the progress! Before finding PLH, we poured tons of money and time into other trainers/methods — all focused on obedience. Though our dog could do all things obedience, it never changed her feelings of insecurity. Training with PLH has! Brianna is incredibly knowledgable and really took the time to get to know us and our dog. She’s highly skilled at assessing behavior, body language, and even the intricacies of our dog’s personality. Brianna has a knack for making clients feel heard and encouraged. The pack walks and group classes have been amazing also. 10/10 can’t recommend PLH enough!!

I have 4 dogs and was having some aggression issues with the youngest dog to the point that it was creating much anxiety in the house. After 3 sessions with Brianna, I am happy to report that my house is a peaceful place. The dogs are playing together and I now have much better control over the pack. Her methods are simple to implement and just takes follow through. Additionally, Brianna is easily accessible for questions, problems, between sessions. I highly recommend her services to anyone having behavioral issues with their dog!!!
