Every day is better with Luna .. hallelujah!!!
On walks I see what’s coming and I keep going …and she 98% of the time is near perfect. We can walk by ducks and barking dogs :) Corrections are less and less.
It was great yesterday, she saw something that was scary noise (to her) and we kept walking for and she looked up at me … maybe for
reassurance? instead of focusing on the air cannon noise at the nearby daycare.
The other night she faced her fear of walking in rain. By the end of walk she appeared to have more confidence. The ultimate smile was neighbors commenting on how different she is!!
I am thankful for what you taught us. Me especially. God bless you!!!
Update 1/7 We can now have guests… service workers …and even dogs in our house and she’s not reactive. Relatives at Christmas were apprehensive visiting but had huge smiles and relief at the new Luna. She minded her own business and was calm. We can drive and she ignored dogs she sees. She was quite embarrassing in the car. I love her and she is 90% better. Thank you again Brandon!!!

My husband and I have owned a dog before but never really did any real training with her. When we got our puppy Lainey, I knew I wanted to really work on training. I did a lot of research and chose Brandon based on all of his amazing reviews. He gave us the tools we need to make sure Lainey becomes a reliable dog in any situation. If you're willing to put in the work, Sky Soldier Dog Training is the best place to start.

We cannot recommend Brandon highly enough. We did training with Brandon in 2024 for our dog Charlie. Charlie was dog reactive and would pull, lunge, bark, and growl at other dogs. When we started training, we felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do for Charlie. Brandon was knowledgeable and provided us with resources from day one. He gave us clear and effective tools to manage and improve the behavior. Now a year plus later, we are still implementing the lessons he taught us with Charlie. He helped us establish good habits/rules/standards for Charlie that we implement daily.

I had a wonderful experience with Sky Soldier Dog Training. My dog is naturally affectionate and thoughtful, and after completing the program, she’s come home as a confident, considerate, and remarkably disciplined companion. The transformation has been incredible and orders of magnitude beyond where we started.
As a first-time dog owner, I came into this process with very little understanding of the different dog training philosophies out there. Brandon’s approach stood out as practical, effective, and deeply caring. He clearly puts a lot of effort and thought into each dog’s individual needs. I’m so grateful for the care and attention he gave to both my dog and me throughout the training journey.
I would highly recommend Sky Soldier Dog Training to anyone looking for a program that builds not just obedience, but confidence and mutual understanding between dog and owner.

Brandon's training style is easy to understand. He parallels it to parenting and teaching them the expected behavior. It takes a lot of practice and Ollie isn't "done" after 5 weeks, but we are on a path for success. He tailored the training to what Ollie was doing and how he was reacting to distractions. He sends a lot of information after each lesson to look back on when practicing through the week. He is super laid back and easy to work with.
