Our Training Services
Consultation
Before any training is started this 60 minute visit is used to discuss your training needs, go into detail our philosophy, and gives the opportunity to put in motion a specific training plan that is best for you and your dog.
*This fee will be waived once training is agreed and paid.
Reactive focus training
This training is focused for those who are struggling with a specific situation that your dog is reacting to negatively - food aggression, separation anxiety, aggressive on leash, possessive, fear, etc. Most negative behaviors are more symptoms than the actual problem. More time is required for this focused behavioral training. Let’s get to the bottom of the issue and make day to day life a lot easier!

TESTIMONIALS
Anna Decoste
Of all people I absolutely trust Brendan with my dog more than any other trainer. My dog Lily was lacking confidence, was very fearful specifically of men, and was overly protective of me. In addition to being able to train Lily, he could also teach me and my family the reasons why she behaved this way, and how to fix it. We can now confidently go for walks without her barking at every male or trying to run away, we are able to bring her into public settings without her getting overwhelmed with anxiety, and can now finally have company over without her feeling like she needs to be sitting on my lap guarding me. Would definitely recommend Brendan for any dog training requirements you may have!

I can not recommend Brendan and his training methods enough. I called him to help me with my 1.5-year-old dog Lakota, who was a nightmare on the leash and having negative reactions every time she saw another dog. Brendan was patient with her and with me but also directive in what needed to be done. He adapted his plans to how Lakota was performing and was responsive whenever I had any questions or concerns between sessions. Walking Lakota is now one of the best parts of my day and not something I dread, and I feel way more equipped to handle difficult or unexpected situations. Brendan is awesome and I can't thank him enough for helping to improve my relationship with my dog.
