Your dog isn't broken
The advice you've been given is

You have tried treats. You have tried YouTube. You have tried the trainer who came to your house, smiled, and left you with the same dog you started with.

Thirty years and more than 20,000 dogs have taught Brett one thing. Dogs do not need bribery. They need structure and leadership. The aggressive dog, the leash puller, the anxious rescue, every one of them can be turned around. The breed is never the problem. Doodles, French bulldogs, shepherds, rescues, working breeds. Real world obedience, balanced methods, and a trainer who has actually seen it before, that is the solution.

By the time the phone rings, Brett is usually the third trainer the family has called. The positive only approach already failed. The dog is worse, not better. That is where his real work begins.

Brett gets results that I have not seen equaled. I appreciate his years of study, his dedication and his straight talk. Not a single gimmick, just real work.

Brett took a massive problem our dog was having with leash reactivity and turned it around overnight. The difference was immediate. I've been recommending him to eve…

To this day we are still using what Brett instilled in us. Your training is still appreciated years later. That says everything about the quality of his methods.

After 2 sessions with Brett, we attended a class with 25 other dogs. Our dog was completely calm and walked safely the entire time. Two sessions.

Brett is the real deal. His methods give structure to a dog's life and there are no gimmicks. He's direct, effective, and I'd hire him again immediately.

Finally, someone who focused on what motivates our dog and was willing to implement some structure instead of trying to bribe. The change in our dog is remarkable.

Brett is the BEST dog trainer I have ever met. Worth every penny spent and then some. If you are on the fence, stop hesitating and just book the evaluation.

He came to our home in West Hollywood for several sessions. Our dog is MUCH happier and our bond with her is much stronger. Exactly what I hoped for.

Common Questions

Questions I get asked every week

With a balanced approach, most owners see major behavioral changes within the first ninety minute evaluation. Lasting transformation requires the full package and consistent practice, but you will know by the end of session one whether this is working.

Treats have their place, but real obedience requires more than bribery. I teach owners how to motivate their specific dog through structure, communication, and earned rewards. A dog that only obeys when food is present is not trained, it is rented.

Yes. I specialize in cases other trainers have given up on. If you have been told your dog is untrainable, that is usually a sign the trainer did not know how to read your dog, not that your dog is beyond help. I have seen 20,000 dogs. I have not met an untrainable one.

Yes. I work with clients worldwide via Zoom and phone. My six session remote package is $1,495 and includes lifetime support, the same lifetime access as in person clients. Remote works because I am training the owner as much as the dog.
