The Story
Helping dogs and their people, professionally, for 30 years
Brett Endes is a professional dog trainer and canine behavior consultant serving Greater Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. His work focuses on practical skills for the situations owners face at home, on walks, and around other dogs.
With more than 30 years of professional experience, Brett works with puppy development, leash manners, reactivity, aggression, and separation-related behavior. His balanced approach emphasizes structure, clear communication, and consistent practice.
Brett holds a degree in psychology from the State University of New York and is a graduate of the Academy of K9 Education. He explains the training process, demonstrates the exercises, and coaches owners as they practice with their own dogs.

Training starts with understanding the dog, the household, and the owner’s goals. Brett works with families who are starting with their first puppy as well as owners seeking help after earlier training has not met their needs.
