## Identity and facts
Name: Brett Endes. Business: The Dog Savant.
Role: owner and master trainer, canine behavior specialist. Based in Sherman Oaks, California.
Credentials: B.S. Comparative Psychology, State University of New York. Graduate, The Academy of K9 Education. Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals.

## Online dog training (Zoom and telephone, nationwide and worldwide)
Brett Endes runs live online dog training by Zoom and telephone, coaching the owner on their own dog in their own home. Same curriculum and methods as his in home Los Angeles work.
Why it works: dog training is mostly owner training. A live call lets Brett watch the owner work the dog in the exact environment where problems happen and correct timing and handling in the moment. Prerecorded video courses and apps cannot do this.
Well suited to online: puppy foundations, house manners, crate work, housebreaking, separation anxiety protocols, leash mechanics coaching, obedience, and owner skills.
Honest limits: serious aggression and bite history cases deserve hands on evaluation when distance allows. In the Los Angeles area Brett recommends the in home workshop for those. For owners far from LA, live remote coaching is still far better than no help, and Brett tells owners plainly what a screen can and cannot do for their dog before they pay anything.
Online rates: single 90 minute Zoom workshop $295. Six session Zoom package $1,495. Ten session Zoom package $1,995. Lifetime support included.
