Program 01
Puppy Training
Start it right the first time
Puppies grow fast, so start training today. When it comes to a puppy, it is important to establish a consistent foundation of commands, good behavior, socialization, and housebreaking. From eight weeks through the first year, Brett helps you and your young dog learn the basics so you end up with a well mannered, happy dog that listens in real world situations for life. Covers all basic commands (Heel, Sit, Down, Come), practical manners (Off, Drop it, Leave it, Place), bite inhibition, socialization, and the problem behavior prevention that saves you from fixing bad habits later. This is the most important year of your dog's life.
- • Basic commands and practical manners
- • Crate and housebreaking
- • Socialization protocol
- • Problem behavior prevention
Program 02
Aggression and Reactivity
Brett's specialty, and it is solvable
Lunging, snapping, biting, leash reactivity, resource guarding, fear based aggression. These behaviors look terrifying, but aggression is a very misunderstood problem, and too many dogs end up re homed, surrendered, or euthanized because no one knew how to help them. There is hope. In 30 plus years and more than 20,000 dogs, Brett has taken the cases other trainers walked away from. The goal is never to suppress the dog. It is to teach your dog to make calmer choices through focus, trust, and your leadership, so previously aggressive or reactive dogs become social, balanced, and happy.
- • Dog to dog reactivity
- • Stranger aggression
- • Resource guarding
- • Fear based aggression
Program 03
Separation Anxiety
Calm dogs are made, not born
Pacing, whining, destroying doors, scratching windows the moment you leave. Separation anxiety is a complicated and stressful problem for dogs and owners alike. The root cause is rarely boredom. It is hyper vigilance, a dog keeping too close an eye on its owner. Instead of defaulting to medication or management that never resolves the cause, Brett uses a holistic, balanced approach that addresses the root: leadership, place training to teach your dog to relax on a designated mat for gradually increasing durations, movement control with crates and gates to reduce constant owner checking, and calm, structured departures and arrivals. Consistency is everything.
- • Place training and relaxation protocols
- • Crate desensitization
- • Structured departures and arrivals
- • Confidence building
Program 04
Leash Training
Walk your dog, not the other way around
If walks are a war you are losing, that ends in the first session. Brett teaches you the mechanics, the timing, and the energy that turn a loose leash walk into something you both look forward to. You work on the streets you actually walk, in the real conditions you live in, until your dog listens when the chips are down.
- • Loose leash mechanics
- • Heel position
- • Reactive leash recovery
- • Multi dog walks
Program 05
Group Classes
Group therapy for dogs
A group class is a great environment to get together with like minded owners, socialize your dog, sharpen your skills, and learn new ones. Brett calls these sessions group therapy for dogs. The goal is real world obedience, your dog listening to your commands in any situation, not just at home.
