5 star ratingBrett brings a very efficient, yet intuitive method to the table. He combines listening to what the dog is trying to communicate with what we, as guardians, are subconsciously projecting. He has great energy around the pups and helps you tap into your own energy as well.
He does not hesitate to take on difficult cases, and even offers group classes for his clients to interact in a controlled environment. If you're looking to get results and your money's worth from the gate, hit up Brett.

5 star ratingI recently adopted a loving 2-year-old Lhasa Apso/terrior mix dog from a rescue and, with exception to taking walks, he was a dream. About two weeks after adopting my dog, he suddenly refused to climb hills or walk about 100 paces away from my apartment without protesting. After a single one-on-one home visit from Brett, my dog was fine. Brett showed me how to properly lead him and how to counter his stubbornness.

In my opinion, Brett is not only a Dog Savant, but also a Human Savant. He reassured me, provided constructive criticism, and gave me all the tools I needed to be lead my dog confidently. He is also great about answering questions over the phone or via text before/after your appointment.

Suffice to say, I highly recommend him. He is worth penny! I'll be back for future lessons with him. His work surpassed my expectations and he completely fixed the problem in one session.

We have made huge strides working with our dog Boomer (big strong Mutt mix!) thanks to Brett and his training regime. Before Brett we had trouble controlling Boomers reactions when encountering other dogs on leash (or when he saw rabbits, squirrels, etc…)." "We have seen significant improvements thanks to Brett who has really helped US better understand what the dogs are thinking and to counteract the dogs reaction by anticipating what they are thinking. GREAT TRAINING METHODS, YOU WON’T FIND A BETTER TRAINER THAT IS DOWN TO EARTH. He’s funny too.

We just finished our training sessions with Brett / The Dog Savant, and I wanted to pen a review while it was still fresh in my mind. Brett’s training was highly effective for our reactive dog, and has allowed him to lead a calmer and better adjusted existence. He still has work to do, but Brett has given us the right tools to move forward on our own, and clear instructions to consistently apply them. Brett takes a no-nonsense approach to his teaching, and he expects real effort from both his animal and human clients to achieve the desired results. I would highly recommend Brett’s services to anyone looking for help with their dog. He always permeates a deep care and respect, and is clearly passionate about his work.

5 star ratingThis review is long overdue and I really don't know why I haven't posted sooner. I also want to say I could never have posted and I'm sure in reality it wouldn't make a huge difference, but the fact is this training is still positively impacting my family, so I thought about this once again and had to post. I was a client years back with an adopted pit bull from the shelter and a shih tzu. My pit bull was a young full grown dog and mouthing really bad, even snapping. Today my children feed my dog, he does not mouth at all, walks straight into his kennel, has order and coexists beautiful in our family. We had small children and training was important to us. To this day we are still using what Brett instilled in us, the pet owners. It really has a lot to do with our own behaviors. Thank you Brett! Your training is still appreciated years later.

5 star ratingIt's probably not an exaggeration to say that Brett saved my dog's life--or at the very least helped me save his life.

I adopted a 3-year-old husky/corgi back in December, and quickly found I was in over my head. He was unsocialized, aggressive, and out of control. A "red-zone" dog, as you might call them. Within 3 weeks, he was running the house. My boyfriend and I couldn't hug or kiss without him growling and trying to get between us. He was snapping and biting to get his way, coveting his food, toys, and bed. I was living in constant terror that he would bite someone and seriously injure them and I'd end up having to put him down.

On week four, my boyfriend and I met with Brett and he gave us a no-nonsense training plan to work through. My dog started behaving differently almost immediately. Brett explained that my dog was not calculatingly aggressive--just dominant-minded and fearful. Over the next 2 and a half months, Brett taught us how to work through a host of problems, step-by-step, always game to answer the million questions we had every week and take our calls and texts in-between sessions. My dog is now much more relaxed and obedient, and his aggression has almost completed dissipated. I figured my dog would improve, but I never thought he'd be totally rehabilitated. We're not quite there yet, but I can see graduation day on the horizon if we continue to implement the lessons we learned from Brett and stay consistent.

I have no doubt that without Brett's help, my dog would have faced serious, imminent risk of euthanasia--and not because he was a bad dog. He was just neglected and improperly raised. I fear most other trainers would have given up or been unable to help him, but Brett really put in the time and effort. My dog is so much happier now, and so are we.

5 star ratingWe have used about 5 trainers to address our pit bull mix's aggressive behavior towards other dogs. We were unable to sustain a change with their methods over the last 2 years. He is a powerful dog and I was very concerned that we would never be able to be in public with him. After 2 sessions with Brett, we attended a class with 25 dogs!! I'm serious. It was incredible. Our dog was completely calm and walked safely in the pack with other dogs large and small. Our previous training encouraged mostly avoidance (which may work for some) but Brett taught us how to intentionally and safely expose him and retrain his responses. Thank you Brett! We have learned a lot and highly recommend your training program.

Brett came to our house for a ninety 90 minute session to help us with our two year old Shaffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian mutt mix. Scout had started getting aggressive with delivery people and other visitors to the house, as well as too aggressive on walks. In 90 minutes, Brett gave us easily to understand and remember and use guidelines and instruction that made an immediate difference. His methods training us owners were straightforward, easy to understand and easy to follow. he also gave us an email with links to the equipment he recommended, making it so easy to purchase. Brett was a game changer for us and for our little man!!!

5 star ratingI highly recommend Brett and am happy to share our experience working with him.

We found Brett online about 5 years ago when we were looking for a trainer to help with our dog who had growing separation anxiety. After an initial consultation, we hired Brett for 6 sessions, and were able to include our puppy for no additional charge. Brett is intuitive, knowledgeable, and a really good teacher. Brett "warned" us that he was going to spend as much time training us as our dogs. I saw pretty quickly that I hadn't been telling and showing our dogs what I expect of them, which left them to make their own decisions and made them really anxious. We've since hired Brett to train two other dogs, and have recommended him to friends. Brett also has free Saturday group training sessions for his current and former clients.
