I have worked with Brandon numerous times in the last three years (so I'm no longer sure exactly what I've spent on hiring him to work with me). I had never owned a dog before, and my dog came to me with a few problems. Leash aggression and running off were the two at the top of my list. With his help, my dog is now reliable off-leash and meets other dogs without lunging and snarling. My neighbors often comment on what a different dog she is today from when I first got her. With Brandon's expert advice and infinite patience, he worked with both me and my dog to help me understand what I needed to do in order to train her. I purchased a couple of his training packages to start, and since then have called him back to the house a couple of times just for one-offs, if I'm trying something new with the dog. He's worked with me in my home, my neighborhood, and in nearby parks and streets- wherever it is that I think would help my dog, and help me with her training. Additionally, Brandon has been wonderful about answering questions over e-mail and by phone. One of the best things about Brandon is that he really listens when you talk to him about your dog. He listened to my descriptions of her behavior, and asks questions to make sure he understands. He is upbeat and positive, and really cares that I have the skills and tools I need to work effectively with my dog. As for his way with dogs, mine loves him. From the minute he walks in the door until the minute he leaves, he has her attention and I can tell that she thinks Brandon is the bees' knees. Brandon is consistent, fair, and smart about the way he works with dogs. I've recommended him to several neighbors and friends, and always felt completely confident that he would live up to my hype.

Our dog isn’t very friendly with the other dogs. The guy came out and worked with our dog for several weeks. He worked with her individually and also with us. He took us on long walks with our dog. She is never going to be acclimated to other dogs, but he taught us how to handle her during long walks and get her to eat well. We’ll definitely use him in the future.

Our session was fabulous! I now have specific training tasks to work on with my dogs that I never would have been able to figure out on my own. Brandon is by far the best trainer I have ever met and would not trust my dogs with anyone else.

What a difference in my dog. Brandon came to my home and worked with her in our setting. In the elevator, in the lobby and in the neighborhood. We now have a pleasant "heeling" experience rather than "tug of war".

Excellent! He used a special collar and techniques specific to our dogs' needs. Our puppy would not go in her crate without a fight, but now walks in on her own and doesn't even bark. She is a trained dog that now knows the basic commands and listens to her owners!

His prices are very reasonable and worth it, especially compared to other trainers. He comes to the house to train in the home environment but also trains at his house. He also trained at my two year old nephew's house so the dog would become familiar with small children and took the dog to the park to train around people and other dogs. The approximate cost is per hour.
