ABOUT BRANT

I made it my goal to be good at rehabilitating anxiety and aggression in dogs because I had to help my dogs.

Along the way, I learned how to help many others and to improve confidence in dogs through teaching them a new relationship with their owners, how to let go of the things that cause them so much worry, and how to engage and refine their primary sense of smell.

In my years as a trainer, I have trained hundreds of breeds and am confident I can help your dog relax and become more confident with you and with their environment!

Let’s get started!

 
 
““We’ve went to other trainers... and nothing compares to the difference we see in this dog already. We couldn’t walk him. We couldn’t get him in the car. He wouldn’t listen to anything we said. And just within 2 hours I see a major difference in this dog and I’m super thankful that we found him.

...We loved being able to see updates of him every single day. And anytime we had a question, I knew we could ask and you would get right back with us.””
— Kodak Testimonial
