Incredible knowledge and guidance on all things re: my best buddy. Brigitte has changed his life in the best way by advising me on his diet and appropriate supplements that have cured his digestive issues that he suffered with since he was a puppy. She has also looked after him when I've left town and every time I return and pick him up he's in great spirits and doesn't always want to leave. Strongly recommend Brigitte for advice and guidance and care in every aspect of your dog's life. read more

My son and I adopted a husky. As you know, huskies are very stubborn. Luckily, Brigitte trained our Mia after a week of training. Mia was very obedient. She knew all the commands. Brigette truly cares for dogs. I highly recommend her. She is a gem! read more

Brigitte is amazing!! She's cared for Teddy since he was a pup. He loves going with her and always comes back happy and healthier than before. Teddy suffers from allergies and Brigitte has helped us to learn what we can feed him and what herbs/natural supplements to use to heal his sensitivities. She's amazing! read more

We can not say enough amazing things about Brigitte. Like many people we decided to add a puppy to our already crazy lives during covid. We had no idea what we were doing. From the moment I connected with Brigitte on the phone we already felt at ease. She guided us, supported us, encouraged us. We decided to do an intensive and leave Oscar the pup with her. At the end of his stay, she shared her wealth of knowledge, and trained us to carryover her work. It has been almost 2 years, we still talk to Brigitte for continued guidance and support. She is holistic, she knows her stuff, she cares so very much for the puppies. She is truly a blessing. I would recommend her again and again. Thank you for all the support always. read more

We can't say enough good things about Brigette and her amazing way with dogs! Our now almost 10 year old Border Collie mix is always getting complimented for being so well behaved and we always say all credit to Brigette! We first brought our dog to her as a nervous rescue pup and she's grown into such a confident, happy and smart dog. Everything from being off leash and knowing when to stop at curbs to the backflips she does playing with the hose were all things Brigette taught her. Whenever people get a new dog I recommend reaching out to Brigette because it was the best investment (time and cost) we ever made. Aside from the training Brigette has also been there for us with overnight boarding- in fact, it's the only place our dog is ever excited to leave us for! Brigette has even helped us with our dog's health/diet and healing after injuries and is always a text away whenever we've had a question. read more

Brigitte is without a doubt the best dog trainer and holistic specialist and we are incredibly lucky that we were introduced to her right before getting our puppy. She worked with our puppy when we got him at 8 weeks old. We did a board and train with her for a few weeks and in that time she had him fully potty trained, safely socialized and taught him how to sit, stay, and go to his place. All the fundamentals that he knows to this day he learned from her. She's also been a wealth of knowledge any time he has been feeling under the weather and has given us great homeopathic remedies that have made him feel better almost immediately. She has helped us resolve digestive issues and allergies (itchy skin, ears, etc) with incredibly effective homeopathic remedies. I attribute Bear not having to go to the vet often because of her. We absolutely love Brigitte - she is passionate and kind and we couldn't imagine life without her. read more

Brigette Bard is the best dig trainer I have worked with. I highly reccommend her. Brigette really knows how to connect with the animal. After 2 private sessions with Brigette, my 2 year old chihuahua mix had learned everything we set out to teach her! And my dog and I had already seen 2 other trainers. Brigitte knew how to speak my dog's language and teach me how to better connect with my dog. I have never needed a pet sitter, but if I did, I would use Brigitte in a minute. Brigitte is reliable and trustworthy. Brigitte is awesome! read more

We got 2 rescue German Shepard/Husky puppies a few years ago (YES I KNOW CRAZY!). We were overwhelmed by the puppy madness and training. We turned to Brigitte for help. She was amazing! We had spoken to other trainers and they were very harsh w the puppies. We loved Brigitte's gentle yet demanding approach. She gave them positive rewards and praise and everyone was happy! She pays individual attention to each dog's needs and personality- personally. We loved our experience with Brigitte. She is a true dog lover and great trainer. We also have her watch our dogs when we go out of town. She treats each dog like her own and we know they are always in great care. Brigitte is so knowledgeable about training, dog health and anything canine. I would 100% trust her with any dog we had. read more

When I first got my puppy I called Brigitte. I had my dog at her training camp for 3 weeks. When he came back I was astonished. He was so obedient and knew so many commands. It can be really difficult radiating a puppy if you have no experience. That is why Brigitte is the best trainer because other than only training the dog, she teaches you how to train him and maintain all of the obedience and good manners she teaches them for the rest of their lives. She has instilled obedience and great manners in my dog. He is 3 now and the most well behaved boy. I highly recommend talking to Brigitte If you want the best life and care for your dog. read more

Brigitte rocks. she walked our dog scooter and trained him, and when we had to give him up for adoption she took him and has loved him and cared for him ever since. she treats her dogs like...dogs, not humans, but dogs. really good dogs. happy dogs. and they reflect that back to her. and it's a nice thing to see and be a part of. read more

I have a 5 year old Australian Shepherd who has a very sweet and gentle disposition and keeping her that way is important to me. Brigette is a dog trainer and sitter I trust because of two reasons: you can tell she would never do anything harsh to your dog nor would she play mind games or any of that stuff we are afraid someone would do to our babies when they are out of our care. You can count on your pup coming back happy and safe. read more

You don't need to look anywhere else, Brigitte is amazing! She's been walking and pet sitting our dog, Rufus, for five years and she's just incredible. He loves his walks with her and gets very excited when he sees she's coming. Plus she's incredibly knowlegeable both about dog behavior and physical issues, saving us a number of visits to the vet over the years and helping us when behavior issues have cropped up. I really can't say enough good things about Brigitte and Dog Day Afternoon, as a trainer, as a caring dog walker, and as a person, she totally rocks. read more

The best care available! Brigitte has been training and walking my dog for over a year. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviors and just about anything canine. She has really made a difference in my dog's behavior, and she takes her on long adventures that I can really tell make her happy. She is a happy and calm dog after a day with Brigitte. Brigitte is also wonderful for pet sitting. If I have to go out of town, or even if she just needs to go overnight for any reason, I have complete peace of mind knowing that she is in the hands of someone who loves dogs as much as I do, and treats them as family. Brigitte is truly a canine whisperer and has a gift. She is a gem. read more

Dog Day Afternoon is the BEST! Brigitte is A+++ - off the charts! Here is the "thing"... Brigitte has a loving/caring Midas touch + has taught me so much about dog behavior. You can see the glee in Lola's eyes when Brigitte turns up to fetch her for walks + adventures! My review is a RAVE! read more

I am in Santa Monica for 1 month and was having a problem with my dog constantly barking. I looked up dog trainers and chose Brigitte. I was nervous as I really had no information or reference about her. I was pleasantly surprised as she identified and addressed the problem successfully. Also any time I call her she is very willing to help me over the phone. Brigitte calls me to check up on my progress with our dog. I highly recommend her. Ellie S. read more

We saw a difference in our 2 dogs after 1 session. We rescued our 2 pups - Mom (chihuahua) and son (chihuahua/jack russell mix). We learned basic fundamentals but also how to socialize them since they were a bit aggressive to other dogs (we didn't know their background since they were found on the side of a road). We did 2 sessions because it was quite pricey and we also practiced what we learned which made a HUGE difference. Brigitte also watchen them overnight once which was amazing because they got to socialize with her dogs as well. Would definitely recommend Brigitte! read more
