Just completed 5 wk board and train at Bryans. He was recommended by our vet and his staff. Have had dogs all my life and never needed a professional trainer UNTIL we rescued an 8 wk pup now a year old. We love her so much but she was getting mouthy, unruly, VERY stubborn and willful..jumping on us all the time. I was allowing her to act out and develop some pretty bad habits. She wouldnt listen to us. I was very skeptical ...not being rich and hearing of the exorbitant costs and how some trainers break the spirit of a dog. Not with Bryan..be only broke all her bad habits. First time meeting Brian she was attempting to jump on him. He did some quick hand arm move. She immediately went to lay down in front of him facing us. He GOT her and she GOT him! He told us she will be a very different dog at end of program. ( she was and even more loving!) I noticed on repeat visits she liked being around Bryan. His wife, Kim, nurtures still reinforcing everything Bryan teaches. Our pup fell in love with her, too. Sometimes Bryan has you watch.remotely so you can witness improvements and behaviour when your dog doesnt think you're there. It can get hilarious. Not to sound crude but Bryan can smell BS 5 miles away. He's straight up, honest, reliable and full of heart. Remember he reads people as well as dogs. Its a learning experience that truly changes your world. He'll send you text pics/videos so you are updated as he goes along. His asst Tammy is a sweetheart. Love really abounds here. Can't fake that. Dogs let you know. When I first walked into his Kennel area it was so quiet and no smells. I thought they would all be vacant. Nope...almost all filled! Just relaxed pups comfortable and given good and loving attention. I did hear a couple barking and get excited when they were bringing back.a couple dogs from their walks. Brian gave some high pitched sound and immediate silence. I asked him what that was all about. He just smiled. Kennels are squeaky clean LARGE, covered. .each with its own doghouse inside and lots of clean warm blankets. Sometimes soft music is playing. Misters in the summer. He takes his work very seriously..and he could charge a lot more. But I have come to understand his devotion to the lives of dogs..just wanting to save one more dog from being put down because of mishandling, well intentioned parents but ignorant of the right tools to communicate in DOG language. It's really not a mystery anymore although sometimes it seems like magic. 35 yrs of experience to make it look like that. I use to watch The Dog Whisperer from the onset but Bryan has no EDITING when you watch his work. He teaches you what and how to do it. Just LISTEN. I've honestly never seen anything like him...and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Our pup now has a new adopted home at Bryans.She absolutely loves it there. I guess its nice to be understood!!! read more
