    Coach Bryndon and his buddy Griffin
    Junefaith I.

    Bryndon is an amazing trainer. Our rescued 4-month old border collie mix Griffin learned so much from him in just 5 sessions. The training helped us as dog presents and Griffin to master the foundational skilsl we all need to raise a well-behaved puppy. I absolutely would recommend Bryndon to any dog parent .

    So happy that's I was able to find Bryndon, we've had trainers in the past. They were decent and learned some stuff from them but the level of training we've gotten with bryndon is hands down the best overall. We have a very reactive dog, she's not small so we were very nervous at first but he was able to adapt to our situation and help us on our journey with our dog summer. We will continue to work with him as she makes leaps of improvements in her behavior. If you have been like us and had trainers that did not deliver I highly suggest you reach out to bryndon for a consultation.

    Brydon was exceptional, his help to train Bardo for our 15 hours trip was amazing. We met him with the goal of Bardo becoming a service dog and even our dog is only 1 year old we were able to achieve all goals. You can tell by meeting Brydon he loves dogs and he makes sure that training is the right one focusing on maximizing the right behavior. definitely recommended. Thanks Brydon!

    Words cannot express how lucky we are to have found Bryndon! We adopted our dog Finley from a boxer rescue knowing he had some mild behavioral issues but thinking we could handle it...When we brought him home we discovered he was actually very leash aggressive towards DOGS AND PEOPLE on walks which was not great considering we live in a condo community. From the beginning Bryndon took the time to get to know Finn slowly(Finn had previously jumped and lunged at another trainer who approached him a little too quickly) and let him get comfortable with him. He helped us realize that Finn just didn't know how to react to new people and dogs and that we needed to work on positive associations with those things. Bryndon was not only patient with Finn but with us as well since we needed a lot of training too to get Finn to pay attention to us. He never rushes through any of our training sessions and has been very accommodating with our schedules. It has taken a bit of time to get where we are at now(we just finished our 7th session with him) but Finn has made HUGE improvements and today he actually got to interact and play with another dog! Which really seemed like an impossible task in the beginning. We are excited to continue working on Finn on our own and will be calling Bryndon to help us in introducing Finn in a safe manner with potential doggy friends :)

    I recently rescued a 6 month old, female Blue Nose Pitbull & named her Dharma. I opted to put her in private training right away, in hopes of not only having an obedient & polite dog, but also to get her prepared to be a therapy dog down the road. I am very happy I found & chose OC Canine Coaching. Dharma & I have both been in training weekly for almost 2 months with amazing progress! Bryndon has been excellent in coaching Dharma out of some natural bad habits like jumping, digging, barking, refusing to get in the car etc. He has also quickly taught her to sit, stay, shake, lay down & leave it, as well as clicker trained her! If you've ever been around a high energy, 6 month old pitbull, you know this is not easy! Lately, we have been working on some more challenging hurdles like walking on a leash properly & getting over her fear of the car. She improves with every session thanks to Bryndon's incredible patience, valuable knowledge and experience. Bryndon works with her at my home, my office & local parks. Dharma absolutely loves & respects him. She clearly understands what he wants from her & she responds to him wonderfully. I too have learned how I can be a better dog owner, now that I understand how her brain works & what her needs are. His advice, recommendations & training have been priceless in helping me raise a smart, obedient, happy & healthy puppy. Thanks Bryndon! We are so glad we found you! -Brandine & Dharma

    We absolutely loved Bryndon! He helped us with training tips for our Bernese Mountain Dog pup and we enrolled in his puppy class. He's crazy about dogs and just really makes you aware of how to achieve the ultimate goal you have with your dog. We are so grateful to have found him!

    We were looking for a trainer last year when we got our puppy. Bryndon was great through email and phone calls. We hired him for several sessions. I thought it was wonderful that he came to our home, and neighborhood to help us train her in our own setting. We were having sleeping issues at first, and Bryndon came to our rescue. He looked at what we were doing and fixed the issue almost immediately. He suggested toys for our very energetic puppy. We recommended him to our friend and she started training with Bryndon also. He was able to watch our two dogs play together and correct their social behaviors. Our pup is now a year and a half and we are still using the tools Bryndon gave us. We have recommended him to several of our friends. Thank you again Bryndon!

    Barney the Barbarian in rare sleep mode!

    We did a lot of research before we chose Bryndon to help us with our adopted seven month old mix, Barney! Chow-Chow figures in the "mix" we discovered when we had his DNA profile done, and this breed is not noted for getting on well with other canines. We were in despair of ever being able to have our extremely dog- and human- reactive pup interact appropriately with other dogs especially , but also with their owners, as well as our friends, some of whom are non-doggy people and were frankly alarmed by Barney's intimidating behavior. Bryndon taught us practical strategies that work WHEN HE'S NOT THERE, as well as during training sessions , something that many trainers fail to realize as being pivotal if sustained satisfaction with your coach is to be achieved! Any of us who have parented multiple dogs over the years are fed up with trainers whose methods of instruction are either outmoded - and can actually increase aggression ! - or are passing fads not based on long term results in real life situations. That is not to say that Bryndon isn't well-versed in, and doesn't use, innovative techniques, tricks and games to make learning fun . . . but he only introduces the ones that in his experience have a good likelihood of working for your pet's temperament and the particular issues you want targeting. He is decidedly not a " one-size-fits-all" kind of instructor, nor is he condescending; we felt like partners in Barney's learning program. He always kept in mind what OUR priorities were in measuring improvements in our pup's behavior whilst tactfully letting us know what were realistic expectations in a certain time frame, if we wanted the advancements to be lasting. As impressive as all these skills are, though, what sold my husband and I on Bryndon to be Barney's trainer was how patently obvious what motivates him is his deep love of dogs and his strong desire to help them develop behaviors that ensure a happy, fulfilled life for themselves and, enable them to live amicably with their humans! You could not do better for your precious furbaby that to put his training in Bryndon's capable hands! Anne Cain

    We are so thankful we found Bryndon to help us train our 8 month old Golden Retriever Cooper! Before we started working with Bryndon, Cooper was extremely destructive, jumpy, and had no boundaries. With his guidance Cooper has made so much progress and we love him even more! As a first time dog owner Bryndon was very supportive of us and we would highly recommend him to all!

    Brandyn was so good with our pup!
    Ron R.

    Bryndon is fantastic. We brought a white English Labrador pup into our family and Bryndon taught us how bring a new puppy under control. In no time at all, Bryndon worked with us to get our dog to respond to the following commands: Sit Down Place (lays down at a designated area) Stay Drop Leave It Down Shake (handshake) Plus Bryndon helped us teach our dog to listen while on walks and gave us a wealth of other canine knowledge. I would highly recommended his training services as well as his boarding services!

    Smiles!  Bryndon and Oakley

    I have a two year old German shepherd/ doberman and plan to train her to be my spouses service dog. Are you able to provide such training?

    Hi, thanks for reaching out. Yes I can train service type behaviors. There are some considerations, though as far as where you are in relation to me in Costa Mesa, the dog temperament, and emotional stability and the service is needed.

    I just rescued a "1" year old street dog from Mexico. She is an IG/chi mix and very timid. She is friendly to everyone but my husband. She gets really aggressive around him, barking and lunging and has even snapped at him. Can you help?

    This is fairly common behavior especially from a scared small dog in a new environment. I know it’s very frustrating and I sympathize with your situation. Please give me a call or fill out the behavior questionnaire on my website and I’ll see what I… Read more

    I almost didn't book with The Dog Guru because I saw a review calling him "verbally abusive," and…read moreafter working with him personally, I honestly could not disagree more. Pay ZERO attention to that review. As a psychologist, I pay very close attention to behavior, regulation, communication, and emotional energy, and at no point did I witness cruelty, aggression, intimidation, or abusive behavior toward me or my dog. What honestly amazed me most was that he never said one word to my dog. There was no yelling, chaos, or "training performance." It was all action, energy, body language, timing, and an understanding of canine psychology that I have never personally seen before. Before we started working together, Daisy was going after every dog she saw. Within two hours, we were calmly walking and standing next to dogs that were within a foot of her, even sniffing her, and she was completely relaxed. The transformation was honestly remarkable. I think some people may misunderstand firmness, honesty, or structure as being "mean," especially when dealing with difficult dog behaviors, but there is a huge difference between abuse and someone confidently leading both owner and dog. My experience felt safe, effective, loving, and honestly incredible. For the first time in a long time, I left feeling hopeful and relaxed instead of anxious. I am extremely grateful I trusted my own experience instead of one negative review.

While, this truth may not sit well and I didn't actually hire him, no matter because your mileage may vary. He is a busy guy. All the best to you all.

It honestly brought back the feeling of being a first-time parent--questioning every decision, but without a nurse hotline for guidance. My husband and I were especially struggling with how to manage Chloe around our young kids. She was very unruly, reactive on walks, and difficult to control around other dogs. We found SoCal Dog Training through a friend's referral, and choosing Vladae ended up being one of the best decisions we've made. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first--so many trainers promise results--but Vladae truly delivers. The onboarding process was seamless. The initial FaceTime consultation helped set clear expectations, and I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was about the work required. What stood out most to me was his long-term commitment--knowing I could always come back for refreshers gave me a lot of confidence that I wasn't just getting a short-term fix. The training sessions are where the transformation really happens. After each session, it genuinely felt like we had a new dog--but that's also where the responsibility comes in. You have to consistently follow through with the exercises he gives you. In many ways, it reminded me that investing in my dog's future takes the same consistency and commitment as investing in my two kids. She's now quite literally my third kid. Chloe used to be extremely reactive--barking, pulling on the leash, and even jumping up on our toddlers. Vladae helped me understand the root of her behavior and showed me how to properly address it. Now she's calm, more confident, and walking her has become something I actually enjoy. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. It wasn't an easy process, but it was absolutely worth it. Also, a special shout-out to Antonina for being so kind, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling.

I attended an Obedience 2 session on September 27th. When I arrived, the waiting area outside had a strong smell of urine, which made me question how often that space is cleaned. During class, we were given a plate for treats, and I wasn't comfortable using it without knowing how frequently they're sanitized. Before attending, I had called for help with the app because I was unsure how to manage the class schedule. I was advised to try the first class before committing to anything else, and I asked to be removed from all waitlists. Even so, the next day--September 28th--I was still added to another class I had specifically asked not to be enrolled in. I canceled it immediately and requested confirmation that I wouldn't be charged for it. On September 30th, I emailed to request a refund for the unused classes. I was told I'd only be charged for the one session on the 27th. My total charge was $405, and I expected to be refunded everything except that single class. Instead, it wasn't until I filed a dispute with my credit card company that on October 25 I received a refund for only $324. I was charged for the class on September 28. I followed up multiple times from September through November 22nd--about six emails in total--and each time I was told that "Vince was out of the office" and that my refund was still being handled. I am still waiting on that refund. I shared this feedback with them directly because I do think simple improvements--like suggesting owners bring their own bowls or a mat for their dog--could make a difference. I was genuinely hoping to return in the future for trick or scent classes, but the lack of customer service and the difficulty getting a straightforward refund left me very disappointed. I hope they take this as constructive feedback and make changes that improve the experience for other dog parents.

Julie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish--super knowledgeable, patient, and clearly experienced. She also took the time to make sure we understood how to reinforce everything at home, which made a huge difference. If you're considering a board and train, especially for a young dog, I highly recommend Julie. It gave us structure, confidence, and a much calmer, happier pup.

    Julie provides a safe and fun experience for dogs in her care. I found out that dog parks can be…read moredangerous, because some unsupervised & untrained dogs can get aggressive. Once I had a scary experience at Dog Beach. However Julie is a great trainer and keeps things mellow and fun to small groups of supervised playful dogs that are already socialized and trained at her home. I have a 5-year old goldendoodle who she trained with a special gentle lead leash when he was pretty young. I was at my wit's end with his wild behavior but am pleased to say his behavior is much improved now after lessons & daycare with Julie.

    One thing I'm most thankful for this Thanksgiving is Sogand!! She is amazing. We didn't know what…read moreto do or who to turn to with our dog Clyde. He was usually good with people but super reactive with other dogs and animals. We got him as a puppy, he was always super high energy and reactive, even to animals on TV. We had to always try to walk him where there were no dogs or people. This past summer we went on vacation and our oldest son was watching him. He took Clyde on a walk when they saw another dog across the street, Clyde went crazy, started barking and lunging for the dog. My son got in front of him and Clyde ended up biting him several times. When we found out about the incident on vacation we had no idea what to do. We thought we had to give him up, it broke our hearts. Then I found Sogand when I was searching for trainers and options. Her reviews were great, but what sold us was our first conversation with her. We had talked to several other trainers during our initial search but no one gave us hope yet realistically assessed where Clyde was like Sogand. We were at the airport waiting to board our flight home. I'll never forget our first conversation with her. She patiently listened to us and then reassured us that Clyde was not a lost cause. She was direct and honest about her approach, and confidently said she could help Clyde. From our first session with her we knew we had made the right decision. She commanded obedience from Clyde like he had been her dog his whole life. Within 10 mins, she had him interacting with her dog and not going ballistic. This has never happened before. We have had to avoid other dogs all the time. In this first session she was able to assess several of Clyde's bad behavior and patterns and correct it. Because of the severity of his behavior and having bit our son so badly, she recommended we do the board and train for intense training. This was the best decision we ever made. Clyde came back a changed dog, and more importantly she trained us in how to train Clyde. With her help we have been able to keep up Clyde's training. We still meet with her for one on one sessions once a month to complete Clyde's trainings. The best result came yesterday at Thanksgiving, we had 22 guests and one other dog. I texted Sogand and she gave us guidance on how to handle the the event with Clyde. We followed her instructions and Clyde did amazing. People who have known Clyde said he was like a different dog. I can't recommends her enough! Her approach was just what we needed. She doesn't just train dogs, she becomes an integral part of the dog and owner's life and journey. Because of Sogand, Clyde has a new lease on life and we are able to keep our beloved dog without always fearing that something horrible will happen!!!

    Sogi was a miracle trainer to help my dog Dumpling get over his aggression issues towards other…read moredogs and people. We chose her 2 week board and train - aggression rehabilitation service, after a week her and her staff noticed my dog still being very aggressive in protecting his food bowl and she extended his training another week (no extra charge!) so she could really focus on that aspect to make sure Dumpling's aggression was addressed. Wife and I also highly recommend her private sessions after the board and train. 2-3 weeks is definitely not enough time to make sure behavior issues are completely addressed, so her sessions helped make sure we properly did our daily trainings with Dumping. Her sessions also evolved the trainings we did at home as our dog's aggression level kept going down and focus on his high alert/anxiety responses to stimuli, and try to help him associate his dopamine response to being relaxed. She also helped identify a food allergy that made him itchy, which added to his higher anxiety level. All these things added up and now our dog is a lot happier and hasn't displayed a snarl or showed his teeth in anger to anyone or any dogs in months! Thanks Sogi for helping Dumpling and us and hope this review helps others choose you over other trainers out there for their dogs.
