Success Stories

We really appreciate Brett's intuitive, tough, yet zen like approach.
He has been successful at training our 2 dogs and teaching us how to lead them both to that special zone of peaceful calm, allowing them to be more responsive to our basic commands. No coddeling, no treats, just real, efficient & compassionate leadership. His method is really working for us.

Brett is exceptional at what he does and completely changed our perspective about dog training. We had been struggling with our reactive dog for almost a year until we found Brett. Our first session was eye opening and I’ll never forget our conversation about helping dogs live in our human world. He came to our home in West Hollywood for several sessions before we started to venture out in new places around LA. Our dog is MUCH happier and our bond with her is much stronger after our time with Brett. His group classes were also immensely helpful. Almost three years after we had first met Brett, we reached out for advice for our new puppy. We had moved to a different state, but he was still able to help via video calls! We feel very lucky to have worked with Brett and will be forever grateful for his help. His podcast is also very entertaining and full of valuable information!

Brett is the real LA Dog Whisperer! My dog was so aggressive towards other dogs and people that I ended up having to walk him early in the morning and late at night to avoid any bad situation. I hired another trainer who wouldn't even talk about the problem and just used a bunch of treats that seemed to only make my dog excited or upset. The vet told us put the poor dog down because there was too many problems. This was so upsetting because I knew he was a good boy and totally misunderstood. I called Brett and he immediately seemed like he knew exactly what was going down and was experienced with these type of behaviors. We talked for nearly 20 minutes! He came over and took charge immediately! As soon as he started working with Spencer he seemed like a different dog! Brett explained how his problems weren't what they seemed and he just needed to learn how to process information differently to not become so overstimulated which was causing his aggression and anxiety in the 1st place. He is continuing to teach me how to make the changes needed to continue his rehabilitation process. As a professional, Brett genuinely cares about dogs and his clients. He is always on time and passionate about what he does. I have been working together for about a month now and he's a solid guy!

It's probably not an exaggeration to say that Brett saved my dog's life--or at the very least helped me save his life.

I adopted a 3-year-old husky/corgi back in December, and quickly found I was in over my head. He was unsocialized, aggressive, and out of control. A "red-zone" dog, as you might call them. Within 3 weeks, he was running the house. My boyfriend and I couldn't hug or kiss without him growling and trying to get between us. He was snapping and biting to get his way, coveting his food, toys, and bed. I was living in constant terror that he would bite someone and seriously injure them and I'd end up having to put him down.

On week four, my boyfriend and I met with Brett and he gave us a no-nonsense training plan to work through. My dog started behaving differently almost immediately. Brett explained that my dog was not calculatingly aggressive--just dominant-minded and fearful. Over the next 2 and a half months, Brett taught us how to work through a host of problems, step-by-step, always game to answer the million questions we had every week and take our calls and texts in-between sessions. My dog is now much more relaxed and obedient, and his aggression has almost completed dissipated. I figured my dog would improve, but I never thought he'd be totally rehabilitated. We're not quite there yet, but I can see graduation day on the horizon if we continue to implement the lessons we learned from Brett and stay consistent.

I have no doubt that without Brett's help, my dog would have faced serious, imminent risk of euthanasia--and not because he was a bad dog. He was just neglected and improperly raised. I fear most other trainers would have given up or been unable to help him, but Brett really put in the time and effort. My dog is so much happier now, and so are we.

Brett has been amazing for us and our Malinois/GSD mix. We had used 4 different trainers prior all teaching us some variation of positive reinforcement/ treat-based training which DID NOT work for our dog. He became over stimulated and aggressive. When Brett arrived for our first session within the first 30 minutes he had our dog more relaxed then he has ever been. Brett gave us practical tips to work on with our dog and he has been an amazing dog for us after Brett's training. I highly recommend Brett and his method of dog training

I don't often write reviews but every once in a rare while I encounter a person, product, or service so exceptional I feel I owe it to the world to get the word out. Brett is just such a find. He has an astonishingly profound understanding of what makes dogs tick and how to fix problems that no other trainers will touch. We have a rescue dog with big aggression issues and Brett got right to the core of the problem, explained everything to us in comprehensible, accessible terms and gave us exercises to use to break bad habits and teach new positive behaviors. If you have a dog, you owe it to them and yourself to seek out Brett and finally understand what real dog training is all about. Highly, unequivocally, and unreservedly recommended!

Brett is definitely the leader of the pack! Honestly, his training style (for both the pups AND myself) is impeccable. I can't run out of great things to say. From consulting before we made our decision about which pup to make a part of our family and through each stage of development he's been an absolute godsend!

Brett is fantastic - my dog improved greatly after one-on-one training and now we attend his monthly group class where my dog gets to socialize and continue practicing his learned behavioral skills.

This review is going to be so bubbly that you might think it is fake, but I assure you it's not.

Brett took a massive problem our dog was having with leash reactivity and turned it around overnight. I cannot tell you how grateful we are for the simple tools he gave us to create this positive change in our dog. It's like a having a different dog.

Furthermore (unlike many dog trainers in LA), he is not JUST training with treats. He is giving you the skills to solve the issue with or without treats. This is massive as you won't have to walk around with a bag of treats for the rest of your life and you won't have to stress when you dog is too anxious to pay attention to the treats anyway.

There is always more work to do, but he got us (almost instantly) 95% of the way there. Absolutely worth every single dollar.

Hire him. He is legit.
