5 star ratingWe 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.

5 star ratingI sincerely doubt you'll find an Anchorage dog trainer who cares more about their profession and provides the level of expertise and care to customers as Brett. Anyone looking for Anchorage dog training should at least take a moment to check with Brett about his services and experience. Will be worth the minute or two in order to track down the best possible trainer for your dog's particular needs. Just my 2 cents.

5 star ratingMy husband and I adopted a 2 1/2 year old Jackapoo, Val, at the beginning of covid. She came with some pretty bad leash reactivity. We tried 2 other trainers before Brett and saw little to no improvement. We have now been working with Brett for 2 weeks and it is night and day. We can now take her to the park and even out to eat and she is a calm dog. I can not thank Brett enough for literally changing our lives!

5 star ratingCall Brett NOW! Searching for a dog trainer is not easy. Out of chance, we called Brett for our 5 year old Terrier mix.... we are extremely lucky we came across his yelp page.

We have used three other trainers with very little progression in calming Napoli's leash aggression, improving socialization skills, and decreasing anxiety.

After the FIRST session with Brett we understood why Napoli is so reactive and how we can correct the behavior without treats!!

For Napoli's situation, the treats were making the situation worse. Before Brett we had no idea how to deal with her behavior without using treats. No more treat pouches and messy pockets for us!

Game changer!

5 star ratingThis 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.

5 star ratingI highly recommend Brett and am happy to share our experience working with him.

We found Brett online about 5 years ago when we were looking for a trainer to help with our dog who had growing separation anxiety. After an initial consultation, we hired Brett for 6 sessions, and were able to include our puppy for no additional charge. Brett is intuitive, knowledgeable, and a really good teacher. Brett "warned" us that he was going to spend as much time training us as our dogs. I saw pretty quickly that I hadn't been telling and showing our dogs what I expect of them, which left them to make their own decisions and made them really anxious. We've since hired Brett to train two other dogs, and have recommended him to friends. Brett also has free Saturday group training sessions for his current and former clients.

5 star ratingMy boyfriend found Brett online after searching tirelessly for a dog trainer that seemed passionate and also knowledgable. Brett was very straight forward even from the first conversation on the phone we knew what we were getting into. We bought the 5 sessions which is great because he comes to your home and included in the sessions are free yes FREE!! Saturday puppy training classes that he does in Griffith park with the rest of his clients and dogs. This is great because we were able to have a one on one during the week then take our dog Bronx to the park to reinforce what was previously taught. Now on to the training...initially our dog Bronx did not respond to walking on the leash as it was foreign to him being only 3 months. The first training session Bronx seemed a little stressed out trying to understand the concept of walking on the leash. But literally the next day I decided to try to put him on the leash and just walk down the street and instead we got all the way around the block! I was so impressed and Bronx was doing so well so fast!!! The next few sessions Brett focused on sit and down commands which Bronx has now mastered thanks to him! Brett was honestly a lifesaver and by teaching our puppy how to listen to us he really just made him more easy to love. I can't thank Brett enough for being patient, knowledgable, and passionate about what he does. It truly shows in his work! I would recommend him to anyone looking to train their pup or dog!

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!

A Note to Alaskans: Brett has moved to The Last Frontier where he can better serve Alaska residents full time. While catering to Hollywood and Silicon Valley elites was a fantastic opportunity, his 30+ years experience with challenging dog behaviors is now available to residents from Anchorage to Talkeetna. There’s no place like home… in ALASKA!

We'd love to hear from you.
