Read MoreBrett has been absolutely wonderful in the time my dog Bailey and my family have shared with him. He is courteous and caring when it comes to the dogs he helps.Our dog Bailey is a very reactive dog and has a past that had her in a kennel for most of her life. She had no interaction with any dogs outside of a kennel and most of those dogs also had issues of their own.Brett has helped her with her focus and her attention span has severely lengthened. She understands very well the place command and sees that as her lil' dog cave. She has also picked up the "heel" command pretty well and no longer tries to pull me around when out on a walkabout.The one on one sessions are very informative and Brett clearly demonstrates his knowledge of his business every time we meet. There are also Saturday classes to attend while and when finished with the one on one sessions. There are different levels of Saturday classes to help address the specific issues your dog may have. It's also a great opportunity to meet other dogs and their owners.Thank you Brett for helping us with lil' Bailey. Read Less

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.

Brett helped us establish a strong foundation. More recently, I noticed that my dog was shaking and panting when my family was getting ready for the day. Brett came in and helped us understand his behavior. My dog's anxiety was taking over, so we worked on more place training throughout the day and corrected his excessive sniffing during walks. Brett was able to answer my questions over text and we even zoomed once before having an in-person session. Brett does a wonderful job explaining the dog's behavior and helps the pet parents correct it by setting up new habits. Dog training requires dedication, diligence and you have to get all family members on board. I would highly recommend The Dog Savant. His methods work. Read Less

We had tried another trainer who constantly attempted to bribe him with treats and the problem never got better. Brett was able to show a better response from my dog in the first lesson. Been working with the other trainer for two months. Brett knows his stuff but expects his clients to put in the work and gets results! Read Less

Very gifted and talented dog trainer. Brett helped our leash-aggressive dog a ton. He's very in tune with dogs and their needs. Highly recommend!!

I wish I knew about Brett for my previous mastifs as he would've been very helpful. But I recommend to anyone who's willing to put the time in to ensuring your dog is well behaved as an adult. It's work , but I think it would be a million times more work later if I didn't commit now. Read Less

Prior to working with Brett my relationship with my new puppy felt totally unmanageable. After 5 sessions, I feel like I have the tools to make an amazing and rewarding bond with my dog for life.

Don't read all of the conflicting advice online, just hire Brett who has done this 1000s of times and knows exactly what he is talking about. It's worth every penny, I promise! Read Less

My dog, Nigel, had severe separation anxiety and was very reactive on the leash. The methods that once worked with a previous trainer who utilized positive reinforcement only, just weren't working anymore. Brett has taught me so much so I stay in control of situations. Nigel is now fully crate trained and is relaxed when I leave the house. We're still working on his reactivity, but he's improved so much! Brett has been so great at teaching me what to look for in my dog before he ever gives "typical" reactive signals so I can correct his behavior before he reacts. When I've had a question outside of a training session, Brett is so quick to text me back and coach me through. One of my favorite things is the weekend meet-ups/group training sessions for current and past clients and the network of other dog owners I've met through it. Would definitely recommend Brett and his training methods to any dog owners! Read Less

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. Read Less

Has been a pleasure working with Brett! You can tell how important it is to him to provide a beneficial and professional service, and how much he care's about the wellbeing of his clients' dogs and puppies.

Group classes didn't help as he was not behaved enough to join. Brett was awesome and worked with us to get our little guy Max into a better calmer state of mind. He pushed us to do the work we needed to do. We now know how to handle him on walks and with other dogs, and he is so much better. I don't have to have that dread anymore on walks when we come across another dog. Thank you so much, Brett! Read Less

Brett is the real deal, his methods give structure to a dog's life and there's no gimmicks. If you don't want to put in the work yourself, don't call Brett. He needs to train you just as much as you need to train your dog. But if you actually want to correct your dogs behavior or anxiety or socialize your dog properly into the world then you need to stick to what Brett says, put the work in for a few months and then you'll have a true companion for life.

Brett loves dogs, you can tell he genuinely cares about them. He's great with communication, reliable, always answers you and genuinely wants your dog to be the best version of dog he can be. If you start working with Brett, just trust him. He's seen it all, trained every type of dog. He knows exactly what your dog needs to succeed.

The best part about Brett is he's practical he understands your lifestyle he understands you're busy or that your living arrangement is X or Y and your dog needs to be built up for that type of setting.

We tried other trainers who literally had us make bark sounds at the dog, use the pet corrector spray can, stuff his face with treats, we even had a trainer tell us "it's just the type of breed, he's going to bark". Brett solved that by giving our dog structure so now he's content and calm but it takes a lot of work to get there. Thanks again Brett. I wish I had known about you sooner! Read Less

Read MoreThis review is long overdue and I really don't know why I haven't posted sooner. I also want to say I could never have posted and I'm sure in reality it wouldn't make a huge difference, but the fact is this training is still positively impacting my family, so I thought about this once again and had to post. I was a client years back with an adopted pit bull from the shelter and a shih tzu. My pit bull was a young full grown dog and mouthing really bad, even snapping. Today my children feed my dog, he does not mouth at all, walks straight into his kennel, has order and coexists beautiful in our family. We had small children and training was important to us. To this day we are still using what Brett instilled in us, the pet owners. It really has a lot to do with our own behaviors. Thank you Brett! Your training is still appreciated years later.

We were unable to sustain a change with their methods over the last 2 years. He is a powerful dog and I was very concerned that we would never be able to be in public with him. After 2 sessions with Brett, we attended a class with 25 dogs!! I'm serious. It was incredible. Our dog was completely calm and walked safely in the pack with other dogs large and small. Our previous training encouraged mostly avoidance (which may work for some) but Brett taught us how to intentionally and safely expose him and retrain his responses. Thank you Brett! We have learned a lot and highly recommend your training program. Read Less

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. Read Less

She is still young and full of energy but our experience with Brett has definitely made walks and socialization better. He taught me that consistency is key. We did our sessions at home, workplace, parks, outside of a coffee shop and around heavy pedestrian traffic, the hardware store, and at group training at the park. Many of the training and corrections were needed on my part, the human! I highly recommend him. Read Less

Read MoreI started working with Brett as I have a sassy dachshund / beagle mix and a pit mix who has problems with leash aggression. I had worked with other trainers in the past for the leash aggression specifically and found that none of the methods proved to be effective. I was introduced to Brett through a few friends who were also clients of his.

After our first initial meeting, I was completely sold as he was exceptionally knowledgeable on pups and their various problems. We worked together for months and each session the pups and I would work on new skills. There's no doubt I needed to put work in with the pups in between sessions, but it truly paid off in every sense of the word. Not only is he great at training your dogs, he trains you as well!

Because of Brett, we are able to do hikes and long walks knowing that I can control any situation presented. I am so beyond grateful for our one- on-one classes, but I also love that he sets up group sessions for all clients free of charge. The best part is, we are all able to work with dogs of various breeds in a social setting and there is no judgement should a pup have a slip up. He has created a really nice community of people! I could not recommend working with him enough!! Read Less

Brett gives guidance on how to properly train your dog, but it's up to you as a pet parent to continue the training. He's great! If you're on top of it, you'll see results!

Excellent trainer who knows what makes dogs tick.
