"We are grateful we found Brian! We looked at different dog training places, but nothing felt right to us with our 3 biewer terrier puppies, until a veterinary clinic recommended Brian to us. They have had great success working with Brian, plus we took great comfort that he is licensed and certified. Thus he knows what is best for your dog! We are learning so much about our puppies and how to provide the best home and environment for their individual needs. Learning about their L.E.G.S.(Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self) has been so eye opening. Brian’s kindness, wealth of knowledge and resources has been providing us with a whole new understanding about our dogs' needs. Which will help us to have a wonderful lifelong relationship with our dogs. We highly recommend working with Brian!"
