About Brian..
Brian is a dedicated dog trainer with decades of hands-on experience, blending his own proven techniques with balanced, trauma-informed training. His approach isn’t just about obedience—it’s about helping both dogs and their owners connect, grow, and get in touch with their true nature.
Since 1998, Brian has worked in animal hospitals, shelters, and alongside expert trainers, refining his methods through years of trial and error. Twice certified by the CCPDT, he is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and has attended seminars and trials across the country. Currently competing in Mondioring, he also enjoys learning and teaching decoy work.
Brian’s training integrates traditional techniques with holistic practices like breathwork and nervous system regulation. As a certified yoga teacher and breathwork instructor, he understands how human emotions influence canine behavior. By working with him, you’ll learn to co-regulate with your dog—creating a deeper, more fulfilling relationship.
He offers in-person and online coaching tailored to your needs, whether you’re managing reactivity, refining sport skills, or simply looking to build a stronger bond. If you’re ready to transform your relationship with your dog—and yourself—Brian is here to help.
