Introduction: Hi, My name is Bruce and I am a professional dog trainer with over 25 years experience helping people better understand their dogs. There are very few dog trainers who have the experience I have and are able to communicate with dogs on the level I do. My main concern when training dogs is that they stay in the same family their entire life. My approach to training is to put the tools and knowledge in the hands of the dog owners so they can continue the training and deal with any future issues that may come up. My sessions are normally two hours. It's important to me in having a part with getting dogs adopted out of these animal shelters and never going back.

Bruce was great! Very nice man, obviously really loves dogs and very patient. My 7 month old puppy Hank (chocolate lab) can be a handful and Bruce was very kind and patient with him. I would absolutely recommend Bruce for dog training.

Time and money well spent . I interviewed 3 different trainers and Bruce is the one we chose to come in to our home to train us humans and our 2 pups! He hit the mail on the head when he said “training takes place on both ends of the leash”… after having owned several dogs over the years, Bruce gave us some “tools” for our toolbox. Worked with the pups right away ! Looking forward to using all the tips and touching back with Bruce in a couple of weeks

Bruce is an outstanding dog trainer! Do not hesitate to hire him! He was punctual and gave us great advice on puppy issues such as potty training, how to stop unwanted behaviors, and much more. He recommended the necessary tools to buy to help us train our 4 months old puppy. He is very personable and bonded with our puppy immediately. He obviously has a lot of experience. He even very generously invited us to call him on the phone at no charge in the future, should wen need more help. We thoroughly enjoyed his visit and appreciated all his advice!

He was calm and sincere which put us and Anoki at ease! He reinforced the positives and had suggestions for all of us. We are more confident in our ability to manage and train Anoki now. He assured us that he was a phone call away and ready to help.

Highly recommend! I have two new puppies, one of which picked up some bad housetraining habits from his foster and even with my experience fostering myself I was unable to get a handle on it via my usual methods. Bruce was great, he responded to my inquiry within 15 minutes, he was able to fit me in just a few days later, he was on time, he was friendly, professional and I never felt like he was 'watching the clock'! What I think I liked the best was that he sat back and watched the puppies for a spell as well as checking out where they spend their days and their nights all before making any suggestions. He spoke from years of experience and didn't make me feel bad for not being able to accomplish house training on my own. So far everything he suggested has been 100% on target and we've seen about a 60% decrease in inside accidents and its only been about 2.5 days since we were trained! I highly, highly recommend Bruce for any of your Good Boy/Girl needs!
