Introduction
Training dogs is a relatively easy accomplishment if you know the secrets. I share these secrets and educate my clients on how to communicate with their dogs to get the reactions they desire. Training and learning for a dog is a lifelong event and the tools I leave with my clients posture them to be successful in all future desired training. Training and obedience is actually a byproduct once you establish the proper "owner and dog" relationship. This is a simple philosophy which works wonders and so many dog owners are not aware of. My biggest pleasure is seeing a client grow closer to their dog once they have developed this relationship. I have a great passion for dogs and unfortunately many dogs end up in shelters because of problems that developed in which their owners don't know how to address. Whenever I can educate dog owners why a dog does the things he does and how to stop it, I am saving a wonderful creature from possibly being turned over to a shelter. I volunteer at a shelter and I see many, many great dogs there that if I had a chance to talk with the owners beforehand, may have ended up differently. Any time I can improve a relationship between an owner and their dog, I am ecstatic.

It was wonderful working with Brian Hunter. My puppy loved him and I enjoyed learning how to train my dog. He was encouraging and professional and spent whatever time was necessary to complete the leaning experience. Iwould hire him again.

I have a large Great Dane who I was anxious about walking or taking her in the car after I broke my leg and arm after she pulled me down. I thought I would have to rehome her but I didn’t want to give her up as she is a very sweet dog. I found Brian and in a few short sessions he completely turned her around.He trained both of us using various methods and now I can walk her without any difficulty.She gets in and out of the car easily and has become the dog I can enjoy and love.This is all because of Brian and my dog loved him.If you have a problem dog don’t give up.Ask Brian for help and you will be eternally grateful as am I.

I was hesitant at first to call a personal dog trainer, but when I saw Brian’s many 5 star reviews I thought I would give it a chance. I had done lots of work on my own with my 1.5 year old pug, Charlotte. She knew a lot of the basic and important training but her behavior was really hard to manage. She soon became leash aggressive and was fearful and at times, quite aggressive towards visitors and new people. Brian came in and immediately took control of Charlotte. He used his calm, slow approach to get her to warm up towards him and not see him as a threat. In just one session, we got her to walk better on a leash than I could have imagined! That seem week she even managed to give kisses to the person she once bit. It was a complete 360. He trained us is the end to be able to deal with her behaviors, and answered all of our questions very knowledgeably. You can also tell he loves dogs and loved what he does, which I think is important. I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone needing help training a dog. Thank you again! - Amanda & Charlotte.
