About
I do on-site consultations and training. My primary focus is on walking related issues, jumping on people, nipping/biting, chewing furniture and clothing etc. and other related concerns. All I do is work with pets and owners to resolve the most common problems. I have more than 45 years of experience. --- I give discounts to Police, Fire, EMT, Teachers, Nurses and Service Men and Women ---!
I offer the best overall prices in the area because I don't have a brick and mortar store. That simple. I only do humane dog training as well.
If you are truly interested in hiring a dog trainer at this time please feel free to reach out to me. But please have the courtesy to share conversation on the app. Too many people on Thumbtack are just inquiring about prices. As a pro on Thumbtack I get charged a fee just for replying to you.

Working with Bruce was a wonderful experience. He helped me tremendously in the training of my stubborn beagle Harper. I am now able to walk my dog with no problem and my dog has stopped. Trying to get out the front door every time I leave. I highly recommend Bruce to help train any dog. You need help training.

Bruce is great and we learned a lot of new ways to correct our puppy with positive reinforcement from him. Highly recommend!

I would start with talking to previous customers with respect. I don’t think his plan was ever going to work with the dog. Honestly, if anything we all think the dog was more scared of us and our other dog after. His whole plan is just screaming at the dog then giving them treats a when they’re good. Also he completely ripped us off by charging us $175 for a “consultation”.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I simply offer the best pricing in the area because I do not have a brick and mortar store for which I need to pay rent or gas and electric.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first meeting with every customer is one and one half hours for dog evaluation, signing the contract and so that we can start working with the behaviors that you the owner or family want to remediate.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have more than 40 years of experience with dog training. I use humane dog training approaches, food, TLC, noise and voice commands. I rarely if ever use shock collars, or metal pronged collars.
