About
I have a very calm assertive approach to teaching both your dog and you as the owner. I make our training/walk time special more than any other time of the day. I LOVE animals. I love the fact that I get to do a job on a daily basis that incorporates that. When I am with a client, that is where all my focus is. On you and on your dog. I strive to show you not only what your dog can do but what a wonderful Pack Leader you can be. When you and your dog succeed I feel a personal pride for both owner and canine. I stay in touch with many of my clients and they know they can contact me anytime they have a question even after the training experience is over. I have many return clients for other services such as vacation services, under way services and a drop-in service that became a day care service. I am fascinated by animal behavior and love to watch how dogs interact with each other. They teach me something new everyday and they are never judgemental.

Before training with Brenda at Doggie Zen, my high energy lab/terrier mix Phoebe was an out of control, destructive, ill mannered puppy. She was sweet and lovable, but it had no clue how to "civilize" her and make her a good dog citizen. After our first training session with Brenda at Doggie Zen, I saw immediate changes. After several more sessions, she is a different dog. As a trainer, Brenda is competent, calm , patient, and knowledgeable. She had my dog's rapt attention the first time she walked into my home. She has earned my dogs love and respect, and mine too. In reality, I think I am the one who has learned the most because Doggie Zen trains the dog and the owner. The training has met and far exceeded my expectations. I can highly recommend Brenda and Doggie Zen.

Brenda was awesome!!!! My dogs adored her. She came over 3 times a day for the week we were gone, fed them , groomed them, walked them in addition to taking care of my cats also. She kept a daily journal and texted me several times during our trip to keep me from worrying. She took great care of everything! I couldn't have asked for better!

I hired Doggie Zen when I went out of town on a trip. This was the first time I had left my babies alone and was a bit unsure at first. During my trip I received updates and pictures which helped a tone. Most recently I had an emergency and need a sister immediate. Doggie Zen went above and beyond helping me and I wouldn't think of using anyone else to care for my dogs!

I am very pleased with Brenda and her training skills. She suggested a plan to teach my Duncan how to cope with distractions, confidence and greeting etiquette and has followed through wonderfully. In just a few visits she and Duncan have bonded well and he is showing great improvement! A few months later and we've adopted a third dog and of course Brenda is our 'go to' for his needs as well. After a couple of visits she uncovered some hidden talents in our little Eddie. He can back-flip, sit, shake, lay-down all on command!
Doggie Zen's reply
What can I say about these three? Christina is a pure princess in every sense of the word. She is pure sugar sweet and is top dog in the house. Duncan-munch is coming along so well. He is more confident every time I see him. I love to watch him bloom!! And last, but not least - Eddie Spaghetti. The first day I met him he was not to sure about me. Imagine my surprise when the second time over he could not wait to jump in my arms with kisses. All of these dogs are rescues. Their human parents are amazing and have given these dogs a wonderful new life!!! ADOPT A SHELTER ANIMAL!! They will amaze you if given the chance!! I love working with this family!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Brenda is great with my dog Bradley who is in training and he does very well with her. She is so very good with him. She really knows her stuff! She has helped me allot with training me so I am able to train Bradley when she is not here. She has always made herself available to me. I have seen much improvement in Bradley since he has been in training. I highly recommend Brenda and Doggie Zen!
