Brian is the absolute best. He's trained our family members dogs and we just got a puppy (Golden) and knew we'd be calling for training and tips. Brian trains your dog and teaches you how to be a successful owner/trainer. His approach is gentle and he really cares about the process of getting to know your dogs routine including crate training, number of meals per day and quantity of food at meals, time spent outside and exercising (walks, playing, training, etc.), socialization, use of toys and what toys, and best of all he answers any and all of your questions without judgement. He suggests tips for good treats, training supports, and items that will be helpful. Everything Brian suggested are things that our puppy and older 8 year old dog love! read more

In the very first session we learned so much from Brian! By the second session my dog has improved his behavior significantly. Brian is a very knowledgeable and friendly person and is able to help his clients without making them feel awkward or uneducated. I am really impressed with him, his skills and ability, and his services. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed! read more

Brian is knowledgeable and has a genuine love for training your dog. I highly recommend his services.

We honestly cannot say enough good things about Brian!!! If you live in the area, look no further. He started training our Pembroke Welsh Corgi at 7 months and the difference we've seen in her is incredible. She was having some issues with pulling on walks, possessiveness, and general behavior. After 10 sessions with Brian, she is truly a changed dog. Brian is kind, patient, and most importantly very friendly and easy to get along with. You can really tell that he is passionate about what he does. He taught us many tips and tricks that we use every day and would never have known without him. We will definitely be leaving our pup with Brian the next time we go on vacation! read more

At first we thought LA dog experts was great but then quickly realized it was a complete waste of money . We have a Korean Jindo who is meat farm rescue. We knew it would be a lot of work since she displayed a lot of in home aggression towards our other dog so we bought a training package since we knew it would be a long process. I should've known when the first thing he did was instigate our jindo to attack our other dog to "see what would happen" he did not have our Jindo wear a muzzle to protect my dog. Nor did he help break up the dogs. His suggestion to help was to scare our jindo into a corner by shaking a bottle with coins and then flaked on all our next training sessions. We tried for weeks to set up the next session since what he gave us was not working, but he kept flaking. We gave up on him and found a trainer that knew how to actually help us. Seems like other than teaching a dog how to walk on leash he has no experience with behavioral issues. Since finding our other trainer our dogs have been happy and have a stable home life and are actually excited to train. For a trainer that says they only use positive reinforcement scarring a dog out of doing a behavior seems pretty negative. read more

We called Brian at La Dog Experts to help out with Ollie, our 1 year old Corgi. Ollie would pull while on leash, bark and go nuts when he saw other people and dogs. We couldn't take him anywhere. Too out of control. That's where Brian came to the rescue. Its amazing how much he knows about how and why dogs behave the way they do. And more importantly how to change their behavior. So after several lessons Ollie is a completely different dog now. A good example is we take him to The Commons in Calabasas and he behaves perfectly. No more barking and pulling on the leash. We worked on other bad habits he had and we don't see them anymore. All it took was a knowledgable trainer like Brian and some work on our end and its amazing how Ollie has changed so quickly. We highly recommend Brian and LA Dog Experts. read more

My pupper Millie and I both loved our experience with them, Brian is great! Super calm and friendly! We did the training walks and I can't say enough about how much Millie enjoyed her training. We love our walks now and have a great time together doing all the things together! read more

Brian was a game changer for our family. When we adopted our adorable puppy she was a destruction dog with severe separation anxiety. She thought that carpet was the same as grass and wanted to water it. Every time she was left alone she either peed on the carpet or chewy holes in it or ate baseboards or walls. Needless to say we were close to giving her away and then we found Brian. His way of bring the whole family together to be on the same page to train her and the steps he showed us were game changers. She now pees on command, lets us know when she needs to go out, is completely potty trained and is no longer destroying our house. He also helped to train her to sit, stay, lay, walk on a leash and fetch a toy among other things. The best part was all of this was done in a very positive way. I would highly suggest him and thank him for the amazing puppy we now have. read more

I would highly recommend LA Dog Experts for training. We rescued a new GSD puppy and did not know what we were in for. I had hired another trainer and was not happy with the results. Brian had come highly recommended from 2 people I know. He took the time to get to know all of our challenges and needs of what we wanted. He tailored the training to how we want to raise our beautiful new baby girl. He was kind and patient. In our first session he taught us more than our first unsuccessful trainer. I could not have been any happier and pleased. My little Sierra is now almost 6 months and on my walk this morning I was complemented by 2 people about how well behaved she was for a puppy. If you are in need of training for your puppy or any age dog I highly recommend LA Dog Experts. read more

I recommend LA DogExperts with all my heart. I have 2 extremely large dogs who are very active and I am not strong enough to walk them both at the same time. When I met Brian, he told me he could walk them both. Every week he walks both of my pups. My dogs get so excited when they see Brian's car driving up and they love their walks! It makes me so happy to make them so happy. Brian is wonderful, he's caring and patient! We all love him. read more

Brian is THE REAL DEAL!!! He is truly a dog whisper. I got a Boxer puppy and thought I could train him on my own. 2 months later I realized I needed a professional. I would constantly see Brian with other dogs at the Commons in Calabasas and finally decided to book a package. After just one session I immediately saw a difference in my pup. Brian really tailors his trainings to your specific needs and teaches you the psychology behind all of the key takeaways. LA Dog experts also transported my dog across country from LA to New York. This was hands down the best experience I could have asked for. Transports are insanely expensive and you really don't know what you are getting (believe me, I did my research). Brian really worked with me on competitive pricing and I knew he was in good hands with Gina! My dog got the VIP treatment. Gina is AMAZING. She met up with my pup twice ahead of time to get familiar with him and go over the instruction guide I created for her. She has so much experience with dogs and does a lot of LA Dog Expert's overnights. Gina was super professional, constantly sent me updates, photos and videos. She made sure Winston was fed 3x a day, stopped for bathroom breaks and administered medication. She also shared her location the entire time so I could track where they were. I can't recommend LA Dog Experts enough. I'm so grateful!! read more

I highly recommend LA Dog Experts! I have a 6 month old Sheepadoodle, Pepper, who started training with Brian when she was 3 months old. Not only has he trained her to be so well behaved, he also taught me how to continue the training when he's not around. Brian is so passionate about animals and it truly shows when he's working with Pepper. He will ask what you want your dog to do and what not to do and he will train them to do just that! He uses positive reinforcements with lots of treats and is so patient! We have sessions at my home as well as in public so Pepper gets used to strangers and different surroundings. Thank you LA Dog Experts for making the puppy stage so fun and easy! read more

Our pups are some onery little guys; adorable, but stubborn. We adopted them at ages 5 and 2 a few months ago and someone from the rescue referred us to Brian @ L.A. Dog Experts. I am SO glad they did! He has worked WONDERS with our poodles mixes in such a short time! They now sit and wait for their food on command (a real game-changer) and have much better leash control. Using his methods, I was even able to teach them additional commands and tricks on my own. I really can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Brian is kind confident helpful encouraging and professional .We adopted our dog almost two months ago and started with Brian right away. Our dog Vita had been in a shelter for a long enough time that she was unable to do her business outside. She has trust issues and randomly nips. Brian came forward with grace and ease reminding me it would just take a little time but everything would be ok.He jumped in and helped beyond. Vita loves him and responds positively to all his commands. Training with Brian has been successful and also very encouraging. He is knowledgeable and caring he also Has taken several phone calls and answers texts when I have had questions. I highly recommend Brian. Promise you will Benefit from Brian's knowledge and training. Enjoy! read more

This is the first time we have ever used a trainer. Our GSD is very smart and we thought we could train her ourselves. But she lunges and charges other dogs when on leash. Tried everything we could but found we were avoiding walks cause so traumatic for us,her and anyone we passed. Brian came and right away we could see it was a good match. He had her under control in a minute but most important helped us see what we were doing correctly and what we weren't. He is very professional and def knows his job. Reasonable too. read more

Can't recommend enough! Brian is not only highly informative, but also very patient. He listened to all of our concerns and helped us with knowledge on training, crating and the puppy's anxiety. We were in a difficult situation and Brian helped coordinate us a plan. He delivered follow-through and shows support by checking in. He sincerely cares about the progress and well-being of our puppy and that care is invaluable. read more

LA Dog Experts has been SUCH a pleasure to work with. Brian is so knowledgeable and really helped us find a rhythm with our new puppy. He worked with our kids to build confidence around dogs, set up a system so our 13yr old dog didn't get tackled by our puppy, and helped our puppy get thru her "teenager phase". I'm so glad we worked with him as he really listened to what our concerns were and trained our puppy at home where it made the biggest impact. If you are looking for a dog trainer, Brian is as good as they come. read more

Brian is an amazing trainer! I wholeheartedly recommend LA Dog Experts. I didn't for a minute dream that my two rescue pups could be trained to walk so beautifully together on leash, but Brian managed it! He has helped us with other issues of barking, and leaping at other dogs. My dogs love Brian, and that is so lovely. He was always available to chat or text between sessions. Brian came highly recommended and now I know why. Working with Brian was life changing for us. read more

Brian is the best dog trainer ever!! One of the coolest things he taught my puppy was to go to the bathroom on command. He is very professional and all dogs love him. Brian was willing to meet me at my house, park, or wherever I wanted. He is very flexible and easy-going. My puppy and 12-year-old dog were not getting along at all and Brian helped them become best friends. I bought 5 sessions to begin and then I was hooked and bought another 5. Having a well-trained dog is priceless! Brian is worth every cent. I highly recommend LA Dog Experts! read more

Brian is an outstanding dog handler. We have known him since our dog was 3 months old. He is kind and professional and reliable. We find him to be very responsive. Our retriever likes him and he clearly has a lot of experience w canines. We couldn't be happier and give him a great recommendation! read more

Brian has been working with our two dogs for the past two months. Not only are our dogs so excited to see Brian, we have seen great results. Our labradoodle has been afraid of people and would constantly bark at anyone who comes to our house. In the last few weeks she has allowed people to pet her and is very calm around strangers. Brian is her 5th dog trainer and with Brian's positive approach we are seeing results we never thought would be possible. We are also seeing wonderful results with our year old puppy. Before Brian started working with her, she was getting into trouble every day and would not listen to most of our commands. Since working with Brian she is much more responsive to us and will almost always come to us when we call her. This has been amazing as she is a very high energy dog that wants to get into everything. We are very grateful for Brian and only wish we called him sooner. read more
