Brooke is quite wonderful. At times all business but with a heart of gold and a friendly rapport. I'm a psychotherapist. Well, so is she, attending to training dogs and attending to/training their owners. Her love of dogs is clear from the moment she meets them. My dog is working toward becoming a service dog (he's 5 yrs old) and he's learning faster than I expected. He adores her and is very happy when he's "working" which for him is fun and he gets to please her, which pleases him. We both are loving every minute with Brooke. Can't recommend her highly enough!!! You won't be disappointed. read more

I just want to say that I found the best dog trainer in the desert. Brooke is amazing! My Goldendoodle was dropped off for puppy training, and she was happy and excited when I dropped her off. One thing I really appreciated was being able to watch what my puppy learned after class was over. Seeing her progress made the experience even better. Brooke also shared great advice and tips to help me care for and continue working with my puppy at home. In such a short amount of time, my puppy learned so many new commands like sit, down, and come. I can't wait to see everything else she learns in class. I would definitely recommend Brooke to anyone looking for puppy training. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly has a passion for what she does. Her love for working with dogs really shows in her work. read more

FIVE STAR REVIEW I cannot recommend Brooke Fagel, owner of Majestic Dog Training, enough! We have a very sensitive 22-month-old Whoodle named Kazzi and were struggling with his loss of attention when leash walking, recall, reactivity, and crazy barking when people came to the door.We have only had two lessons with Brooke so far, and the difference is night and day. She uses positive reinforcement methods that Kazzi responds to beautifully, and the results speak for themselves. While we are still actively working on these behaviors, things are already getting much, much better; he was actually listening to me rather than pulling to see another dog. Brooke tailored basic commands specifically to Kazzi's needs and gave us practical, stress-free tools to handle the reactivity. Not only is Brooke an exceptional trainer, but she is very easy to communicate with; her instructions to help me train Kazzi have been very clear and easy to understand. It is evident that Brooke absolutely loves dogs and wants you to have a loving relationship with your dog. If you want a trainer who uses rewarding, highly effective methods and delivers noticeable results incredibly fast, look no further! read more

We have worked with Brooke for a short time now and she has been nothing but professional and attentive to our five year old dachsund. She provided tailored training for our dog and understands how different stressors impact our little guy. Couldn't be happier to work with Brooke and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog trainer in the Coachella Valley! read more

If you are in the Coachella Valley and have a dog that needs training there is no question, you need to contact Brooke. To say she is a dog whisperer is an understatement. Our puppy loves her! Every minute our puppy spends with her is a thousand minutes more of bliss in our home. We have seen a complete transformation in 2 months and we are just getting started. Forget the puppy, I just want to go for the training. Although Brooke is training our puppy, the training we are receiving is even more important. Just contact Brooke today, so you can rest tomorrow . read more

Hashbrown and I are so grateful for Brooke! Hashbrown came from a local shelter, timid and scared. With Brooke's patience and expertise, I'm learning how to help Hashbrown gain confidence and feel safe in her new home. I appreciate Brooke's gentle approach to dog training and look forward to seeing Hashbrown live up to her full potato potential!! read more

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Brooke at Majestic Dog Training! We enrolled our 1-year-old heeler, and the transformation has been remarkable. Brooke isn't just a dog trainer -- she's a gifted teacher for both dogs and owners. Her gentle, positive reinforcement approach put our pup at ease right away, and we felt supported learning how to continue the training at home. Since working with Brooke, our dog has become such a little gentleman. His manners, focus, and behavior have improved so much, and our bond with him has grown stronger because of her guidance. She also helped build his confidence. He used to be timid on walks, and now he proudly struts around our Boulder neighborhood with ease. Watching his confidence grow has been incredible. We are so grateful we found Brooke. If you're looking for a compassionate, effective, and knowledgeable dog trainer in Boulder or Louisville, we highly recommend Majestic Dog Training. You and your pup will be so glad you did! read more

Brooke at Majestic Dog Training is amazing. She knew about my Belgian Malinois's behaviors before I even knew how to put them into words. It's clear right away that she truly understands dogs and why they do what they do. She's calm, patient, and really easy to talk to, and she explains things in a way that actually makes sense. Watching how well-behaved and happy her own dogs are says everything about the way she trains! If you're looking for someone in Boulder who genuinely cares, knows what she's doing, and loves dogs as much as we all do, Brooke is the real deal! read more

Brooke is such a talented, caring and patient trainer. We are grateful we found her! There are so many trainers out there, we weren't sure how to go about choosing one. After one session with our new puppy, we understood what sets Brooke apart. She is so positive and loving with Coco that she can't wait to go back. Each session builds upon the last and Coco's confidence and behavior gets better each time. We trust Brooke and love her approach to training. We are sure our time with her will help to ensure a stronger bond and better quality of life with our Coco. Thank you Brooke! read more

Brooke Fagel is the BEST! I have worked with numerous dog trainers in LA and Palm Springs, and have quite a bit of experience trying to train my crew. My dogs love Brooke. She is so patient with the pups and they have learned so much from her. She is also patient and clear explaining things to me - the dog mom. I highly recommend Brooke for your dogs of all ages. read more

I love Brooke. She's passionate about dogs. Especially if they behave. That's whet she come in as a trainer. Im very happy with her results with my dog. She's a good communicator to the dog owner. I feel like I'm being trained as well. read more

I can not recommend Brooke more highly. We rescued a poodle mix and sought help from Brooke for our pup's reactivity. From the moment we met her, she has put both me and our dog at ease. She is smart as can be about dog behavior, full of positivity yet realistic about what is possible, a wealth of knowledge, supportive, sweet, and lovely. She has made a rather stressful situation feel manageable, and she is constantly there to offer encouragement and very helpful guidance. She trains and teaches utilizing a 100% positive and no pain approach. This is paramount and ensures that our dog is always safe and comfortable while with her. Brooke truly is the best of the best. read more

I can't say enough great things about Brooke and Majestic Dog Training! She's been incredible with my Frenchies -- patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what she does.

Brooke is amazing! She is a talented and patient trainer. She has helped me with my dog's reactive behavior. She has also helped me to get her settled as a rescue pup with some trauma and behaviors that needed attention. Brooke takes time with the pup and the pup parent. She explains things in such an easy way. She gives you homework so that you can reinforce what she has instilled. Palm Springs Dog Training has been a Godsend and I am forever grateful for the guidance. Gentle, positive training is what you will get and it works!!! read more

Brooke is incredibly talented at reading dogs and knows exactly which training techniques work best. Her advice has been a total game-changer for us. read more

Updated review! I got in touch with Brooke again after a few years, since my dog needed a training refresh. I've seen great improvement from just a few sessions with her. She recommended switching to a new harness to help with walks, and that has helped a lot already. As usual, her approach is to train with positive reinforcement and it really works. Brooke is amazing!! read more

Luna was an 18 month old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who we got through re-homing. No one warned me about the abundance of not only energy, but also the intelligence of this breed. Luna was busy, 24/7, and if I wasn't on my toes, she would find her own things to do. Brooke helped us to make her into a HIGH value family member who can be trusted on leash free walks (where allowed), play dates with doggie friends, and to be non-reactive. She makes the "no pain to train" mantra achievable! ​ read more

Brooke was born to do this. She knows exactly how to solve our problems and help us understand how to communicate with and encourage our dogs to do what's needed. Our dogs love her, and we love her. Majestic Dog Training is the best and you won't regret hiring the best positive dog trainer in town. read more

I'll keep this short. Palm Springs Dog Training is totally worth your time and money. You'll notice a positive change after just one session. Walks will become fun and you'll feel empowered to help your pup become the best they can be. read more

I took my rescue from Tijuana, Roja, to work on her reactive nature toward other dogs. Brooke is quite talented in recognizing what state your dog is in. She also gave me confidence on how to handle Roja when she saw another dog. It is still a work in process but working with Brooke has helped me and Roja a great deal. read more

AMAZING!!! Brooke is a true canine whisperer. I saw her dog "Magic" in action at a photoshoot in the Carmel area of Big Sur; he was so calm and listened so well, I couldn't believe he was only three years old. I was lucky to see her skills as a trainer during her stay in Carmel, I only wish she lived closer so she could train all of our friends and family dogs! She uses positive reinforcement and you can tell the dogs under her care are very happy and great listeners, very much impressed! read more

Brook is an excellent trainer. My dog loved her. I was amazed each time I picked him up how much he had learned. She gave advice generously and answered my texts right away. The fact that she was trained as a vet is a bonus. She has such a broad knowledge base and it is easy to trust her. read more

We normally adopted adult dogs who came with a minimum of skills: usually at least partially housebroken, could tolerate collars and leashes, etc. We recently adopted a 6 month old puppy thinking "How hard could this be?" Turns out, damn hard! Our frustration levels were reaching all new highs and we knew we had to do something. I had been watching some online videos from Brooke, which are all very useful with easy to follow instructions, but we decided to contact Brooke and get her help to jumpstart our training. Best idea we've ever had! Brooke is committed to dogs and clearly loves them. She has the patience of a saint and after our puppy's first day of classes with her, he was calmer, would come to us (mostly, he's just a puppy!) and started to show real promise. We just had another session with Brooke and the puppy can walk on a leash and is turning into the wonderful dog we knew he could be, all thanks to Brooke. read more

Last year, I got a puppy for my 77 year old mom. We wanted to get the puppy started with training right away but after calling many dog trainers, we had a really tough time for various reasons. Thank goodness we found Brooke!! Brooke has so many positives--here are just a few great qualities that make the training days easy breezy: * Brooke is very kind, calm, and thoughtful. * She is organized and communicates clearly. * She is sensitive to the needs of the dog as well as the owner! * She has tremendous patience for the owners who need the most training! * She loves what she does and is very, very good. Our Bernedoodle is now a year old and Brooke has been working with her once a week for about four weeks. Our dog, responds very well to working with Brooke and is a much calmer, well-behaved and happier girl! We will continue to work with Brook but are already so grateful!! Thank you, Brooke!! read more

Ten Stars! I can't say enough about how great Brooke and Palm Springs Dog Training have been for my dog and my relationship with my best friend. My dog Peat has always been a great animal, but with the training and positive reinforcement of his good behaviors by Brooke, I saw a noticeable difference even after his first session and our first walk following. From the basics to advanced skills, Palm Springs Dog Training is the best to help you achieve your goals. Brooke really has away with dogs- and frankly- a way with their owners. If YOU are receptive to learning and willing to do your part, Brooke will set you on track to teach and groom your buddy to be your true best friend. We'll be seeing Brooke more, as there's always something new to learn! Peat hasn't lost any of his personality. He's gained confidence and self restraint. A session with Brooke is worth every penny. read more

Update as of March 2021: Brooke has worked a literal miracle with our reactive/fearful German Shepherd, Kira. When we started training with Brooke in June 2020, we would be an entire baseball field apart from another dog and Kira would freak out... TODAY, we worked with 2 different dogs (walking across the street from each other) and Kira handled it like a pro. What I thought was impossible, Brooke has made possible. We also saw a cat on our morning walk today, and Kira was able to calmly observe the cat while in a "down" command. I was floored and did NOT expect that to happen. After thinking about how far Kira has come while training with Brooke, I knew I had to update my review. Over the last 10 months Brooke has worked so hard with Kira (and has trained me too!), and the results are incredible. Brooke is unfazed when Kira starts acting like a crazed beast, and has been able to show us how to stay calm in situations that are "scary" for us. Don't get me wrong: If you have a reactive dog, it takes hard work and serious dedication to training, but it's one of the most rewarding feelings once you start having these breakthroughs. We wouldn't be where we are today without Brooke, Kira and our family are forever thankful to her! read more

Brooke is SO amazing at what she does! If you need help or just want the basics of training and communicating with your dog, she is the person to see. I got Bear from a pound at only 9 weeks old, she is a German Shepherd mix of some kind, and she had a tough go of it before getting adopted by our family. She was severely underweight and scared of most people and other dogs. It was my first dog so I wanted to do some training and positive reinforcement training was super important to me. After looking at a few places in the desert, I realized a lot of places advertise positive reinforcement training, but few actually practice/teach it. And then my neighbor recommended Brooke and I am SO happy she did! We started my little pup early as she was pretty crazy/impulsive prior to our training; she would run nonstop around the house and growl and snap, and she was a little too smart for her own good, she was also TERRIFIED of new people. Within the first five minutes of our first session with Brooke, Bear was trying to crawl all over her and be her friend. That was the first moment I realized that it was a perfect match. Brooke is so patient and encouraging, especially for a first time dog owner like myself, and she loves dogs so, so much! After only 3 lessons Bear has all but stopped her zooming nature in the house, is getting so good at meeting new people, and keeping her crazier impulses under control. She is also learning how to be friends and behave with other dogs by meeting and interacting with some of Brooke's pups. There is also so much help/knowledge on the Youtube channel for Palm Springs Training! Before our first meeting I watched a few of the videos and saw how much work and time went into them, and now Bear and I watch some every few days to reinforce what I need to do to help Bear. My little pup loves Brooke so much, she will sit and watch them with me. My pup and I can't praise Brooke enough and we look forward to every training we go to. Stop searching and trust Palm Springs Training, my family and I are so glad that we did. read more

Brooke is a wonderful trainer. In just a few sessions she had my rescue dog Barney obeying basic commands, walking calmly on leash and ready for air travel. A pleasure to work with and well worth the price! read more

I have a 5 year old Corgi--got her at 11 weeks old. She has become aggressive when my husband or I leave. It was becoming a very negative household. I went to Brooke at Palm Springs Dog Training and by evaluating the situation she has helped our pup and us tremendously. She gave me specific instructions--which I have done religiously--she was available by text or phone almost immediately--she knows her stuff and it's all positive reinforcement! I highly recommend her. We are breathing easier around our household now! Lizzy says thank you Brooke and so do we! read more

We found that the dog we recently adopted has some behavior issues and needed some pretty specific training regarding his aggressive behavior. After getting some helpful instruction from Brooke about training the dog to enter his crate and locking it without him growling and showing aggression, I was able to do this at home. While we still need to work on it, training is a path and not a destination. More work needs to be done by us. Brooke has great ideas and has helped to get our dog under more control and to be more responsive than we could have done without her expert guidance. Brooke is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and she works with patience, kindness and positive reinforcement. We, and our dog, are so happy we found her! read more

What a difference a day (at Palm Springs Dog Training) makes! Brooke is a star, both in her experience, training methods and to work with. Her U-Tube videos are awesome, too. Hundreds of step! Step-by-step method that really work! read more

I had heard from many people how well Brook did in training dogs. We started out with a 3-hour lesson. I was more than impressed. My puppy would never come when called. After her time was up, she could come wherever we called her. There are many other things that she taught her. We were so blown away that we signed up for another lesson Brook is amazing! She is bilingual. She speaks "dog". Give her a try no matter what your dog needs, Brook will have a solution. read more

Brook is so knowledgeable in all aspects of dog training. She has a lot of passion for what she does.

Whether you are a new dog parent or an experienced one with prior training, I highly recommend Brooke and her team at Palm Springs Dog Training. My husband and I are on the experienced side (4th Long Coat German Shepherd) and wanted to give the best foundation possible for our puppy Sami. Even with years of working with other trainers, we learned new techniques that were eye opening. Brooke's approach and her methods are outstanding.

Brooke is a fantastic dog trainer! She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and kind. It's so wonderful to work with someone who loves dogs and uses positive training methods. We have a mini husky (Alaskan Klee Kai) and he was so scared of strangers no matter how much we socialized him, before we worked with Brooke! She gave us tools to help him understand people are not so scary and he is so much better! We are very grateful for all of her help! read more

It was such a relief to find a dog trainer that uses positive reinforcement (no slip leads, choke chains, or e collars) to train our little pup. Brooke has been awesome. She is helping our little guy build confidence and we have seen a ton of progress so far. Brooke is very responsive via text and encourages us to reach out with questions and videos of how training is going at home. We are very thankful for Brooke's love and compassion towards dogs. We know our little Pippin is in great care with Brooke. read more

Last fall we brought an 8 week Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and Kitten into our family at the same time. Being first time pet owners, and knowing the traits of a Rhodesian (stubborn, high prey drive, smart, and super cute) we were extremely nervous. I found Brooke by reading all of her fantastic reviews on google and I am so happy we have been working with her over the past 4 months. Like so many others state "she is a true dog whisperer" Ginkgo, our Rhodesian, is now 6 months old and her good behavior and impulse control is way advance for her age. Our kitty and dog often cuddle now. We look forward to continue to work with Brooke to help Ginkgo become a super star and model pup! read more
