Brittany with Dances with Dogs is wonderful! Our pitbull mix doggo needed a bit of expert training and guidance, and we are glad we found Brittany to help. We had private sessions with her to work on: following commands when walking, focusing/attention, patients, leash pulling, and other leash walking skills. Brittany offered fabulous advice and answered all of our questions. I appreciate her positive reinforcement style of training. Brittany took the time to listen to our concerns, offer suggestions, and practice techniques during our session. Following our in-person training, she sends a follow up email reiterating our training sessions and attaches additional information. I highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about our dog training. We had a reactive dog that made walking him in the city very painful. We were lucky to find Brittany through a friend, and I was so impressed after just two sessions with our pup. We opted for 9 sessions in total to work on reactiveness, overexcitement, and leash training. It was the best investment we’ve made for him. He has done a complete 180 and is now a pleasure to walk because of her. Brittany is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and great at formulating a custom plan to tackle the root problem. Her explanations and objective observations were extremely helpful in correcting dog and human behavior. After each meet up, she gave us a detailed write up with reminders and tips for success with our pup. Scheduling was easy and she was communicative along the way. Our pup loved working with her!
Brittany really knows how to read dogs and how correct their behavior. Within the first session of practice I saw results with my dogs. She also provides feedback on commands/things I should do with the dogs separately since their are 5 dogs in the house. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟for Brittany
