Why force free training?

By utilizing positive reinforcement instead of using force to punish the animals we keep training sessions a fun and engaging activity for the animals, making them want to participate voluntarily in the training sessions and building your relationship and bond with the animal, instead of making training something aversive or scary. Our approach uses training techniques developed, tested and proven by the worlds best animal trainers from leading zoological facilities.

Do virtual training sessions really work?

Yes! In our virtual training/coaching sessions we teach you how to train your animal. By giving you the tools to communicate better with your dog you can make progress with your animal 24/7 - like being taught how to cook rather than having a chef make your meals for you!

Should I book an in-person or virtual training session?

In person training sessions are great for teaching specific behaviors and diagnosing specific behavioral cases over a smaller amount of time - however keeping up with these behaviors is up to you. Virtual coaching sessions are are great way to learning how to train and allow you to continue to make progress. Often times an in person session followed up by virtual sessions is most effective in making and maintaining progress.

My dog is aggressive and barks at strangers and new people, can you help?

Yes! Often times the root cause of these undesirable behaviors is as a reaction to seeking to control ones environment, stemming from fear or uncertainty. We work to address the root cause of these behaviors by teaching new ways to respond to the same stimulus, leaving behind a calmer, friendlier and more confident dog.

Why should I choose Brilliant Behavior over another service like a Boot Camp or Board and Train?

The most important aspect of sharing your home with a dog or any other animal is mutual communication. Your dog has to learn what YOUR expectations are for behavior in a variety of situations - not what some trainer they will never see again expects. We teach you how to proactively manage your dogs behavior, and correctly communicate to your dog that it is doing what its supposed to be doing, as well as giving you the training tools to prevent the rehearsal of bad behavior. Through our process both you and your dog will grow together - setting you up for long term success, instead of short term success that gradually slips away.
