PUPPY TRAINING
DOG TRAINING & BEHAVIOR
Our award-winning Puppy Head Start Program sets you and your new pup up for lifelong success. We help puppies thrive by building a foundation of confidence, exposure, and communication.
Our award-winning Dog Behavior Program paves the way for stress-free living with your dog. We know how to address severe behaviors inside and out.
IN-HOME DOG TRAINING PROGRAM
Do you wish you could walk your dog without them pulling?
Have you felt it's impossible for your dog to be around other dogs?
Just got a puppy and want to give it a solid foundation?
Does it feel like your dog will always be anxious or afraid?
Has your dog bitten you or someone else, or are they aggressive towards other dogs or animals?
We use LIMA and Balanced training methods, recognizing that standard "dog training" often doesn’t account for your and your dog’s unique lifestyle and behavior. Many clients have previously worked with trainers who focus solely on obedience through bribery—getting the dog to perform commands like sit, stay, or heel—without any consideration for the dog’s emotional state or, more importantly, the owner’s concerns. Although obedience is a part of what we do, our primary focus is building a calm, confident relationship. Our hands-on approach is guaranteed to make your next walk stress-free and your home more peaceful.​​

If your dog has shown any human reactivity or aggression they must go to our Immersion Program and are not eligible for our regular in-home training program.
WHAT DOG PARENTS SAY
Alena
​I hired Brianna to help with my 3-year-old Frenchie who was struggling with reactivity and resource guarding. After just a few sessions, the improvement has been incredible. Walks used to be stressful, but now they’re actually enjoyable! I feel more confident, in control, and better able to communicate with my dog.
Brianna is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many helpful resources that helped me better understand my dog’s needs. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely continue working with her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and effective trainer!
Kim
Brianna was a godsend for us at a time when we had all but given up on finding any help with our reactive, anxiety-aggressive dog. We’ve sought help with many other specialists and services over the years, and Pack Leader Help helped us the most by far. For the first time ever, our dog is actually fully muzzle-trained and we are all feeling more safe and confident.
Bri put as at ease immediately, assuring us that our dog was not even close to the most aggressive client she’s had. While others who said they specialized with challenging dogs like ours were tentative and left us hanging, Bri was extremely knowledgeable and communicated everything clearly, directly, insightfully and with a sense of humor. We are so grateful.

I can’t speak highly enough of Brianna and the training she has been providing my husband and I with our new rescue Sadie! We are first time dog parents and are learning just as much as Sadie. My consultations with Brianna have felt so comfortable, and she is so patient and full of knowledge about dog behaviors and how to resolve some of the issues we have experienced with Sadie such as reactivity to humans and other dogs, resource guarding, and counter surfing/destructive behaviors when we leave the room.
THANK you Brianna for your continued consultations, and I highly highly recommend working with Pack Leader for humane dog training.
