"Dog Training Mar 13, 2019 Bruce was FANTASTIC! He knows his stuff and was able to give me insight into my dog's behavior, and the interaction he has with my other dogs. Bruce was kind and patient and bonded immediately with Chapo (my dog). What I noticed about Bruce's technique is that he paid close attention to how I interacted with my dogs and offered pointers to get the most out of the training."

"Miles was lunging and barking violently at many people which prompted us to bring in a trainer/behaviorist. Miles barked violently and pulled at the leash upon her arrival. The "snap leash training" technique was used and it demoralized our dog. 2 hours in to the training Miles muzzled punched her. She then suggested that he was unpredictable and wouldn't benefit from anymore training. She labeled him as being “Extreme Barrier Aggressive". With further discussion we thought it best to return him to the shelter. His great attributes just wouldn’t allow us to do so though. The following morning I reached out in desperation to trainers on Thumbtack and quickly got a response from Bruce. He encouraged me not to take Miles to the shelter and insisted that all dogs can be rehabilitated. We scheduled an appointment with him and when he arrived, Miles demeanor toward him was great. Bruce's calming influence had everything to do with it. We sat down for an hour and discussed what was needed during which Miles slept. We took him for a walk and Bruce took the leash with no problems. He made constructive suggestions and our faith in Miles was restored. We now have taken Miles on trails heavily used by people, dogs and bikes with no incidents or violent behavior. We have taken him to the dog park a few times where all he wants to do is play and get patted by everyone. Without Bruce's encouragement we may have returned Miles to the shelter where he may have been put down. Miles will continue to bring us happiness for years to come. Bruce will be his trainer for a lifetime. Mark and Danielle Christian"

"Bruce was so easy to work with. My to dogs loved him. He showed us how to handle or situations and resolved them in minutes. We were amazed at how quickly the issues went away after we learned what do to. He explained everything. This was so much easier then when we had the other trainer. I would highly recommend Bruce to all my friends and to people I meet. Thank you Bruce, You are most definitely a Dog Wishperer."

"Bruce came to our home today, to work with us and to confirm (or not) that our dog is well trained off leash. He was wonderful with us and with our dog, Sasha. She took right to him; something that really doesn't happen very often. Bruce gave us a few tips, to continue improving her response to commands and worked with us while here, so he could see how Sasha would react to him and to us. You can tell he loves animals and how important they are to him. He took his time and didn't rush through anything. He also took the time to get to know us and Sasha and for Sasha to be comfortable with him."
