Quality Obedience Training with Heart
Brenda’s Mission
As a lifelong dog enthusiast, dedicated pet owner, and certified dog trainer serving Vancouver, WA (and surrounding SW Washington communities), I'm committed to providing top-notch obedience training, specializing in positive reinforcement techniques. With a deep understanding and a compassionate heart, I cater to dogs with varied histories and backgrounds, ensuring they live happy and useful lives with their families.
Employing the most modern and compassionate methods, I strive to create lasting and loving canine/human relationships, offering profound, life-changing experiences for dogs and their families. Each dog and family is unique, and I take the time to get to know them individually, providing one-on-one in-home training at reasonable prices.
My dog training practice welcomes families of all sizes, and I love involving young children and teens in the process. With a background in recruiting and publicity from my 'old life,' I understand both my human and canine clients, making the training experience enriching and effective.
You are choosing the best dog trainer in Vancouver, WA, for a positive and transformative experience for you and your furry friend!
"Brenda really know's what she is doing with any dog you may have. Very trustworthy. Your dog is in the best hands possible."

Proud Grandma ‘Uma’
Rug-Hooking Enthusiast
As a devoted dog lover and experienced dog trainer, I understand the transformative impact that proper dog training can have on the relationship between dogs and their human families. Without professional training, this bond can be frustrating at times, but with a dedicated investment in quality training, a wonderful transformation unfolds.
With years of experience working with dogs and their owners, nothing brings me more satisfaction than witnessing the joy of both a happy dog and content humans!
My mission is to guide you and your dog through effective training, ensuring many happy years of companionship. Whether it's puppy training, obedience classes, or behavior modification, let's create a harmonious and fulfilling relationship for you and your furry friend.
Dog Training Process
Cultivate Strong Bonds:
Emphasize building a strong relationship with your dog.
Involve the whole family for consistent and supportive training.
Fun and Consistent Training:

At the core of my approach is fostering a strong relationship with your dog. I believe that the entire family plays a crucial role in the training process, emphasizing the importance of patience and consistency. Every training session should be viewed as a fun and engaging experience for your dog, ensuring ongoing motivation for learning.
Remember, it's never too late to embark on a training journey with your furry friend. No problem is insurmountable, and I am here to guide you through effective solutions. My commitment extends beyond canine clients to include my people clients; their satisfaction is as vital to me as the success of our canine training endeavors.
To ensure success, I ask all potential clients to sign a contract, pledging to dedicate 15-30 minutes daily to the individually designed treatment/training program for their dogs. Daily practice is key to our collaborative success.
While rare, there are instances where an aggression specialist referral becomes necessary, and I am transparent in providing the best guidance for your dog's well-being. Trust in my dedication to creating a harmonious and fulfilling relationship between you and your canine companion!
