“Brad trained the first hunting dog I ever had.  She was a Chesapeake bay retriever.  She was complemented by several to be the best Chessy they had ever seen.  He then trained my Labrador who without a doubt is the “dog of a lifetime” for us.  She is steady but has a drive to retrieve that is unmatched. I have also been around several of his dogs and the thing that is amazing is they all have very similar traits and characteristics.  His dog “Bitty” was probably the best dog I have ever hunted with.  Without a doubt, Brad is one of the best dog trainers in the business.”

“I took my British to Brad at 6 months. Very nervous about the process as she cost a lot and I was scared: would she be okay? Will he take care of her? Would she learn quickly? Everyone knows British are very tender hearted and do not need to be heavy handled. Within weeks he had her doing multiple training exercises. This dog is very compliant and easy to train. The videos proved it and were amazing. Fast forward to my next female, she's the niece of the first. Expecting her to be compliant, she was the opposite. Needed more instruction to retrieve. Brad was open and honest to say, she's going to have to mature more and have a later training schedule. "She just needs to play and have fun. But, learn while growing. ". Brad has the intuitiveness to assess the dog and not try to enforce the process. The last thing anyone wants is an expensive dog that has been ruined by a forceful process. A steady timeline is key but at the appropriate point for the dog, not the owner. Patience equals payoff. Brad gets it!”

“My relationship with Brad has been exceptional. I was lucky enough to have him train my black female, Penny, beginning at about six months. The relationship he developed with her was unreal to be honest. What really sets Brad apart from other trainers I have seen is his ability to treat any dog as if it was his own family member. He truly loves the dogs he works with and cares for them on a level I have never seen. My family and I have been raising and training labs for over 35 years and the results Brad was able to deliver to us with Penny are next level! She is as exceptional in the home as in the field and I am confident this is the result of the extreme care Brad puts into each dog he works with!”
