Hi, I'm Brandy.

Thank you for learning what makes Fluency Dog Training different!

Hello!

image000000_edited.jpg

I am the lead trainer and CEO of Fluency Dog Training LLC. I started Fluency Dog Training because I believe that dogs are part of the family, and living with a dog should make life better, not more stressful.

At Fluency, we have an a positive result proven philosophy we follow when training your dog. This philosophy has been created through years of experience and knowledge. If you are looking for a trainer to teach you to be the alpha or looking for a firm handed trainer - I am not the right trainer for you. If you are looking for a trainer who genuinely cares for what is best for you and your dog, that's me. Over the years, I have taken all the best parts of various training methods and use them to help my clients get the best fit for them. Dog training for me is not a hobby or passion project, it is my full time career. I took my first private dog training class at age 8 with my pure bred Border Collie, and in 2010 I got certified as a professional dog trainer.  

In Feb. 2022, I took the leap and opened Fluency Dog Training to specialize in pet dogs doing functional dog training for real life. I'm often the trainer people call when it didn't workout with another trainer because their one method of training didn't work for your dog. My goal is to help YOU achieve your dream relationship with your dog, and that perfect relationship looks different to every owner.  We help you create the lifestyle you want with your dog, and our clients often stay in contact with us for years after training is completed.

A good dog trainer is open-minded enough to learn from all different industry leaders (whether you use their methods or not). I have taken courses from Michael Ellis, Denise Fenzi, Pat Stuart, Victoria Stilwell, Karen Pryor, Duke University, Simon Prims and more. I have also graduated from the NePoPo® New Silver School and NePoPo® New Gold School, as well as being certified through NePoPo® on Martin System electric collar system. 

While my personal dogs have always been herding or working dogs, and I often get called because I have a special talent for helping dogs build confidence. And, while I'm a master with the herding breeds, I have had the honor of providing training from dogs 120+ lbs to 2 lbs. Puppies to senior dogs, and all different breeds from purebred to rescues. In training, genetics impact how you train, not what you train, and all dogs are capable of basic manners. Moreover, all dogs deserve a trainer who believes in them and an owner who cares enough to invest in their mental and emotional well-being.

To me, having a dog is part of what makes a family, and all dogs deserve love and respect. When I'm working with you and your dog I understand that it can be a vulnerable process and you are entrusting me with one of your family members, I take that responsibility to heart.
