Learn how to stop your dog being aggressive with these simple training tips
I love dogs and being able to help people create a stronger connection with their pet is my favourite part of the job. Puppy training can be particularly rewarding as well!
I can offer everything from house training a puppy to teaching an adult how to complete an agility course in competition. I specialise in commands and being able to instruct owners on how to handle their pup, as well as teaching them how to better understand their dog. One of the more specialist aspects I train on is separation anxiety.
I believe I offer a great range, including home visits, group sessions, and private one-to-one instructor classes. I’m also happy meeting in a suitable public place such as a dog park. Working with you and your dog, we’ll create a routine that works perfectly.
I have earned qualifications from: the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors, Level 3 CPD Accredited Dog Training, Diploma in Dog Training, and more. I’ve also attended dozens of seminars hosted by leading trainers/behaviourists. I’m a full member of the Guild of Dog Trainers and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.

Dogwise Academy was easy and a pleasure to work with from beginning to end! My uncontrollable puppy went to boot camp for 2 weeks and came back calm and well behaved. Brandon was great to work with and I could see the bond between him and my dog when he brought him back home. Brandon is so knowledgeable about dogs and we (and our dog) really liked him. I highly recommend Dogwise Academy if you are looking to train your dog to the next level.

I rescued Tecca, a 3-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier who had been removed from an abusive situation and then spent 18 months with a dog rescue agency. Tecca displayed every undesirable behavior you could think of, including (but not limited to), pulling and lunging on leash, aggressiveness towards our other dog, our 80-year-old California Desert Tortoise, kids, adults, cars, motorcycles, crows, and more! I basically couldn’t take her anywhere without an overreaction to everything that moved, looked like it was going to move and/or made noise. When James first came to our house, Tecca lunged at his face, not once, but twice! James very quickly got her under control, and then we sat down and discussed the plan going forward. With James’ guidance, I learned how to work with Tecca to gain behavioral changes which occurred immediately after our first training session. The “triggers” I mentioned earlier are now non-existent! I can take her anywhere and know that she will be a stellar canine. James holds group classes every Sunday at Liberty Station where he teaches dog owners to work with their dogs to be well behaved around other dogs, as well as teaching manners so they can be brought to restaurants and other dog friendly environments. During his group training sessions, James also works with owners to prepare their pups for the Canine Good Citizen test. I am proud to say that Tecca passed her Canine Good Citizen test! I can’t emphasize enough how much I recommend James for all kinds of dog training. I have witnessed him get results from the biggest, fiercest dog to the tiniest little fluff ball, not to mention Tecca! Don’t underestimate the importance of a well trained dog. Every dog can be trained. It just takes guidance from a good dog trainer and an owner willing to take a little time every day for practice. “If Tecca could do it, so can your dog!”
