Services

Brianne Stiede offers a variety of services, including:

  • Private In-Home Lessons: Convenient training in your own home! This program is great for both behavioral problems, basic obedience, and puppies. With private-in home lessons, Brianne comes to you with a training plan specifically tailored to your needs. This program focuses on 1-on-1 coaching and training techniques designed to set you and your pet up for continued success. It typically starts with a 1 hour orientation session then continues with 1 hour long training session per week.
  • Day Training: Let Brianne do the work for you! This program is great for loose-leash walking and basic manners. A typical day-training program consists of an initial 1 hour orientation session and then a number of weeks in which Brianne comes and trains your pet several times, wrapping up each week with a transition session to transfer all progress to you. Keep in mind this program is not best suited for all training needs. Certain behavioral issues require an owner to be present for training sessions.

Customer Reviews

Pat M. - We decided to get a dog trainer because Lexi was a very hyper and uncontrollable dog. Over the course of training she has become much more attentive and we as owners have tools we need to help her with continued success. For anyone thinking about trying the service, I'd highly recommend the methods and ideology that will be put in place.
Wendy R. - I contacted Brianne because I have a disability which makes it difficult to romp with a new puppy and I needed a little help. Since our first meeting Brianne provided everything I and my dog needed to complete our bonding. I learned how to hold my dogs attention and communicate my wants. Miss T, my dog, quickly accepted Brianne and was happy to learn. I highly recommend Ultimate Pets to anyone who is looking for a trainer. Brianne is patient, kind and extremely effective in teaching both you and your dog. My experience with Ultimate Pets was amazing, thank you Brianne!

We've got the answers for your questions

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
