BravoPup

I would give 500 stars instead of 5 stars if I could. My young, rambunctious Great Dane Otis and I LOVED the BravoPup class run by Anna Carlson. We took her Dog 1 and Dog 2 classes in Rockridge. Anna’s methods are totally fun, totally force free - and they totally work! We had been having trouble with Otis’s recall and after only our first 2 classes Otis had a super solid recall - seriously, wild horses couldn’t keep him away when he hears his recall word. Anna later helped me with private sessions acclimating my older dog to a new rescue dog. It was miraculous how quickly and effectively Anna was able to diffuse the situation and get my older dog to be calm and relaxed in the presence of the new dog. Anna really knows what she’s doing and it’s obvious she has a special talent for reading dogs and figuring out stress free ways to guide them into the behavior we want. Updates to follow - I’m so impressed with Anna, we’ll do more private sessions to help me continue to improve the behavior and happiness of my 3 Danes. PS: Check out this photo showing how happy Otis is with his off leash time now that he can be trusted to come back.

Sandi's years of experience, not to mention her wit and intuitive perceptions make her a masterful trainer. I can' t say enough encouraging words about her. It had beed 15 years since I last worked with her and when i recently heard Sandi brainstormed Bravo pup ,I was beside myself and eager to start with my new pup. She is the beat in the area. Look no further.

We've trained two dogs with Sandy. Just the best!!

Sandi is the best trainer in the greater bay area.
