Brandon Fouche

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Brandon. From his hands-on assessment of our dog through to his actionable behavior modification plans and his regular communication on what still needed changing, Brandon more than delivered on everything we'd hoped for when we went to him in the first place. Our dog, while not yet perfect, is absolutely on a path to improved behavior, and without Brandon, I'm not at all confident that'd be the case. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who's working through a tough time with their dog.

This review is for anyone at their last end & in need of HOPE. Brandon Fouche truly SAVED our dog’s life. We adopted an Australian Shepherd who became aggressive—biting friends, nipping us, and even biting a trainer. The trainer told us no one else would work with him and that the shelter would likely euthanize him if we returned him. Our worst nightmare happened when our dog bit our neighbor & it broke skin. Our neighbor wanted to give our dog a 2nd chance if we could find someone to work with the behaviors. We were heartbroken and desperate. After countless failed attempts with other training methods, we found Brandon on Yelp. Honestly, we doubted the reviews & were worried it could be a gimmick, but we had no other options. Even after committing to Brandon we questioned him. To our shock, within hours Brandon had our dog calmly walking behind us and even playing happily with other dogs. No prong collar, no e-collar—just Brandon’s deep understanding of dog behavior. Keep in mind, Brandon is NOT a trainer; he’s a dog expert who teaches YOU how to communicate with your dog and changes behavior at the root. It works by first meeting with Brandon in the morning with your dog. You share with him the issues & he shares with you his philosophy while assessing the dog & how you react to your dog. Then he keeps your dog for a few hours to introduce your dog to his dog pack. After assessment, he meets with you to let you know what type of behavior your dog has & the strategies that would help. He gets results within those few hours & if there are any concerns, Brandon is straight up & honest with you. He sends in videos & will follow up everyday for the next 2 weeks to see how you are working with your dog. He even offers day care & board in train ONLY for those who have gone through his rehabilitation. This is no gimmick. Brandon follows through & is a huge believer in saving dogs & rehabilitating them. He has rehabilitated over 63,000+ dogs in 35 years. Shelters & trainers bring their aggressive dogs to him. If you’re at the end of the road with your dog—please give Brandon a chance. We are still in shock with our experience today. Thank you Brandon for giving us hope with our dog! He’s the real deal, better than Caesar Milan (without the camera tricks). We hope this review helps save your dog’s life, just like he saved ours.

Brandon Fouche is the real deal. I brought my pit bull mix to Brandon after struggling with intense reactivity toward other dogs. Walks felt like a battlefield — tense, unpredictable, and stressful for both of us. She’d lunge or react even if a dog was across the street or a mile away. Enter Brandon. From the first evaluation, I could tell this wasn’t your average dog trainer situation. Brandon understood my dog - not just her behavior, but her mindset. He gave me tools, a plan, and most importantly, perspective. Over the course of two weeks, with his guidance, check-ins, and recalibrations, we saw a complete shift. Now? Walks are peaceful. If we pass another dog, she doesn’t freak out. She’s alert, sure, but calm. I feel confident handling her, and she feels safer too- it’s been absolutely life-changing. Her response time was pretty immediate and I remained consistent with checking in and letting him know how she was acting based on new methods we were implementing over the two weeks. If you have a dog who’s not listening, reactive, aggressive, or just seems misunderstood- do it. Brandon’s work speaks for itself, and it’s worth every bit of the time and investment.

Brandon is a GOD-SEND! My husband and I brought home a German Shepherd puppy, Luca, and by five months old he was already 70 pounds of energy, strength, and playfulness. As first-time large dog owners, we were completely unprepared for just how much stimulation and engagement he needed. With both of us working full-time, we were spending every spare moment trying to tire him out with runs, fetch, tug-of-war - just to get a little peace so we could focus on work and daily life. We didn’t come into this blindly, we genuinely tried to train Luca ourselves. We watched countless dog training videos, tried different methods, and implemented the techniques that many trainers promised would work even on the most stubborn dogs. Despite our best efforts, nothing stuck. Luca didn’t understand boundaries - he nibbled on our hands, barked constantly at passing cars, ignored us when we called him, and showed growing uneasiness around other dogs and small children, even if they were just walking by. To be completely transparent, by the time we reached out to Brandon, we were overwhelmed. As much as we absolutely loved Luca (he is the sweetest dog) the constant stress of managing his needs was wearing us down. We even had conversations about whether we were truly equipped to raise him in our home, which was heartbreaking for us. We felt stuck, guilty, and exhausted. Then we found Brandon and everything changed. Within just 20 minutes of our first consultation, Brandon made more progress with Luca than we had in five entire months. He didn’t just work with Luca; he helped us understand him. Brandon explained the instincts behind dog behavior and how, even with the best intentions, our human responses were often reinforcing the very problems we were trying to fix. His calm, knowledgeable, and confidence-building approach made an immediate difference - not just with Luca’s behavior, but with our entire relationship with him. Since working with Brandon, our home is so much more peaceful. Luca is still his sweet, playful self, but now he’s relaxed, grounded, and responsive - and we finally feel confident and connected as his owners. The stress we felt has been replaced with joy and genuine enjoyment of life with our dog. We are endlessly grateful to Brandon for giving us the tools, understanding, and support we desperately needed. He truly changed our lives, and Luca’s, for the better. If you're feeling frustrated or overwhelmed with your puppy or your dog, do yourself a favor and reach out to Brandon. It will be the best decision you make!!

Brandon saved the day!! If you're in despair, call him. I was in despair about my new rescue-adopted deaf pit who seemed out of control. I'd never owned a pit—never mind a deaf one—and I was starting to think the racial profiling of this breed (aggressive, obstinate, etc) was true...and I was going to lose the battle with this dog. It was SO depressing. Then the rescue referred me to Brandon and in 1 session he fixed it. Rather, I should say, he fixed ME so that I could fix it with Carmela. Brandon isn't a trainer per se. He's a dog behavioralist and he gets them on a fundamental level. What I learned that day was that I actually had a **great** dog. That I was the one who didn't understand what my dog needed from me. Once I got my gentle alpha act together, Carmela could relax. And she became incredibly loving, in control and obedient. Two happy endings to this story: We have had many deaf pits in our lives since Carmela (kind of our speciality now!) and it has been such a beautiful experience. All credit for that goes to Brandon...honestly. And Carmela (our first) became a true breed ambassador! Example: we had a family visiting us. The parents were very 'worried about the pit bull.' Until Carmela happily allowed their 5-year old to drag her around the back yard on a leash for an hour. The kid and the parents were astonished. But I wasn't. Because Carmela was officially and forever a Good Dog. (The photo is deaf pit #4 and #5....blessing our family, thanks to Brandon and Carmela!)
