Due to some family changes, FROSTY, who grew up being an outside rural dog, was brought to the city and instantly became a “City Dog”. Needless to say, the transition was not an easy one for FROSTY or the rest of the family. Basically, while a smart dog, he was unruly, head-strong, failed to listen to basic commands, and had a “potty problem” in his new city environment. FROSTY was “out of control” and thought was given to possibly putting him up for adoption to a new home in a more rural environment if he could not be trained. After researching several training companies, we decided to have a discussion and interview with Brice and Maryann. Little did Brice know, but this interview process would take a little over 5 hours. I wanted to be sure that my daughter’s dog was getting the best training, with a responsible trainer. The training needed to work for the sanity of everyone involved.
The same evening, after watching Brice work with FROSTY and showcase his own dog, FROSTY was loaded into Brice’s Suburban, and off they went. I felt sorry for Brice and Maryann as I truly thought they had their hands full with FROSTY. I resigned myself to the fact that if FROSTY came back a quarter as well behaved and trained as Brice’s own dog, I would be satisfied and happy. 2 weeks later, Brice and Maryann scheduled a training session for our family. They brought FROSTY home, and the human training began. Again, close to 5 hours later, we were trained in all 10 basic commands, as well as the proper way to walk with FROSTY.
What a miracle!! FROSTY listens to our commands, enjoys our walks together, and has become the pet we hoped we could have in the city. The training of FROSTY exceeded our expectations. We have enjoyed continuing our training with him and the results speak for themselves. He is still his loveable self, but now well-behaved. Brice and Maryann admitted that FROSTY was, shall we say – head-strong, but ultimately he became one of their favorite graduates. I cannot stress enough the importance of finding the right trainer not only for the dog, but the owner. I highly recommend Brice and Maryann for your dog & people training needs. FROSTY enjoys his visits with Brice and Maryann who have now become good friends! Good Luck and Keep the Faith!!!
Jack Frost - a/k/a – FROSTY - 6 ½ Year Old Golden Retriever
“We were at the end of our patience with our 3 dogs – 2 male Australian Shepherds (ages 6 & 8) and our 4 year old female basset. The males were fighting and each had their own behavioral issues – one completely food obsessed and somewhat aggressive and the other jumping up on people and just not listening or behaving. The basset was afraid of everything and stubborn. After their training they were completely different – very well behaved and a pleasure to be around! It has totally changed our life and our household. Everyone actually enjoys being around them now. I highly recommend Brice and his training methods!”

“I have to admit…you did in 5 minutes what I have not been able to do with my dog in 9 months!”

“Your ability to teach me as the owner, let alone what you did for Pepsi, was nothing short of a miracle. I had tried so many other methods and programs, and none of them had the lasting effects, or brought the joy to us like the approach that you teach. I find myself telling all that ask that I am a part of Team Dog! Thank you for the sanity!
