About Bryan
Professional Dog Walker & Dog Trainer
We’re so glad you’re here!
Your pup will be too.
Through the guiding principles of our team, being a part of the Santa Barbara Dog Dude Dog Walking Program will offer the perfect reintroduction to your dog’s natural environment as a pack animal. Walking with The Pack is unlike anything else! It’s calming, assertive in energy, and allows your dog to find its place wherever they feel comfortable. Together, we move and flow like a tide. As your dog gains more confidence, old behaviors of stress, excessive energy and fear are swept away. A wave of newfound confidence begins to build in its place and your dog will be able to experience social interactions and new skills with trust, enjoyment, and ease.
So, whether your dog is shy, anxious, socially awkward, or overly excitable, we know we have a place for them. Your search for ‘dog trainers near me’ ends with us. We thrive in creating positive change in each dog with our dog walking services and we are certain that your dog will be proud to show off the new skills learned from us at Santa Barbara Dog Dude. We’ll work together. We’ll move on as one. We’ll learn and grow. And we’ll most definitely, have fun along the way.
**PLEASE NOTE: Pups not spayed or neutered beyond the age of 15 months will not be accepted into Pack Walks.
Meet Bryan
With over 8 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of learning from some of the most respected figures in the dog training world. I honed my leash skills under the guidance of Jonathan Czinder and Cole Lasher, the brilliant minds behind Oregon Tails and the Gentle Method. This approach focuses on building trust between owner and pet through movement, ensuring a harmonious relationship.
Over the years, I have had the incredible opportunity to also work alongside world renowned experts like Ivan Balabanov, Jay Jack, Larry Krohn, Cherri Lucas, Brian Agnew and many more. From these mentors, I have gained invaluable insights into various training techniques, including the critical role of play in training, e-collar usage, and understanding canine drives.
I am dedicated to lifelong learning and continually seek out seminars and collaborations with other trainers to remain at the cutting edge of dog training methodologies. This commitment allows me to provide the dogs I work with the best possible chance of success.
Currently, I am a newcomer to the sport of PSA, participating as both a handler and decoy with Urban Desert PSA. This involvement brings a fresh perspective and fuels my passion for excellence in canine training.
My approach is rooted in a natural, play-focused methodology that aims to create well-rounded, happy, and healthy dogs. I’m dedicated to giving each dog the best chance of success, and I am eager to share my knowledge and experience with fellow dog lovers.
