About Bryan

Hey there — I’m Bryan, founder of PAWSitively Balanced K9.

With a background in Biomedical Science and Biochemistry, I originally planned to become a medical doctor — but my passion for dog training quickly took over. What began as a small hobby soon turned into a calling after helping dogs overcome aggression and anxiety, restoring peace and confidence to both dogs and their owners.

At PAWSitively Balanced K9, my philosophy is simple: build the relationship first, and obedience naturally follows.

Brian helped me so much with my hyper six-month old Australian Cattle dog. I'm very new to pets in general and was in way over my head with my puppy but Brian answered all my questions and made things easy for me to understand.

Bryan was referred to us by a co worker that also had great results with their dog. Our dog was 1.5 years old, so still had some puppy in him, but he has anxiety that causes his mindset to be very difficult to train, so we called Bryan. We had an introductory meeting and felt very comfortable. He walked through his 3 week and 5 week board and train options and what to expect with each. We chose the 5 week program which trains him to basic commands on AND off leash. It was super difficult to hand over our dog for 5 weeks, but as difficult as it was, I can honestly say it was worth it. Simply put, it was life changing for us. Bryan provided weekly updates and videos so we could see how our dog was doing and help us get over missing him. Our dog still has his silly personality, but is now controllable on and off leash. Bryan was able to improve his mindset so not only does he obey commands, but has learned to relax. I cannot recommend Bryan more highly.

We put our dog into Bryan’s 4 week board and train program and he came back fully trained. We are very satisfied with the results. We tried a couple other programs before this and everything failed so this was well worth every penny. The best part is we can trust our dog on walks *off leash* in public and also around our newborn baby. We have functional control over the dog which is exactly what we paid for. Highly recommend Bryan and his programs.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks? Not true with Bryan and Pawsitively Balanced Dog Training! We selected his 5 week board and train program and he transformed our 7 year old Jack Russel Terrier. She had unfortunately never had any prior training and was used to doing anything she wanted, when she wanted. Under Bryan's care she has become an obedient dog who has transitioned well into a home with a newborn and 2 cats. Bryan provided a method and tools for us to enforce the training at home and checked in on us many times after she returned home to be sure things were staying on track. You truly get what you pay for with Bryan and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality dog training.

Bryan is a wonderful, intuitive and patient dog trainer. I had my 2 puppies do his board and train program at his home. My puppies are a brother and sister from the same litter so very difficult to train. I am happy with how much better my dogs are behaving and following commands. Bryan would send me weekly videos and photos of my dogs progress. I felt comfortable leaving my 2 precious pups with Bryan and felt they would be safe and well cared for. I highly recommend him for any level of training you may need.

I'm super happy to have found Bryan! I especially appreciate his straightforward and honest communication style. I'd been struggling with my 2-year-old English Bulldog's reactivity to the point that I dreaded just walking out of the house with him. We did the board and train program, and Bryan achieved a lot in a relatively short period of time. My bulldog is a lot calmer, and we can go for walks now. He's not perfect, but the difference is amazing! I would highly recommend Bryan!

Bryan was awesome! He came to my home for a private lesson to help me leash and crate train my 3 month old puppy. He gave me a “homework list” of specific things to work on and tons of advice. Bryan was very friendly and informative and I will definitely be calling him for future sessions!
