Testimonials
“Highly recommend Brian at H.C.C. K-9 for dog training classes! He has amazing interpersonal skills with both the dogs and owners making the class a great experience for all. Our pup came in nervous with multiple distractions around….farm animals, kids, adults watching, all the other dogs and by the end of it was running around off his leash! My husband and I were shocked! There are different types of dogs in training class which was great for our dog to get used to other pets bc he’s not great with other dogs! There was a cat that sat in the middle of the training and by following the techniques and teaching him to “leave it” our dog didn’t even flinch! Crazy! We will be continuing these classes for sure!”
– Leeanne A. (Cumberland, RI)
“Brian is great! Sam and Maya (both female GSD’s) have come a long way. He explains everything and will demonstrate with your dog. He will also come to your home and work one on one with your dogs. Sam and Maya get so excited when we are leaving the house for training. I tell anyone that’s looking to train their dog about Brian.”
– Michelle M. (North Smithfield, RI)
“Brian and his team were a game changer! Brian gave me the confidence to train Jackson properly so we can bring him everywhere he is allowed to go! Jackson is so well behaved! I never thought we would have come this far! I know I could not have done it without HCC K-9!”
