Testimonials
“I highly recommend Bryan Bailey and his Academy of Canine Behavior and Training’s Board and Train Program. Not only were all of the trainers who worked with our Sturgill to improve his “manners” absolutely wonderful, but the facilities are also top-notch. Everyone we encountered during Sturgill’s time there, including Bryan, the trainers and the kennel attendant, were amazing and showed genuine concern for Sturgill and his training needs. The other awesome part of using TACBT for training is the availability of ongoing refresher training, if needed. If anyone’s furbabies need training, the investment in them by using TABCT is totally worth it!”
– Kathi Carter

He’s truly a game-changer in the world of dog training.”
