meet Brenna
Brenna is a life long animal lover, who has a passion for bringing out the best in dogs. Whether its fulfilling genetic drive, teaching your dog to settle or building confidence, Brenna is here to make life with your fury companion as smooth and as enjoyable as possible.
From a young age, Brenna shared a love for dogs and wanted to be a Veterinarian. While in college, getting her degree in Veterinary technology , she worked as a kennel tech at a dog training facility. She fell in love with the positive impact these trainers made on the dogs and the joy it brought their owners.
After graduating, Brenna decided to trade in the stethoscope for a leash and spent many years learning dog body language and how to fulfill our fury companions.
Brenna has years of hands on experience under her belt and strives to further her education every day.
meet acer
Acer, The Black Dog.
Acer is Brenna’s personal dog. Her pride and joy. The dog that pushed her out of her comfort zone. The dog that forced her to learn new things, try new techniques. The dog that almost brought her to tears. The dog that made her to question everything she knew. Although Acer was not the first dog she trained, he was the dog that helped her to grow immensely as a trainer and she is forever grateful for him for that exact reason.
At the black dog, our goal is to make life with your dog as enjoyable as possible. Your dog only lives one life, lets make it count.
Our philosophy
“play with your damn dog”
- Brenna
At The Black Dog, we believe in balanced training and use a relationship-based approach. What does this mean? It means we teach your dog using positive methods that align with what motivates them, while also focusing on building a strong relationship. This foundation helps make training enjoyable for both you and your dog.
Once your dog has a basic understanding of commands and behaviors, we gradually introduce training tools. These tools help hold your dog accountable and make it easier to establish rules and expectations. By promoting accountability, we aim to create a lifetime of freedom for your furry friend.
