WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE

about brave dog training

At B.R.A.V.E. Dog Training, positive reinforcement is the backbone of our program. Through reward based training, we shape dogs that perform with precision. It is by fostering their love for work and building the bond between handler and dog that we are able to ultimately train dogs to perform at such high levels of obedience without any special equipment.

That's right! No prong collars, no choke chains, no e-collars needed.

This is TRUE off-leash training.

We work to create real-world results, which is why our training sessions occur in a variety of locations around Leesburg, Virginia, from open fields to the Outlet Mall. Our classes focus heavily on shaping a well-adjusted, well-mannered, easy-going dog that knows how to behave in a variety of situations

WITHOUT being prompted.

CJ has been teaching puppies and adult dogs obedience and good manners for 5 years. In 2017, she earned a degree in Psychology at George Mason University. She applies this knowledge in her training, relying on positive reinforcement to help dogs become well-behaved companions under a variety of circumstances. She has experience teaching puppy kindergarten, pet obedience group and private lessons, and service dog training. Puppy socialization and trick training are her favorite!

CJ's best friend is her service dog in training, Pluto, a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever. Pluto is trained in advanced obedience, is a certified trick dog, and is currently working towards off-leash obedience and finishing his service dog training.
