What others are saying about us

Riku coming when called

"In a single session, he was able to create a great trust between him and my dog, and I knew I could trust him with my dog. Not only does he come with an incredible amount of knowledge, background, and adaptability, but he truly does want the best for you and your dog. He adjusts the session as he sees fit and does his best to get the most amount of work done in the period of time allotted, while still maintaining a fun and functional environment."

"Brady is a clear leader! He demonstrates a clear understanding of my dogs' needs and exercises a lot of patience when answering my questions. I have a husky and a Pomeranian, two very tough dog breeds, and he created a guide and exercises to help me and my dogs understand each other, and create a much better at home situation. Thank you, Brady!"

"My husband and I got a German Shepard puppy and as first timers, we felt lost not knowing what would be the best for your little ball of fur. Brady made us understand and communicate better with our dog! With lots of patience, he really takes the time to explain and answer all our concerns. With a simple way of training, our puppy is incredibly learning so fast! :)"

"Brady is a natural and loves what he does. He’s a great trainer! More importantly, he does not rush the sessions. He makes sure to cover all topics and address any questions before leaving. My pup loves all the training games he’s taught her!"

"The level of training my dog and I got from Brady was fantastic!!! He teaches your dog to want to make the right decisions and teaches you how affirm those decisions with loving and positive reinforcement! Brady and I worked together the first few months of Jojos life together in person and since he moved to Texas we do some online trainings. I loved the in person trainings a lot! Brady’s a really cool guy, very chill personality and your pups will really enjoy your sessions I know my boy misses seeing him."

Luna and Pepper

"Brady is a great help with training us and the dogos, really insightful with new routines with the pups,10/10 would recommend if you ever need any type of dog training, have seen he is great with all dog breeds. Not only professional but made a life long friend in the process!"

- Alexia, Jared,  Luna & Pepper

Tippy sitting in sunflowers

"What a difference a trainer makes! Tippy was having a hard time socializing with other dogs and although she was taught a few basic commands, she was unwilling to do anything we asked. Brady has completely transformed her behavior. She’s much calmer and eager to please these days, and definitely has become easier to manage. I didn’t know if training would stick at her age, but I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks (or at least Brady can!)"

- Rhianna & Tippy

Eevee In a pink Sweater

"Worked with Brady for 2 months with my Pup Eevee. He taught me a lot of things to help her gain more confidence. He was polite, professional, easy to talk to. He followed up on every text and call. And always arrived on time. It was a very pleasant experience."

Brady is a fantastic dog trainer. He has a deep working understanding of dog psychology and has a solid progressive approach. What makes him unique is his coaching of the dog owner to help them become more effective in the dog trainer process and help build a better relationship between dog and dog owner.

Shadow standing next to a lake jpeg

"Dogs are stubborn and so self entitled. Brady was able to change that though! He had a method that works so beautifully that I will continuously work with him. I have a poodle and they think they know it all and try to use their smarts to do whatever they want. After just a few sessions with Brady though Shadow has learned new tricks and now lives life on my command. He understands that it’s his choice to make the right decision and he WANTS to make that right decision! Hiring Brady was one of the greatest choices I have ever made!"

- Nabil & Shadow

"We have been working with Brady / New Direction for well over a month and am incredibly pleased with the results so far. Brady is responsive and helpful and dedicated. My dog and I still have a ways to go but it has been a rewarding process and I am looking forward to seeing even more growth like we do with every session! Thanks!!"

- Kayla & Brooklyn

Boba Standing by Ocean

"Your dog is in good hands. I requested daily updates because I’m a crazy dog mom and Brady accommodated my wishes. My dog Boba was happy every time she saw Brady. That speaks a lot to me because my friend had a bad experience with another dog trainer and her dog was sad. Boba sleeps in her crate and when we go out she can happily stay in her crate as long we give her bathroom breaks. Thank you NDDT!"

- Ana & Boba

New Direction Dog Training

I mostly train new puppy owners because they are motivated and want to put in the time. But I believe that at any age, any breed, and any animal can learn with positive reinforcement and a basic understanding of animal psychology.

I learn from Susan Garrett and focus on
3 pillars in the 4 week program.
1) Coming When Called
2) Crate And Place
3) Walking On Leash

In between we train jumping, Barking, biting, and some fun tricks like Rolling over along the way!

Focused

Reku coming when called jpeg

Improved mental and physical health:

Through regular training sessions, you not only improve your dog's physical health and well-being but also provide them with valuable mental stimulation. By being focused in your training, your dog develops sensory awareness and self-control, which is essential when dealing with distractions. This creates a stronger bond between you and your dog, leading to a healthier and thoughtful dog.

Thoughtful

Improved obedience:

By investing in your dog's training, you are not only improving their obedience, but also their thoughtfulness. Training requires effort and repetition, but the payoff is worth it as your dog becomes a trusted companion who knows and follows the rules. By creating a shared connection with clear boundaries, you and your dog will have a stronger bond and a more reliable partnership. So step up towards a better relationship with your furry friend.

Reliable

Improved communication:

With training, you and your dog can build a stronger bond through improved communication. By better understanding each other, you can creatively and persuasively communicate your expectations, leading to a more reliable and confident pup. Through joyful repetitions and clear results, your dog can become more focused and attentive, ultimately deepening your connection and understanding.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS? WE GOT YOU!

Frequently Asked Questions

who are you as a dog trainer?

As a trainer, I believe in using science and psychology to create the best possible outcomes for both dogs and their owners. That means using rewards to reinforce behaviors, and creating a structured and consistent routine. Understand that positive reinforcement does not mean permissive.
Structure and boundaries are important, especially for puppies who are still learning and developing. It's about striking the right balance between positive reinforcement and clear expectations, just like you would with a human child.

What does that mean for my dog?

I believe in using games and activities to build confidence and create a positive learning environment for dogs. My goal is to help them develop thoughtfulness, reliability, and focus through play and positive reinforcement. I often ask my clients to think back to their own experiences in school, to the teachers who made them feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, versus those who judged or misunderstood them. By creating a positive, supportive environment, I strive to be the kind of trainer who helps dogs (and their owners) thrive and reach their full potential.

Why choose New Direction Dog Training?

Training with New Direction is all about taking the love you already have for your dog and channeling it into guiding them towards better behaviors. We believe in focusing on positive reinforcement and creation, rather than simply trying to stop undesirable behaviors like jumping, biting, or getting into the trash. At New Direction, we believe in creating a positive and supportive training environment where dogs learn to love the process of training itself.

What do I get by pressing i'm in?

You get my best. I hope you took a bit of time to explore the website, it is not easy building one and I'd rather be dog training. But I want to create one so I can share my most important dog training tips with you. When you press I'm In you get access to what I would go back in time to tell myself. All via email with games to play with your dog and the stories that impacted my journey.

What type of results do you get?

In just 4 weeks you will notice changes in your dog. How they pay attention and offer behaviors like going to their bed, coming when called, and paying attention to you on walks. You and your dog will learn each others language and grow in the process. Will your dog be perfect? No, that is impossible. But will they be thoughtful, reliable, and focused most days, yes. Check out the testimonial and reviews page to read other experiences.

When will my dog be house broken?

When I hear this question I get worried. Does that mean when there will be no accidents inside, when you can leave them in their crate and they don't bark, when you can let them wander around the house completely free, when you can stop training? Each one of these have different answers and they all depend on how focused you are on training now. I like to share the idea that I think of dogs like humans in school, starting at kindergarten and going all the way up to a PHD.  

What can my dog teach me?

Dogs come into our lives to teach us something about ourselves. Honor this treasure. A dog is a true spiritual teacher who spontaneously offers us teachings, tirelessly, and for free. Where else can we find someone to show us who we are and what we, ourselves, need to work on. 
You don't need to go on a spiritual trip to realize this, it's right under your nose!

What do you mean k-PHD?

When I say kindergarten through PHD I mean learning is an ongoing process. Our dogs are learning every day and improving what they already know. Or they are losing focus and letting some behaviors get rusty. It happens until the day they cross the rainbow bridge. As you understand the principles behind dog training you'll see the training moments and react accordingly. Giving your dog and you more opportunities to explore and be free.
