Orange County Dog Training

A few months ago I adopted my dog, Dane, who had some noticeable obedience and manner issues. Through doing some research I found Bryden and his company. Bryden was more than willing to work with me and my budget. I chose to do a week long board and train for Dane and once the duration of the training had been completed Dane was a completely different dog. Before I was unable to take Dane in public or on walks because of his tendency to flip out once he sees other dogs, and occasionally people. However, now I am perfectly capable of bringing Dane out in public with no problems. Not to mention, when I picked up Dane I was given an hour long session where all the training that had been done was explained and taught to me. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone.

We cannot thank Bryden enough for the incredible work he did with our dogs! I was moving in with my partner who has two dogs, while I have one of my own. The challenge was that my dog is quite reactive and has never enjoyed being around other dogs. We decided to send them all to Bryden for a board and train program - my dog and one of my partner’s dogs went for two weeks, while the other only needed one week.

Bryden’s approach was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly skilled. He introduced the dogs to each other gradually, allowing them to build familiarity and comfort at their own pace. During their time with Bryden, each dog received individual training sessions focused on important skills like leash walking and obedience, which made a noticeable difference in their behavior. Throughout the boarding program, Bryden continued to share updates of their progress as well as photos and videos from their training sessions, which definitely helped to put us at ease during the whole process.

By the end of the board and train program, my dog and my partner’s younger dog were getting along very well. While my dog was still somewhat uneasy around the bigger dog, we appreciated Bryden’s honesty about the progress made and his advice for continuing to build their relationship.

Following the training, we took Bryden’s advice and slowly started bringing my dog over to the house for increasingly longer visits and continued training around one another. Now, just a couple of months later, all three dogs are doing so well all living together! The progress they’ve made is beyond what we could have imagined, and I’m sure we couldn’t have reached this stage without Bryden’s guidance and expertise.

If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly understands canine behavior and takes the time to tailor his approach to your dogs’ specific needs, Bryden is the trainer to go to. He made what felt like an impossible situation not only manageable but successful. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog training.

Thank you, Bryden! More...

Brydon is amazing. A true miracle worker! Our dog was leash reactive we tried several other trainers and methods and after a solid year of trying we decided to immerse Murphy with Brydon in his board and train program. He was able to help him overcome this and so much more in the two weeks Brydon had him. He knows what he is doing. He is kind but consistent. Sent videos along the way showing the improvement. This was the best investment we ever could have made for our dog and our lives. The most important part was how happy my dog was working with him. Always wagging his tail and happily working. We feel extremely lucky to have found this wonderful trainer! More...

It was so great working with Bryden at Orange County Dog Training! It was hard being away from our pups for a week but Bryden sent us daily updates and photos of their progress which really helped. When our dogs came home they were so well behaved! They respond to verbal commands right away and walk the neighborhood with us like champs! It’s truly unbelievable how much progress they made and we finally feel we have the tools to keep them disciplined on a daily basis. So grateful for Bryden and Orange County Dog Training! More...

I ran into Bryden while he was training another client and I was attempting to control one of my dogs on a walk. We have two new rescues, a chocolate lab and a lab/viszla mix, both 2 years old. I knew I needed a trainer but put it on the back burner for whatever reason. Our chance encounter was exactly what I needed to get the ball rolling.
We just completed our training package and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Bryden is timely, professional, patient, as well as reasonably priced with what he brings to the table as far as his experience and knowledge. He has helped redefine my relationship and the way in which I interact with my dogs in order to help them be their very best selves. We are absolutely a work in progress but I cannot recommend Bryden and OC dog training enough. His love and commitment to his trade shows through in all that he does. We are so grateful for his assistance. If you find yourself in need of his services, I know you will be highly satisfied with him and his company. More...

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible transformation our 7-month-old Goldendoodle underwent thanks to Bryden and his exceptional training program. We were at our wit's end, contemplating rehoming our sweet fur baby because her behavior was simply unmanageable. She was full of energy and completely unresponsive to commands, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.

After hearing about Orange County Dog Training’s board and train program, we decided to give it one last shot. From the moment we met Bryden, we felt a sense of relief. His passion for dogs and training was evident, and he took the time to understand our concerns and our dog's unique personality.

When we picked our Goldendoodle up after her training, we barely recognized her! It was as if a switch had flipped. She was responsive, well-behaved, and most importantly, happy. Bryden had not only taught her commands but had also instilled a sense of calm and confidence in her. It was clear that our dog had developed a strong bond with Bryden which made all the difference in her training.

Since bringing her home, she has been a dream! She listens to commands, walks beautifully on a leash, and her overall demeanor has improved tremendously. We can finally enjoy outings and playtime without the stress we once faced. It feels like we have a brand new dog, and we couldn’t be happier!

I wholeheartedly recommend Bryden to anyone struggling with their dog's behavior. His expertise, patience, and dedication to helping dogs and their owners is truly remarkable. Thanks to Bryden, we have kept our beloved Goldendoodle, and our family is complete. Thank you for giving us our dog back! More...

Bryden is an amazing trainer with more than enough patience and wisdom to help both the dog in training as well as the owner. He has an abundance of knowledge that has changed my family's and my Belgian's lives. He truly cares about everyone's wellbeing and has been a real treat to learn from as well as work with. I strongly recommend giving Bryden a call to anyone that needs help reeling their high energy or disobedient pup in. More...

We have a new dog! I was so amazed that our 4 month old puppy was doing everything that Bryden was training him to do.. in just 1 day! We did a board and train and we’re so pleased with our Ozzy’s progress each day. Bryden sent videos and we loved watching our little guy learn ao quickly from Bryden. A well trained dog is a happier dog… and that makes for a happier owner too! More...

Bryden is amazing! We brought our 16-week bernedoodle to him for training. After the first session, our pup was able to follow commands such as sit, stay, and was able to walk on a leash without any pulling or circling. He was even able to walk alongside us and not stray without a leash! It was amazing what was done with our little guy in such a short span of time. We have another training session scheduled with Bryden next month and are looking forward to seeing all of the progress that will be made in this next session. Aside from being a great trainer, Bryden is very kind and communicative and easy to work with. I highly recommend him for dog training! More...

Great trainer! Easy to work with and he progressed my dog after I spent 3 hours working with a previous trainer so fast!

We adopted Tobie about 2 months ago, a 1-year old stray, completely undomesticated, and impossible to walk without feeling like my arms were being pulled out of its sockets! She was hyper reactive to everything and I dreaded walking her.
I enrolled her in another EXTREMELY COSTLY chain training program and the training schedule was not ideal in my opinion, since our lessons ranged between 2-4 weeks apart. She just returned from a board and train with a very experienced personal trainer, in a home setting and the progress is incredible!!!
Very affordable pricing for individual training for your 🐶, for any issues, big and small, so glad we found this incredible trainer! Wish I had started with him and would have saved a fortune instead of the other costly program! 😊 Thank you Bryden! More...

Bryden was great and very knowledgeable! After one session we had a great foundation with our dog and great tips for continuing training outside of his sessions. It’s amazing how fast our dog picked everything up and it’s been a couple months now and we get compliments all the time on how well he’s trained. More...

I was a bit skeptical at first about choosing an independent trainer over a big company, but Bryden completely blew me away! His energy and experience were exactly what I needed to feel confident. He's incredibly communicative, sending progress videos along the way, and the results were almost immediate! I just got my 5-month-old pup back a few days ago, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my decision. If you want someone who’s truly invested in you and your dog, Bryden is the guy! You and your pup will be in the best hands! More...
