After winning a competition on Discovery Plus with my deaf Aussie I decided I wanted to help people have the best experience with their pup!

So, I have a herding breed mix dog that became very reactive and was almost impossible to walk before she board trained with Bryden. Paloma is already fiercely loyal and protective of our family and when we moved here to OC from a more slower pace of life, I think the environment and everything that we had experienced was just too overwhelming for her already very aware self.

I was at my wit’s end and really, I had no idea what else to do to help her. My only option was seeking professional help, because surrendering her is not an option. It never will be. She deserves all chances she can get!

I put out the call for help, and Bryden reached out immediately and we talked that same day! Bryden explained what he would do, how long it would roughly take and cost, and where she would be during her training (still in OC, bonus!).

Bryden worked with her for three weeks, and during that time he did send updates at least every week and then some! Every video, I was so shocked at her progress and so proud of how far she had come at each checkpoint. When I went to get her for our 1 hour take home training, I cried. I am just so happy that she learned some very valuable lessons to improve not just her life, but mine as well.

It’s been a couple weeks and even though I am putting in my own work as her owner to integrate her training into our life here at home and reinforcing what she has learned, she is such a different dog in the best way! We’ve had such incredible break thru moments, I’m blown away at her ability to react with better choices almost every time. I’m also much more confident at being able to take her out for walks or to the beach (not at the height of busy hours— yet) and she has responded very well each time. Now, people comment at what a good dog she is! :)

Bryden gave Paloma and myself very invaluable tools to make our lives so much better and the training has paid itself off already. I can’t thank Bryden enough for what he’s done for us.

If you’re running out of hope and are still on the fence about training… my advice to you is to go for it. You’ll wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner and I urge you to work with Bryden. He’s a cool dude, a good trainer, Paloma loves him, and it is worth every penny!

Bryden was the best😊👌
With the shortest time, he was able to modify my 2 boys”behavior. I know how hard it must have been for him ( knowing my boys😬) & we are so grateful with his patience & determination. My boys are more obedient & we are able to walk them in the patk without them chasing or growling at other dogs. They are also just watching people go by our window without barking at them. Thank you Bryden. We appreciate you. We highly recommend you.😊 More...

Bryden is amazing! The progress our pup made in just one week with him is incredible. We are so grateful we sent him to training! The best investment you can make in your dog for sure. More...

We sent our 4 month old puppy to Bryden for one week and he came back a new dog. He knows all the basic commands and our 3 and 5 year old can walk him now on their own! I could not recommend Bryden more!! He was phenomenal!! More...

Working with Bryden has been great! We had two dogs who started turning on each other and attacking and we started working with him and he has done wonders with both of our dogs! They have become two very well trained and mannered dogs. Working with Bryden was great and my dogs loved him! He was very responsive and even sent updates on their progress during their board and train. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs to have their dogs trained. More...

I was hopeful and my husband was skeptical but
Bryden Brown made us believe in him. Within one week my dog, Emi learned all the basic commands, at the end of two weeks Emi was
doing walking focused, no leash, some tricks
and NOT reactive towards other dogs. Can’t
say enough positive things about Bryden. His
working with my dog made Emi a much better
dog. We are most appreciative.

Hi! Bryden was amazing, informative and took the time to show us and explain all the improvements he made with moose.

He worked out a plan for us that met our needs! I appreciate everything! I highly recommend Bryden! More...

Bryden was amazing! He was very responsive when inquiring about training. While our dog was with him he gave great update videos almost every day which my kids loved. We rescued a goldendoodle who was about 1-2yo and was a great dog but had some problematic behaviors such as nipping and jumping on my young kids as well as eating socks. We did the 2 week program with Bryden and he is a changed dog! He walks even better on the leash and now even off leash, he listens great, no more nipping and is much better at greeting new people and kids! I would highly recommend him to any friends or family!

My pup Maverick is almost 9 months old, needed some all around training. Bryden boarded and trained him and he has really changed. He is obedient, calm, sits when people or dogs are near, I have only had him back a few days and took a long walk with Maverick and got tons of compliments on what a good pup he was. Highly recommend training here!!! More...

Bryden did amazing work with our dog. So many small but persistent and annoying issues were addressed in a week’s time. He provided us with a solid foundation that took us from struggling to walk our dog to be able to walk our neighborhood basically leash free. All the while we still have the loving high energy pup we did before. Can’t thank him enough for setting us on a better path for our dog and family More...

I was shopping around for some obedience training for my rescue puppy. She is a Belgian Malinois and Shepard and very busy. We called OC Dog Training and Bryden returned my call. I kept calling around and a few days later Bryden called to see how my search was going. Well I was convinced that he was different from the others a gave him a shot. I am so happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone who wants a trained dog. Thanks Bryden More...

I adopted a sweet little dog named Sandy but she had no manners and barked at anything and everything. I really thought that I could correct this myself but I was wrong! I contacted Braydon and Sandy was officially in training that same week! What a huge difference in just 6 lessons and Sandy is such a pleasure to take to the park or on our daily walks. No tugging, lunging and pulling my arms out of the sockets whenever a box truck or mailman passes by. Very little barking but I can control that now. Braydon is an extremely patient man and was very gentle with Sandy. But also with ME. This was all new to me also and Braydon made it so much easier for me as I had never used a professional dog trainer before! It is so worth it!
I would highly recommend Braydon to any owner who needs some help with training!

Dog Training

Bryden was amazing! I received updates & pictures & videos daily of my Daniellas progress. He successfully trained my large 1 yr old rescued dog Daniella from jumping up on people, pulling me (older handicapped woman) during walks, and taught Daniella all the basic commands (sit, stay, turn, stop, etc). Daniella had been locked up in a cage for months & was very hyper at times. This would scare my youngest grandson. Bryden brought that hyper level down to normal & now kids of all ages love to play with Daniella. I constantly get compliments on how well behaved Daniella is when I take her for walks now. This is something I never thought I would hear. As a bonus he trained her to walk/jog alongside a skateboard. My oldest grandson loves taking her for “rides”. I highly recommend Orange County Dog Training! More...

Bryden was absolutely amazing! I have a very stubborn French bulldog who was an absolute nightmare on the leash. After two weeks with Bryden, she is a whole new dog! I am able to take her on walks go to public places without the stress that she’s going to be yanking me around or barking at every person that walks by. It has strengthened our bond and increased my quality of life significantly. He was so kind with her and sent me updates every day that she was in his care. 10/10! Can’t thank him enough! So excited for all the adventures her and I will get to have together now as a result of his expertise and skill. More...

Dog Training

Bryden did an amazing job training my two Aussiedoodles. I had previously sent them away for two weeks to be trained by another trainer and I was so disappointed that their behavior was unchanged upon returning. I tried everything to work with my dogs but was unsuccessful. I wasn’t sure I could ever control them due to their extreme reactiveness to other dogs, cats, bikes, and scooters during our walks. Bryden convinced me that he could help and he truly did. My dogs are so well behaved and our walks are now enjoyable and stress free. I am so grateful to Bryden for training my dogs so well. I recommend Bryden to anyone who is looking for a truly outstanding trainer. More...

I am so grateful for Bryden! He truly is a master of his craft. For over a year I had my almost 2 year old Aussie doodle been seen by multiple trainers,including private and “board and train programs” and Bryden was able to improve upon my dog’s obedience in only 5 days. Tasks that previously were riddled with anxiety for me on how my dog would react to certain environments and other dogs, are now enjoyable. Brydens training has allowed for me to form a greater bond with my dog. Bryden’s frequent check ins, training videos and advice continue well on after the program is done. I am so grateful to Bryden, and would highly recommend him to anyone! More...

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!

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.

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!

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...

Dog Training

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!

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...
