Brooke is an amazing dog trainer. I was at my wits end with my one year old energetic puppy. I became her mom without her having any prior training of any kind and I was trying to harness the wind every day I was with her. Brooke turned her around within the first session and it has only gotten better ever since. Brooke has been working with my dog Ember for a month now and I can now spend beautiful quality time with my dog. I have tools to keep her entertained and occupied. Brooke is a miracle and a blessing. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner who needs help. More...

My girls love training with Brooke! In just a few sessions I already see many positive changes in their behaviors, especially with my reactive one. Thank you so much!!

Brooke is an excellent trainer! For both dogs and humans. :-)She instantly tunes into and understands dogs' behaviors and has taught me how to do the same to help redirect my pup. I debated whether or not to do private sessions or classes, and opted for the private. I'm so glad I did, and I believe that Benny, my pup, has made much quicker progress because of that. Benny loves Brooke! More...

After researching many trainers in the desert area, I finally decided on Brooke at PS Dog Training She has videos where her work is showcased and she has a “positive reinforcement” method. Having had experience with German Shepherds, one of the most challenging parts of training them, is outsmarting them. They are a task oriented working dog and very intelligent. But, if they don’t receive the right training, they can easily become a nuisance. They are one of the highest number of dogs given up because of bad behaviors. This is sad given what amazing animals and pets they have the potential to be with the right training. I have a busy lifestyle and Brooke comes to our home and trains with us as well as she will come and train individually if I am not home. She has a natural flair for her job and obviously loves what she does. My GSD puppy was immediately drawn to her and with the use of reward (think of it as getting paid for a job well done, rather than bribery) and clicker, she reinforces the behavior we are looking for.I highly recommend finding her videos on YouTube and giving this fine young lady a chance to train your pup!

We had just adopted a 4.5 month terrier mix dog from the Palm Springs Animal Shelter & were looking for a dog trainer. No one could give us a definite recommendation of a local dog trainer. We looked few online and decided to give Brooke Fagel of Palm Springs Dog Training a try. What had stood out was her energetic & informative u-tube tutorials. When Brooke arrived at our home we were impressed on how cordial, polite and respectful she was toward both us and Penny, our new dog. We also found out that she had 4 years of veterinarian school, so she is also an animal behaviorist. We opted for the 6 series lessons which led us to a lot of hands on- training in parks and at home. Penny is our first dog and Brooke worked with our goals to feel comfortable with having a dog as well as learning how to manage Penny’s distractions as we navigated our walking skills among other dogs and people. Brooke also sent us a report after each lesson which summarized the areas we had worked on and a maintenance plan. What we really liked about working with Brooke is her complete dedication to treating animals respectfully. She works with animals that have been abused as well and her caring and devotion to this craft shows. With our final lesson, we could tell that our time with having Brooke as a dog trainer has paid off with the deep bond that had grown and learning how to treat Penny like the thinking sensitive animal that she is.

Brooke’s training methods are not only compassionate but effective. She is passionate about training and committed to teaching dogs to want to do what we want them to do, instead of resorting to intimidation tactics that can have emotional and behavioral side effects.

Lalo was a cute dog gone wild. After a few lessons with Brooke, he learned how to control and maintain himself. He no longer is jumping on top of furniture and knows basic commands such as, sit, down, leave it, and off. Brooke was able to show us how to manage his behavior without getting frustrated. He now is eager to please and has set boundaries. More...

Brooke is an amazing trainer (of dogs and their humans). I have 2 over reactive chihuahuas. They are overstimulated by every noise and movement in their environment which results in excessive barking and in Buster's case also includes biting, particularly hands and feet. What I love about Brooke is there's no yelling, no yanking, no shock collars, no choke collars or any type of negative reinforcement. She talks softly to the dogs and builds communication with them in a language they understand. Between training sessions, she encouraged me to reach out with any questions I had as I tried to duplicate what she taught them that week and that was incredibly helpful because it's surprising how many questions come up when you're on your own. As a result of training with Brooke, I have seen improvements in my dogs' behavior that I wasn't sure were possible. Throughout the entire process she was dedicated to helping my dogs become more peaceful and calm while at the same time patient with teaching me how to work with them in between sessions. I never felt like I was left floundering after a session. Without reservation I highly recommend Brooke to anyone who is considering hiring a dog trainer. Her dedication is remarkable and Buster and Sophie have benefited a great deal from her. More...

Brooke at Palm Springs Dog Training is amazing. I rescued my dog, Riot Grrrl, when she was 7 months old. She'd been tied up outside, left with no food, water, or shelter, and beaten badly. She came away from that with some major anxiety issues and a very strong prey drive. Through working with Brooke, Riot now listens better, is calmer, and her playful and happy personality really shines through. I was really worried about my dog before training with Brooke, but she's completely turned around and I'm thrilled! Thank you, Brooke, for all you've done for us! More...

To all considering using a dog trainer. Stop, go no further. Brooke is the answer you've been looking for. Her knowledge and compassion are matched with her professionalism. Positive reinforcement has worked wonders with our 2 year old Airedale and Staffordshire Terrier. They have progressed from unruly hooligans to very mannered gentlemen in nine short weeks. Awesome.

Excellent training services for our reactive little rescue dog, and for us too! Brooke practices positive reinforcement training, which is especially good for a doggie who hasn't had the greatest past. She is patient, kind, and provides follow up training instructions which really help with home practice. Also, she's one of those dog "naturals" whom dogs actually listen to. She's also a lot of fun. Highly recommended :-) More...

I have a rescue dog who was extremely reactive 6 months ago. Bozzie has made great strides since he came under the magic of Brooke! He can now walk on leash without lunging or growling at other dogs! He no longer reacts to loud noises overhead. As we speak I am having Solar installed and the guys are on the roof drilling, hammering, etc. Bozzie is cool and calm, resting beside me with nary a peep. Brooke is an excellent trainer and very easy to work with---she is patient, kind, and understands dogs. Bozzie loves to train with her and so do I! She can and will fix your dog, no matter the problem. You won't be

I was wondering what to do about my dogs growling and barking and after trying out Brooke’s in house dog training I am impressed with the progress that Buffie has made in just 90 minutes. Brooke is very professional, knowledgeable and loving dogs for sure. Buffie stopped growing and barking on Brooke’s first visit. I later tried the new techniques at the dog park and Buffie complied. Brooke is the true dog whisper. Thank you Brooke .. look forward to our next training? More...

I am so impressed with Brooke's training methods! She came to our home yesterday to work with our little Chiweenie, Coco. Coco is very nervous and barks and growls incessantly at anyone outside of our immediate family . She is particularly agressive with the grown daughter of our housekeeper. It became a huge issue and so I contacted Brooke in hopes that something could be done. In just one session she patiently got Coco to respond to her in a positive way and taught me how to work with Coco and redirect her. That was yesterday. I worked with Coco throughout the day and the results tonight when this young woman came over were incredible! With just 3 tries at redirecting her, Coco stopped barking completely. I then used her command for her 'time out' to relax and she immediately led me to the room Brooke and I had selected for this purpose. After a few minutes I let Coco back out and she happily came out a calmer, happier dog. Wow!! This, after one session. I look forward to another training session for our Coco (and me!). More...

We enjoy having her in our home and completely trust her when we're not there, as well. Her methods are easy to follow and she always has a follow up written email the same day, usually. We couldn't be happier and strongly recommend her to anyone who is in need of training with care. More...

We got Bo our Great Dane at 8 weeks with the intention of having him be a service/ balance dog for my husband. After doing much research and making many phone calls to trainers Brooke sold us with one conversation. Her caring and positive training techniques were apparent with this conversation. We are now on our 2nd round of classes and have not been disappointed. Our Bo has mastered puppy basics and is now advancing to specific skills. Every step of the way Brooke has worked with our Bo and my husband to assess our needs. She is amazing at foreseeing issues and providing us with the necessary tools to make corrections. Furthermore she is easy to talk to, down to earth and passionate in what she does. I can not say enough that Brooke is a fantastic trainer. I fully and confidently recommend Palm Springs Dog Training and Brook Fagle. More...

Brooke is the best of the very best. Our 2 year old Coton, Lulu, has had confidence issues since our senior fur baby passed away last March 2017. Sweetheart hides under our bed whenever we have visitors, goes bonkers when the door bell rings, has zero social skills with other dogs, doesn't trust our grand boys (ages 4 and 6) or our son in law. Loud sounds or even the slightest mundane change makes her dive underneath the bed for several hours. Now add in a brand new 10 week old "sister" to the equation and we have a growling, very unhappy and even more insecure fur baby. Lulu has gone through 2 rounds of puppy classes as well as a behavioral modification course. Just when I thought I'd have to leave the area to find a compassionate, intuitive, professional dog trainer, I found Brooke! I have to say it was truly my lucky day. It's been 2 weeks and there's already been a change in our darling Lulu. She's coming out from underneath the bed and putting herself in the same space as the grand kids and their dad. That's huge. She tries very hard to curb her instinct to herd me away from the front door and just today she came out to greet a stranger and sit within inches of our latest addition, Fifi. These may be small baby steps for some dogs but for Lulu it's monumental. I hope to see her happy and confident again in the near future. As for Fifi, it's perfect timing for her to learn puppy manners. With Brooke's training and guidance, I am more optimistic than I've been in a long time knowing both Lulu and Fifi will grow to be emotionally healthy and happy dogs. If you're looking for a real dog whisperer, she's the one. More...

I had other trainers tell me that they only way to train my two reactive small dogs was to either use a shock or prong collar - absolutely not true.

Brooke is amazing! My puppies were demonstrating separation anxiety, aggressive behavior, and had begun fighting with one another. Brooke took the time to understand each pup's temperament, and tailored our sessions to their specific needs.
