Brogan Price-Dalton
Founder/Trainer
My journey into dog training started with a lot of love, plenty of trial and error, and our big-hearted German Shepherd rescue named Simba. Helping him come out of his shell and manage his reactivity is what really sparked my passion. I just wanted to give him the best shot at a happy life, so I threw myself into learning everything I could about training dogs
Along the way, I’ve had the chance to learn from some amazing trainers who share my belief in kind, fair training. Their guidance helped shape not just my skills, but the way I see and work with dogs as a whole.
For me, training has never just been about obedience. It’s about building trust, boosting confidence, and learning how to truly understand and communicate with your dog. I’m always learning, always growing, and more passionate than ever.
Our little pack recently grew with Fifi, my sassy working-line German Shepherd. She’s full of life and keeps me learning as we explore the world of dog sport together. It’s been such a rewarding journey, and I’m loving every minute of it.
My Approach
I strongly believe that every dog is unique, and that’s why I take a personalised approach to training. My focus is on working with your dog’s individual needs and personality.
We use your dog’s motivation to address behavioural issues, enhancing obedience, or simply strengthening your bond. My training combines positive reinforcement with clear, fair boundaries, and I teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog, so you can maintain a lasting, trusting relationship.
With patience, consistency, and the right balance of rewards and guidance, we’ll build a partnership where you and your dog truly understand each other.
This isn’t just about teaching commands, it’s about building a strong relationship and fostering clear communication that works for both you and your dog.
