“Every dog deserves the opportunity to be shown how humans want them to behave in their world.”
— Lesley, Founder, Brilliant Dog Training & Behavior
About:
Brilliant Dog was founded on a simple but powerful principle: when we work together, everyone succeeds. We believe that training is a collaboration—not just between trainer and dog, but between people, pets, and a shared goal. Through thoughtful guidance, patience, and partnership, we create space for real learning and lasting change.
At Brilliant Dog, we know that dogs learn best when their humans do too. That’s why we focus on empowering you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to bring out the best in your dog.
When we work together, the sum is greater than the parts—and that’s where brilliance happens!
