What Our Clients Say

"We can't recommend Brittni highly enough! Before working with her, Mocha had very poor recall, especially around water, and once she was swimming, she simply wouldn't come when called. Walks were equally challenging; it felt more like our Rottweiler was walking us. What truly sets Brittni apart is her ability to train not only the dog but also the owners. We had very little training experience, yet she patiently taught us how to communicate with Mocha in a way that was clear, practical, and easy to apply. The improvement in Mocha's recall, leash manners, and overall responsiveness has been incredible. Brittni is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to answer questions, no matter how big or small."

"We loved working with Brittni! We attended private puppy sessions and the puppy group dates. With the private puppy sessions, we were really able to learn our dog's specific behaviors and what to do with a new puppy! The puppy group dates were AMAZING for socialization and taught us so much about our dog! Highly recommend Know Better Do Better!"

"Brittni is a fantastic dog (and perhaps more importantly, human) trainer! I really appreciate how she breaks down every behavior and comes up with creative games to build towards what the owner is looking for. She also helps break down the science of dog behavior and operant conditioning, which helps me as a handler reframe my expectations and better understand my dog's needs. I love that she holds group classes, as the exposure to other people and dogs is a skill in and of itself, and I can learn a lot from watching classmates too."

"Brittni is such a fun loving, knowledgeable dog trainer. We experienced her 6 week puppy training class and puppy meet ups helping us socialize our puppy. We look forward to further classes as our puppy moves into his adolescent stages. I highly recommend Know Better Do Better Dog Training."

"We took our puppy Bruce to the puppy training classes with Brittney, and it was fantastic! We learned so much — and so did Bruce! I was so proud of all the progress he made over the several weeks, and it was amazing to see all the other puppies improve too. Brittney is patient, knowledgeable, and makes training so much fun. 100/10 would recommend Know Better Do Better Dog Training! Plus, it's super affordable — such great value for the experience and results. 🐾"

"Brittni's Puppy Manners class worked wonders for our super excitable yellow lab / golden mix rescue pup. I really like that she let us bring our young kids so we could all learn about dog behavior, body language, and the things us humans (especially tiny humans) can work on to make dog ownership fun for everyone. Brittni starts things off simple, focusing on getting your dog to recognize their name and focus on you before getting into more advanced training such as hand signals, verbal commands, impulse control, recall, loose leash walking, etc."
