Brandywine Dog Academy

David is an outstanding dog trainer and an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, he was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to truly understand each dog’s personality and explains everything in a way that makes it easy for owners to follow through at home. What really stands out is his positive attitude and friendly approach. Training sessions feel encouraging and supportive rather than stressful. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a trainer who is skilled, approachable, and truly passionate about what he does. 🐶🐶🐶

We cannot recommend David at Brandywine Dog Academy highly enough! From the very beginning, his knowledge and attention to detail were clear, and we immediately felt confident leaving our brother–sister bonded pair in his care for a month-long board and train program. Before training, both dogs struggled with basic obedience and leash manners, and one had significant separation anxiety that made day-to-day life stressful for all of us. David took the time to really understand their individual personalities as well as their unique bond, and he tailored their training in a way that respected both. The transformation after the month was incredible. They came home calmer, more focused, and so much more responsive. Their obedience has improved dramatically, and the improvement in separation anx

We took our two bully breeds, Bruce and Stella, to David for obedience training, and we truly couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. From the very beginning, it was clear that David wasn’t just focused on teaching commands—he was focused on helping us understand our dogs. His approach gave us a deeper insight into how Bruce and Stella think, how they interpret the world around them, and how we as owners can communicate with them more effectively. By the end of the training, we didn’t just leave with two well-trained dogs—we left with the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing everything they had learned. David took the time to explain the “why” behind the techniques, which made it much easier for us to apply them consistently at home and in real-world situations. Th

Found Brandywine Dog Academy on Tiktok shortly after getting my high drive GSD puppy. At 5 months old, I brought my dog to Brandywine Dog Academy and purchased the 8 sessions of private lessons. Currently, I am halfway through the lessons and have learned a ton of useful information already that has been directly applied to my dog now at 7 months old. David has shown his experience on numerous occasions by directly impacting my dog’s reactivity behavior especially in public environments that my dog is not used to. David is incredibly reliable when it comes to contact him regarding a simple question and thoroughly answers the question without any confusion. I can’t recommend Brandywine Dog Academy enough.

We found David on social media and loved seeing his videos of Sasha and how well trained she is. That's what drew us to his team. David has been such a great trainer for our Goose. Within the first training session with Goose, we noticed a difference. David takes the time to make sure that we're getting what we want out of training, and he structures the training platform after our overall goals. David obviously knows his stuff. His methods are great, Goose loves David, and we're getting a more disciplined fur baby in the end. I highly recommend David and his team to anyone looking for the right trainer for their furry family member. We will continue to use David for future lessons and can't wait for Goose to graduate from his program and get enrolled in some group lessons to continue to h
