Great Pets by Brian KIlcommons

I bring my dog everywhere and she is so well behaved and that is all thanks to Brian! She is still a puppy and it takes some effort on my part to reinforce the training that Brian has given her but she can handle any situation she is put it. I just recently took her to a food truck festival with thousands of people and she patiently waited at my feet in the line. When people asked if they could pet her she walked up and sat in front of them in her most polite greeting and allowed them to pet her. She is 7 months old and a dream! Thanks Brain for giving Red the tools she needs to be a great pet!

Brian Kilcommins and Great Pets is the best gift we have ever given our dog. Not only does she love Brian and being up at their expansive and beautiful property, she has become the sweet, well trained dog we always wanted. Brian is ultra-responsive, keeping us updated on progress with daily videos and pictures and his care and knowledge regarding dogs is nothing short of extraordinary - he literally wrote the book on dog training! He is a pleasure to deal with and cares for our puppy as if she were his own. We cannot say enough amazing things about Brian and Great Pets and choosing them to help train and care for our dog has been the best thing for her, and for us.

Brian trained our puppy as soon as he was old enough. We have children and needed to be sure our new puppy was trained. Not only did Brian train our puppy at his facility, but he also makes visits to us upon our request to help refresh our knowledge of commands. We get compliments all the time on how well our dog listens. Brian's only goal is to make sure your pet is trained and he does an excellent job at doing so. While other trainers may be extra pampering in their handling of the humans, Brian means business and makes sure the money you spend gets the desired results and therefore is very direct. I noticed some other reviews negatively speaking about Brian. If you want someone to make YOU feel good and possibly train your dog, great. But if you want someone to focus 100% on training y

Wow!! We have a happy, well-mannered pup named Rooney and we couldn't be more enthusiastic about Brian after his help with her. From the onset, Brian sets you up for success in the future. We had a young pup who was all over the place - biting, chewing, pulling - what puppies do. After time with Brian, training both Rooney AND us, we started to understand what makes a good dog tick. He doesn't just train the dog, he helps you understand how your dog is motivated to make you happy. Using that simple concept, with his tremendous experience, makes training a real joy.

Brian dealt with my puppy's housebreaking difficulties and anxiety issues with patience and understanding. He is extremely responsive - willing to answer our many questions thoroughly and immediately. The training and boarding facility is excellent - clean and well equipped. My pup loved the outdoor play opportunities! Brian's training methods are firm but compassionate, and he understands that different families have different sets of rules for their pets. Highly recommend!!
