The Orlando Dog Trainer

I love these people cause they love my girl, Riley. I have used The Orlando Dog Trainer for the last couple years for training, overnight stays, and day care. Everyone is nice and the care is excellent, and they are easy and flexible to work with! Riley loves going there and the peace of mind I get is priceless! I also use them for mobile grooming which is extremely convenient with my busy schedule. Thank you, Jen and Steven!

We have been training our lab with the Orlando Dog trainer for about 18 months. She is training to be the service dog for my disabled son. Steven constantly thinks outside of the box with training. He is always willing to accommodate my son’s needs and comes up with great ideas to make the training personalized for the dog & my son. I highly recommend Steven and the Orlando Dog Trainer! He has made a huge difference with our dog and in our life!

We Needed to travel out of state when our labradoodle puppy , Basil, was only 4 months old and also needed to find a trainer for some much needed obedience training. He is the most adorable boy but oh my goodness does he have personality. After much research found the Orlando Dog Trainer. Visited their premises before committing to the board and train program and was very impressed with the whole set up. Steven and his wife Jennifer are brilliant.Basil was initially very nervous around other dogs but they reassured me that this would be addressed.

Within 48 hours of Basil arriving we were seeing him walk perfectly to heel on a loose leash, sit, stay and come. We

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Steven has done as my service dog trainer through the TADSAW program. From the very beginning, Steven showed unwavering dedication, patience, and compassion—not just for my dog, but for me as well. Training a service dog is no small task, especially when you're also working through personal challenges like anxiety. But Steven never once made me feel like I was “too much” or incapable. He met me exactly where I was, offering consistent support and encouragement both in and out of class. His ability to balance firmness with empathy created an environment where I felt safe to learn, grow, and make mistakes without judgment. One of the biggest issues I faced was my dog's reactivity, especially around other dogs. I was overwhelmed, dis

I’m incredibly grateful to have completed my Medical Alert Service Dog training with Steven Brainard, The Orlando Dog Trainer, through the generous sponsorship of Train a Dog Save a Warrior (TADSAW). We began this journey in July 2025, and my K9 and I proudly graduated in February 2026. Steven is truly a dog whisperer and an exceptional human trainer! Through our weekly sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of my dog, how he communicates with me, and even more insight into myself and my experiences as a Veteran. I realized how similar my dog and I are in the way we approach daily life. The greatest lesson I learned is that he’s always there for me, gently reminding me when it’s time to slow down and relax. I am forever thankful to TADSAW and to Steven, The Orlando Dog Trainer, for th
