The puppy stage is where lifelong habits are built.

Proper puppy development isn’t just about teaching “sit” and “down”, it’s about building confidence, engagement, impulse control, and clear communication before bad habits ever begin.

The right exposure to new environments, sounds, people, and situations during early development can have a massive impact on how your dog handles the world later in life.

Our Puppy Foundation Program focuses on:
• Crate training
• Environmental exposure
• Structure & routine
• Engagement with the owner
• Marker understanding
• Impulse control foundations

A well-developed puppy grows into a more confident, stable, and enjoyable family dog.

The earlier you build the foundation, the easier everything becomes later.

In a crowded market of quality dog trainers, I don't offer volume training or shortcuts.

That’s why at Old Line Canine Services I only offer private, in-home training backed by real world experience with nearly 20 years of proven results.

Your dog learns in your environment, with your routines, and around your real-life distractions.

Whether you just brought home a rescue, adopted a new dog, or you’re dealing with more serious behavioral issues, I build a plan specifically for your situation, not a one-size-fits-all program.

I also work with dogs that many trainers won’t take on ➡️ reactive, anxious, and aggressive cases that need more than basic obedience or group classes.

With nearly 20 years of experience, including a background in police and military K9 training with multiple deployments and multiple nationally recognized certifications as both a TRAINER and INSTRUCTOR I don’t just train your dog, I teach you how to handle them with clarity and confidence.

If you’re looking for real, lasting results—NOT quick fixes or cookie-cutter programs—THIS is where that starts.

This is Leroy, a 5 year old Cane Corso. Leroy is on a first name basis with Animal Control and has bit 3 different people. He has severe reactivity to people and dogs. After 5 weeks of training, Leroy is gaining confidence and his reactivity is going down significantly. Leroy is able to walk past myself and Mojo without so much as minor correction. We still have some work to do but Leroy is progressing nicely.

Your dog doesn’t have an obedience problem, they have a communication problem!

01/26/2026

Great dog training isn't about flawless sits, flashy commands, or Instagram-perfect obedience. It's about learning how to live with your dog. How to communicate clearly, set fair boundaries, and build trust that actually works in real life.

At Old Line Canine Services we focus on

- Everyday manners
- Clear communication
- Confidence for both the dog *and* the owner
- Skills you'll use at home and in public

A well-trained dog isn't defined by tricks; its defined by a strong relationship built on engagement.

Start with the basics. Build something that lasts.

For all my Working Dog clients -

As an instructor, one of the most common barriers to progress has little to do with the dogs. It’s the mindset of a training group.

Most people are working in a group or with a couple of friends/teammates they are comfortable with, or helped them get started. The people are capable, the training feels solid, and early success reinforces the belief that what you’re learning is not just effective, but complete.

Alternative training ideas are often dismissed, not because they’ve been evaluated, but because they fall outside the familiar way of training. This isn’t intentional. Over time, this fails not only the growth of a dog that may need a different approach, but the entire training group. The problem is rarely the dog. It’s the inability to step outside one training model. Handlers work with the same people, hear the same language, and solve problems the same way.

Exposure to other teams and instructors isn’t about replacing one training methodology with another. It’s about expanding your toolbox. Seeing how others conduct training and address challenges reveals both strengths and blind spots. Growth does not occur in your comfort zone. Without broader experience, it’s easy to overestimate how effective and efficient your training is.

No one is exempt. Competent groups still have limits. One warning sign I consistently address is the whole idea of, "but this has always worked, and the dogs just figure it out". When I hit this type of pushback, my first thought is typically, okay, but exactly WHAT is the dog figuring out? Could we have done it faster with less errors?

Attend seminars. Train with people who challenge your assumptions. If this isn’t supported, do it anyway. Developing your own skills doesn’t require unanimous agreement. It may lead to conflicts within your training group though. The goal isn’t to be right. It’s to be better at the game you want to play. For the dog. And for the people relying on you when the margin for error is thin, no matter the detection discipline you are in.

I say this often, dogs are the easy part.

is now Veterinarian approved! These are the types of reviews that really make you feel like its all worth it. Im lucky to have some of the best clients you could ask for 💪❤️

Quit looking for a dog trainer, call Bryan NOW! I was a military veterinarian for 15+ years- I know animal behavior, but I did not know how to teach some obedience things to my 11mo old Rottweiler puppy. Annoying things like not rushing the door when we come inside, staying out of the kitchen when we're cooking, coming when we call him (every time, indoors/outdoors). Bryan was brilliant from the moment he answered the phone. I wanted my whole family on the same page, and he didn't hesitate when I asked if my kids could be involved in the training sessions too. I love that the training was in my home- where I was having the problem.

Trust me- I've been a veterinarian for 17 yrs, Bryan knows his stuff, knows dogs, AND he is genuinely a nice and likeable person (someone you'll want to be around). There isn't one, single training modality that works for all dogs- this is why it took me so long to find a trainer - most were hard core for one method, or staunchly against certain methods- i know that there's appropriate applications and situations for all dog training methods and so does Bryan.

Like I said, quit looking, just call Bryan. I would trust him in any situation with a dog- pet, service, or working dog. He can handle it, or he'll let you know why he's not your guy .
