Hey everyone! My name is Brent LaBrada, your local neighborhood dog trainer here in the Valley.
I’ve been working with dogs in this community for about 18 years, all starting when I was 18 years old volunteering at the West Valley Animal Shelter. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to help thousands of rescue dogs find success in homes and prevent many more dogs from ever being surrendered to a shelter or rescue organization.
Over the years, I’ve come to see my role as more than just being a dog trainer. I’m a coach, a problem-solver, and I’m here to help build better relationships between dogs and their people. I enjoy coaching people and their families on developing behavior, trust, and even the overall well-being of both the dog and the owner.
Today, I run CANIS Behavior & Training right here in Tarzana, in the same building where I first started nearly 20 years ago. We’ve grown into a team of 10 professional trainers, with a state of the art facility, helping with everything from puppy training and basic obedience to more advanced behavior issues, as well as service and therapy dog work.
At CANIS Behavior & Training, we’ve built a space that feels like family. A place where you can feel safe, supported, and comfortable being honest about what you’re going through. That openness allows us to truly get to the root of the issue and help you and your dog succeed. We’re not just a training center. We’re your neighborhood team, and we treat our clients like family.
If you’re struggling with your dog, or even if you just have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
