Hi, my name is Daniel. I am a CERTIFIED (Award-Winning Dog Trainer). I specialize in BEHAVIOR REHABILITATION! I have over 35 years of experience raising and training many different breeds of dogs.

I specialize in BEHAVIOR REHABILITATION! I have developed a specific set of skills to rehabilitate AGGRESSIVE dogs! My success rate is backed by customer video reviews. See website. I lower your dog's intensity, have him/her focus on you, then reward them for calm behavior. The few other Trainers that can ACTUALLY do this type of rehabilitation will charge you 3 to 8 times this amount. Very few trainers have the skills, Guts, or experience to do this type of Training. Your average clicker trainer can not rehabilitate these dogs with food only and no corrections. Ask your trainer if they use corrections and how. I give written details of our training sessions and give you unlimited email and phone support for the life of the dog. See my reviews on my website.

At OCK-9Services we know that different breeds and temperaments require various styles of training. I gently handle the smallest of breeds and firmly handle the large, dominant, and aggressive breeds as well. I use the (Training Methods) necessary for each unique dog. I use vernal markers with hand signals. I will show you how to use your body language to demonstrate leadership and get results.

Training (starts) at $110 per session. See the training list provided. Pricing for Rehabilitation training is on a case-by-case basis. Call for a quote. Discounts for a package of 4. You will only need 3 to 4 sessions for most training with me. Some training may take as few as 2 sessions!! Most trainers will require 4 to 7 sessions and others have a 1500.00 minimum program. I have more experience raising & training dogs than 90% of the trainers in So Ca. I guarantee your satisfaction by the end of the 1st session or there is only a minor processing fee of $40.

Board and Train at our facility in Santa Ana or we provide Personal Coaching, one-hour sessions.

I have over 40 thousand hours of Hands-on K9 Training experience and K-9 education. Getting your dog social, plays a big role in his general behavior. I am active with the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County and ICare dog rescues. I help train their dogs to be ready for adoption and hold them at events, among other duties. As a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and IAABC, I am abreast of new training techniques and behavioral education.

With the LEASH training skills, I teach you, your dog will be walking by your side in (ONE) session!!! MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: If your dog does not make a dramatic change in his PULLING or you are not satisfied for any reason the 1st session is FREE. Just ask my clients!!!

Trainers like Daniel Ross focus on positive, science-based methods that fit real life at home and in public.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Daniel Ross is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.


⭐ Why Pet Parents Book Through PetWorks


Booking through PetWorks gives you more than a list of dog trainers in Brea. It gives you a clearer way to choose.


A profile like Daniel’s lets you review a local professional, read feedback from other pet parents, and book securely through a trusted platform.

🦔 How Booking Dog Training in Brea, CA on PetWorks Works


Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit. On this page you can explore Daniel’s profile, read feedback from pet parents across Orange County, and either start a booking with "Book Now" or begin a conversation with "Get Custom Quote" or "Send Message".


Training works best when you begin at the right time. For puppies and newly adopted dogs, early training builds strong habits from the start. For older dogs, challenges like leash pulling, anxiety, or reactivity can improve with consistent, professional guidance, and many pet parents notice meaningful progress within a few sessions.


In Brea and throughout California, demand for experienced, force-free dog trainers often rises in spring and early fall, when routines shift and outdoor activity picks up. Booking a bit ahead can help you get a schedule that works.


Most dog training sessions across the U.S. typically range from $75–$150 per hour, depending on experience, location, and training type. On PetWorks, you can review the services on this profile and choose the option that matches your goals.


All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, with a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience. Once you connect, you coordinate scheduling, location, and training goals directly with your trainer.


❓ Dog Training FAQs


How many dog training sessions will I need? Every dog is different, but many pet parents begin to see progress within 2–4 sessions. More complex issues like reactivity or anxiety may take ongoing training and consistency at home.


Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Brea, CA? Many trainers on PetWorks offer in-home sessions, local meetups, or virtual coaching. Check the services on Daniel’s profile, or use Get Custom Quote, to confirm what is available.


Can dog training help with aggressive or reactive behavior? Yes. Positive, science-based training can be very effective for reactivity, fear, and certain forms of aggression. A certified professional helps keep that progress safe and lasting.
