Canine Training Services - Tacoma, WA
My name is Dr. Elliott Briggs but I just go by Elliott. Pointing at me and shouting “Hey you!” is also acceptable. My wife’s name is Mika. We started this award winning home-based company to do dog training right in your home and your neighborhood. We offer a wide range of dog training services including basic obedience, service dog training and canine rehabilitation (working with scared, nervous, aggressive behaviors and trauma.)
Before working with dogs I used clinical psychology and applied behavior analysis techniques to help mentally ill children. Later on I adapted the behavior sciences I had learned to dog training while working as a field supervisor for a dog training and walking company. Overseeing a caseload of 80 dogs and 10 employees. Later on I opened up my own dog training business and have been running the business for 10 years. After many years of hard work I eventually earned a doctorate in Animal Behavior Analysis. I am also certified in advanced first aid for both human and canine. In addition to my dog training endeavors I serve as an emergency search and rescue canine unit operator.
Alongside me is my wife who assists me in my dog training endeavors. She also comes from a behavior science background. She has been working in the behavior modification sciences for 10 years and is a registered behavior technician by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.
