Family Pets and Service Dog Training - Sarasota, FL

Member since Jul 2017

Jeanine Brawn has been training dogs since 1974, after she started studying dog training in a formal setting. Before that she was training her own dogs while doing informal learning. She offers training for family pets, service dogs, pet therapy dogs, modeling and acting. Please contact on Petworks for more information.

She started out teaching her own, then her neighbor's, family's & friend's dogs. From there she started assisting in group classes & then teaching them, as well as continuing with the private lessons, while all along the way continuing her formal studies. These studies are on-going.... learning never stops.

She did part-time Private Dog Training from 1974-1998 and part time Group Classes from 1994-1998... at which point she started teaching both full time.

She enjoys teaching people how to understand, bond, communicate with & train their own dogs by teaching English as a second language through positive methods. Please contact and book my private service dog training on Petworks. Thank You.

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 Jeanine Brawn, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.

🦔 How Booking Dog Training in Sarasota, FL on PetWorks Works


Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit.

In Sarasota and throughout Florida, demand for experienced, force-free dog trainers can increase during the spring and early fall, when routines shift and outdoor activity picks up. Booking a bit in advance can help you secure the schedule that works best for you.


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 available services and choose the option that aligns with your goals.


All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, giving you access to a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience.
