As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a passion for fostering strong bonds between pet parents and their furry friends, I bring over a decade of experience in dog obedience training and pet behavior modification. Since launching my business in 2013, I have dedicated myself to understanding the unique needs of each dog, utilizing a variety of methods including clicker training, positive reinforcement through treats and toys, and tools like head collars and front-clip harnesses. Whether you're looking to instill basic obedience in your puppy or navigate more advanced behavior challenges such as fear and aggression, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

My comprehensive training approach begins with a detailed 1 hour and 30-minute consultation, priced at $120, during which we explore your dog's background, goals, and expectations. From this in-depth discussion, I develop a tailored training plan designed to meet your specific objectives and enhance the relationship between you and your pet. While my primary focus is on dogs, I am well-equipped to address a range of behavioral issues, ensuring a harmonious home environment for both you and your pet. My services are flexible, offering both in-person and online sessions to accommodate your schedule and location.

Located conveniently for mobile services, I am committed to providing top-notch training within a reasonable travel radius. My cancellation policy requires a 48-hour notice, underscoring my dedication to maintaining a professional and reliable service. If you're ready to transform your dog's behavior and elevate your pet-parenting experience, don't hesitate to reach out.

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 Brandi Wade, 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.

Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit. On PetWorks, you can explore Brandi’s profile, read real feedback from pet parents across Orange County, and either book a session directly or start with a conversation using Request Quote.
