Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I'm certified as both a Family Dog Mediator (FDM) and Canine Enrichment Technician (DN-CET), and am working toward earning my CPDT-KA through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.

I share my life with a cattledog mix named Boris (TKI) and a border collie named Winona (CGC, TKA). Some of their favorite activities include: herding, tracking, scentwork, trick training, hiking in the woods, and shredding cardboard.

Certifications:

Family Dog Mediator (FDM), Canine Enrichment Technician (DN-CET)

Dog training services include

  • Reactive dog training
  • Service dog training
  • In home training
  • Off leash training
  • Puppy training

More info about Brit Barnhouse's dog training:

family dog mediation, enrichment, trick/obedience/task training, home manners, puppy socialization, reactive dog management/survival skills

Behavioral issue focus:

Mild reactivity, socialization, boredom/frustration

Dog training methods:

I am a positive reinforcement based trainer who follows the LIMA hierarchy, but who specifically tries to avoid or eliminate discomfort and aversive practices or tool use as much as possible.

Why I became a dog trainer:

Because I love dogs, and because everyone deserves to have a good relationship with their own dogs.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Watching owners and their dogs learn new skills and have fun together.

My #1 dog training tip:

Forgive yourself for messing up.
