What people are saying about Brenda Belmonte, CPDT-KA

  • “Hi Brenda! I hope you're loving SD! Just wanted to send you a note with a great update on Lila. After 3 knee surgeries and 18 months on restricted activity, Lila has finally been cleared for normal activity and we've started training again, still working towards therapy certification. Despite the long pause in our formal training she hasn't forgotten a thing. I just wanted to thank you for the incredible foundation you helped us build for her. So glad we crossed paths in IL before we both moved away..”

  • “Brenda Belmonte is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable trainers I've had the pleasure to work with, and her work with reactive dogs is outstanding! She's able to assess each individual dog she meets with and creates a holistic plan for behavior modification that's easy to understand, but more importantly, manageable for the owner to implement. She also provides really helpful support along the way. I can't recommend Brenda enough! .”

  • "Brenda has trained 7 of my dogs over the years with positive reinforcement. Brenda started with my dog who had an attachment disorder diagnosis from Tufts University. Brenda was able to make my dogs quality of life greatly improve without using medications. Brenda worked with my dog to eliminate her fear of people and dogs plus build confidence to relieve her anxiety and fears. Brenda over the years has a natural talent to work through my dogs behavioral issues with positive reinforcement. I have a multi dog household. Brenda's training is exceptional and has amazing results! Highly recommended!!!!
