Congratulations! You just took the first step toward having a well-behaved dog!
It is a common misconception that dog training is only for puppies. Training your dog early (when possible) is ideal, but if you missed that window, it's not too late!
Sky Soldier Dog Training does not discriminate based on the dog's age, breed, or temperament.
So - if you looking to hire a dog trainer that offers private training sessions in the comfort of your home and you live within 40 miles of Saint Louis County - you are in the right place!
What services are offered at Sky Soldier Dog Training?
We offer a package of 6 Sessions that are one hour each week. Sessions focus on both baseline obedience as well as address behavioral concerns depending on your training goals.
For clients that complete basic obedience, we also offer a training session to introduce an E-collar as a training tool (if desired and deemed appropriate).
How much does training cost?
To receive a bid for training you'll need to first schedule a complimentary Zoom consult by using the Calendly link button below! Pricing is custom-built for each and every client. We purposely price packages to be as accessible as possible for dog owners while also providing undeniable value for your money.
If you've read our reviews on Google - you know this sentiment is shared by many!

You have young kids in the home or grandkids that you want to make sure can be safe around your dog(s)
You have behavioral concerns such as counter surfing, excessive whining, destructive behavior, poor leash manners, etc., and are looking for some help to put a stop to the madness
You have adopted or purchased a dog that behaves differently than any other dog you've owned and you just need some help figuring out how to handle that in the best way
You have concerns about your dog's reactivity around other people or pets and need help curbing the behavior safely but without the use of avoidance
You value honesty and working with someone that is not looking to create a forever client that comes back again and again because the training program works the first time!

"Hands down the best dog training around. I would highly recommend Sky Soldier to anyone who is looking to train their dog. I have been through a few different trainers with my dog and past dogs and I have gained more knowledge from Brandon in six sessions than I have in all of my other training combined.
My dog, Tater Tot, would go crazy when we would go on walks and did not do well with anyone walking into my apartment. Throughout the training, we were able to build his confidence and those things have progressively gotten better and better! He even got the best compliment when a lady said that he was the most well-behaved Pomeranian she has come into contact with! Thank you Brandon for such an amazing experience!"

"Our blue heeler Percy was a hot mess - anxiety, barking, nipping, pulling, lunging at other dogs…you name it, he had it. I called in Sky Soldier Dog Training and he set up our 6-week course, working the schedule through schedule changes, and even coming on holidays.
I came to Brandon with a litany of issues but he insisted that we start from the basics and develop boundaries, instill confidence in Percy, and train us better on proper reinforcement and consistency. The training was brilliant and totally opened my eyes to a whole different way of thinking about training.
Brandon did a superb job of explaining the *why* and demonstrating the *how* by incorporating both positive reinforcement and fair pressure which was far more effective than just saying “NO” and hoping for the best.
Percy is a whole new dog now. Even though we didn’t directly cover specific negative behaviors like barking in the car, nipping us during play, or lunging at other dogs, he now has more confidence, and we have a better understanding of how to enforce boundaries so he actively and consistently makes better decisions with confidence.
Thank you, Brandon!"

"When you’re looking for a trainer, it’s a big responsibility and can be quite a daunting task. That person will become part of your puppy’s routine and structure, and by extension, will become a part of the family. The decision to choose Brandon at Sky Soldier Dog Training was an easy one. Simply put, he cares.
Your journey, much like any job or new endeavor, starts with an interview, in this case via Zoom. Brandon gets to know your goals, explains his training philosophy, expands on his training background, and “meets” your pup. In our case, our Jackson was the young age of 12 weeks. Brandon outlined via a detailed proposal, what his “plan” was and asked for feedback before a mutual agreed contract was signed.
During training sessions, Brandon was straightforward, patient, and attentive, and told you things you didn’t necessarily want to hear, but needed to hear. Jackson’s training plan needed some modifications, and Brandon handled those with ease. Dog training isn’t always just about training the dogs, but is also training for us as pet parents.
Outside of training time, Brandon was always available, which was extremely comforting.
All in all, personalized, individual, and private training is absolutely the way to go. Jackson’s lessons don’t stop now that training is “over,” but will continue throughout his life. Sky Soldier Dog Training was just his springboard."
