Bryan has been professionally training dogs since 1999. Growing up in a small rural Texas town he had a special way around animals. He comes from a family history rich in Texas ranching which explains his calm demeanor.
Bryan and his family have lived in Waxahachie, Texas since 1999. In Ellis county since 1984, Bryan has a deep commitment to his community. Bryan has over 20 years experience in dealing with all types of behavior issues including those reactive dogs. He has personally worked with over 10,000 families to provide peace and structure in their homes.
Training dogs isn’t about using force, while at times correction is needed, it is about developing a working relationship built on communication and trust using PRAISE.
— Bryan Thomas
Bryan got his start training dogs under the apprenticeship of Bob Ropos and Jon Bolander at one of the nations largest board and train facilities. He worked his way up earning several accommodations and letters of merit to becoming a manager of operations. After over 10 years of service Bryan decided he wanted to bring his trade back to benefit the community he lived in. Bryan and Bob still stay in touch and have been doing a weekly dog training show on YouTube; you can check them out at Rockn Dogz there.
