I personally have worked with Brad for a little over 6 months now.

I was first drawn in by his exceptional work with his own dogs and seeing his clients excell.

In a short amount of time, Brad has really changed the way I see dog training. I'm so happy to see the results of the amazing coaching I've received.

I've met with some of Brads other clients and we are all on the same level - committed individuals putting in the work to be better & really just loving the process!

It's an amazing community.

I feel privileged to work with you Brad and I am excited to raise my next pup with your guidance!

1st class dog training services, and facility.

Brad just understands these animals, in my opinion very few can understand dogs like he does. I would encourage you to just take a look at the content online, and this will paint a small picture of brads skills/ability.

Upon attending puppy school, and having my dog develop an immense obsession for other dogs (where the puppy school trainers couldn’t help and in fact we’re making things worst), I was recommended by a friend to book a session with Brad. This was the best decision I have ever made for my dog and I.

Brad taught me the fundamentals and how to effectively communicate with my dog, this helped build the awesome relationship that I have with my dog (my dog WANTS to listen to me).

I will say this though, if your expecting results without putting in the work, than no trainer can help you. From my personal experience, doing the work is bloody rewarding.

CSI's knowledge, expertise and passion is second to none. Brad's guidance and education helped us create some unbelievable changes in our 5yo dog (2016) who had some behavioural issues within a few short months. If you are willing to do the work - the results speak for themselves.

We have now engaged Brad's services in helping us with puppy development with our 6 month old German Shepherd (2021). We really appreciate that Brad's approach is for the long term happiness of our boy, and for us as a team.

It was really important to us to find someone who wasn't about a quick fix, but more of a sustained journey and to be a mentor if and when issues arise. Brad even sent us some podcasts and other resources he has which were super helpful and at no cost.

The facilities are clean, professional and equipped with everything you need to transfer skills you learn to your home. We are currently working through a week by week program 1:1 which is already creating great results and (most importantly) setting us up for long term success.

It's hard to not feel inspired to create the best opportunities and success for you & your older or younger doggo with Brad from our experience. Highly recommend!

Brad at Canine Services International has been an absolute lifesaver for our Bordercollie, Bowie. We had spent thousands of dollars and hours of time with other dog trainers and obedience schools in Melbourne for Bowie’s anxiety/reactivity but we were seeing little to no improvement. We got to the point where we were wondering whether rehoming Bowie was our only option.

Brad was recommended to us and our only regret was not seeing him sooner. He is knowledgeable, patient, adaptable, straight to the point and breaks down training concepts so that they’re simple for someone who has no idea what they’re doing.
The fact that Bowie (an anxious dog who is often fearful of men and other trainers) is actually excited going into the training centre and happy to see Brad speaks volume for his work and character.
We could not be more impressed and happy with how much Bowie has improved and honestly, we couldn’t have done it with you, Brad!

If you are someone researching the overwhelming amount of dog trainers/behaviourists in Melbourne looking for an answer, like we were- I’d recommend checking out Brad’s Instagram and listening to his podcast, The STIM (eps 8, 10, 15 and 22 helped us particularly) as it assisted us in making the decision to go ahead - a wealth of information that is like nothing else you’ll find on the internet. We have just purchased another training package - worth it’s weight in gold.
Thank you so much!

Brad has helped my wife and I develop and shape our 6 month old puppy for the last few months. During that time, we have been given the tools to build the confidence of our little pup as well as fine tune some behaviours. A journey that we are still on.

We engaged Brad after consuming hours of his free online content (social media and podcast), which I highly encourage you to do first if you are thinking of contacting him.

We ultimately made the decision to go with CSI not because of any one issue or behaviour our pup was showing, but to be proactive in our approach to having a confident, well rounded and well behaved dog in the long run.

Brad is a knowledgeable, experienced and inspiring individual with a professional approach to dog training and the professional facility to match.

I would highly recommend CSI to anyone that was looking to develop a puppy or older dog.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brad for our border collie,Lunar, who was experiencing a lot of behavioral issues and high levels of stress and anxiety. The experience with Brad has been outstanding. From the very first session, it was evident that Brad possesses a very deep understanding of canine behavior and training techniques.

Lunar, who has been with us for 4 years, has shown remarkable improvement in obedience and overall behavior. Brad used various methods, ensuring our dog felt comfortable and motivated throughout the training process. It was the very first time that we saw Lunar so engaged during training sessions, which made it pleasant for us to maintain ongoing training with her.

What truly sets Brad apart is his personalized approach. He took the time to understand our specific needs and tailored the training sessions to address our concerns. His patience, expertise, and genuine care for our dog's well-being were evident in every interaction.

We highly recommend Brad to anyone seeking a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate dog behaviorist trainer. The results speak for themselves, and we couldn't be happier with the progress our border collie has made. Thank you, Brad , for your dedication and exceptional service!

Great people, great facility. If you’re serious about your dog or a budding dog trainer, don’t hesitate

This is Brad's life, he has certainly dedicated the best part of it to this craft. He's a straight shooter with an open mind and a big heart. I would never hesitate in recommending Brad's services to anyone who I knew was going to be prepared to meet the challenge head on and work with Brad to achieve their desired outcome. CSI's podcast is well worth a listen also!

Brad is dripping in authenticity and passion for helping people.

He is extremely results focused and has the depth of knowledge required to navigate the minefield of processed and procedures that will get you there, all while considering the ethical and emotional wellbeing of you and your dog.

He is constantly engaged with the industry and has a strong sense of community. brad is someone I often go to for advice, even having been in this industry in a variety of capacities for a number of years.

Highly recommend.
