Beacon Dog is proud to be sponsoring an adoption event on 10/19 at the York County SPCA. During this event, adoptions are half off to the adopter and Beacon Dog will pick up the other half. We will also have a table at the event to answer all your training and behavior questions. See ya there!

York County SPCA will have a series of events centered around pit bull-type dogs in October during Pit Bull Awareness Month.

10 years ago, I began my journey with the York County SPCA. At the time, I saw it as a way to spend more time with my dad. He and I started volunteering and had such good times walking dogs together.

This pic was taken in early December 2015 at my first event.

Little did I know then, I’d be more involved as a volunteer, and now as a dog trainer and canine behavior specialist. I’m proud to announce that my company, Beacon Dog, is a training resource for the York County SPCA.

Let’s do more together!

I’ve always firmly believed my clients will decide my success or failure with canine training and behavior. The below review puts the wind in my sails and lets me know I’m making a difference in the lives of both the client and their dog. After all, it’s more so about the quality of the review than the quantity. Give it a read, a like or even a share. Creating Beacon’s footprint in a new region is challenging and time consuming. Please help me get the word out!

★★★★★ "I’ve written and rewritten this review a dozen times because I NEEDED to make it clear that Brennen saved my life, my sanity and our home! We welcomed an 8 week old puppy into our family and from day one, I knew we had our work cut out for us. We were not first time dog owners and...

Our client Ashley had recently adopted Finn (on right) and needed help with his excessive barking, excitement and overall obedience. After assessing, I wrote her an exercise plan for Finn along with demonstrating redirection techniques and basic obedience to establish a leadership relationship with him. Ashley has done so well with him. GREAT success!
