Our Team
Dependable members
Our team of dog trainers is small, yet dependable. We care about your dogs training and believe that with structure and training comes confidence; not just from your dog, but from you as well.

Brian Berger
Lead Dog Trainer
After high-school Brian spent four years in a Special Operations unit in the US Army. Towards the end of his contract he was diagnosed with cancer, which is when he got his first real taste of the amazing impact that dogs can have on a persons mental and physical health.

After attending Highland Canine‘s Master Trainer course, Brian started Urban Canine to bring the knowledge and training methods back to the greater Richmond area with him.
We like to stress the importance of education with our clients. Our goal, especially when using training tools of any kind, would be for owners to leave our training confident in how to use and also how to explain to others how to use all of these tools.
Brian is also a member of the IACP and AKC Nosework.
