– ABOUT THE TRAINER
Hi, I’m
Brian Luce
Training Since 2017
Born and raised on Martha’s Vineyard, I started my journey as a dog trainer by traveling across the United States shadowing as many trainers as I could. After years of working under experienced professionals, I moved home and built Island Dog Training around a philosophy I wasn’t seeing anywhere else.
My training works because I focus on you and your dog throughout the entire process. No two dogs learn the same way – so I don't train the same way for each dog. My approach is fully personalized to your needs and your dog's needs.
I believe in teaching people to understand how their dogs think, rather than simply making dogs “obedient”. I love working with people just as much as I love working with dogs so I focus on being an educator to both. I don’t own a facility because I bring dogs all over the Vineyard – training in the real environments where your challenges actually happen.
My goal is never to “finish” and move on to the next dog. I aim to build lasting relationships that extend through your dog’s entire life.

Private Lessons
1 Hour personalized dog training lessons for you and your family.
Each lesson is suited towards you & your dogs exact needs and goals. We will do our lessons wherever your issues are taking place, this could be in home, on walks, or out in public. This is my most common form of working with people and is what I always recommend to start with before moving into any other programs.

Puppy Program
A series of 8 lessons covering everything you need to know about raising a puppy.
These are held inside your home & areas they will spend the most time in. Puppies do not need a “puppy class” or group class to socialize as they tend to curate an environment of excitement and overstimulation. Proper socialization with dogs & humans are covered in the 8 weeks and we will go over how to do it properly together.
