Patient with dogs. Clear with people.
I’m Raam Brousard, owner of Reward-a-Dog. My approach combines decades of hands-on experience with a simple belief: dogs learn best when we understand who they are, communicate clearly, and make learning rewarding.
Whether I’m working with you in your home or caring for your dog in mine, the goal is the same—a calmer, more confident dog and a stronger relationship between you.

Life gets better on both ends of the leash.
“Raam helped us regain control and create a harmonious atmosphere with our dog. We are all so much happier together.”
“Going for walks was torture and scary. Not anymore. Fozzie is patient, walks correctly beside me, and ignores other dogs.”
“Kind, patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to communicate with. We saw tremendous improvement in just over a month.”
